Hmm 50:50. I think the reason for the catchweight was because Cotto had clearly showed that he wasn't durable at 140. It was a pretty lopsided victory though, so I can understand those not thinking another confrontation necessary. I think there would be a good bit of interest hough at 154.
On a side note I don't like the Cotto/Canelo fight yet, I think Canelo has so much potential, why rush it?
Cotto at 154 with his new trainer k.o.s PAC
That's how Cotto got destroyed, coming forward against Pac. Just too fast. He was doing better when he was using his jab and boxing.
If Cotto does what he was doing against May, it would end the minute he tries it. Pacquiao can throw twice as many punches because of the speed, in weird angles and powerful short punches. Whereas Cotto needs to windup to get his power shots.
Idiot.. Pac didnt want to fight at 154 anymore after the Marg fight.. LMAO.. You are forcing the issue.. When Pac fought Cotto, Cotto was a legitimate WW... So what's your issue of him fighting at 145.. Its not like he was drained in that fight... Or maybe that's just a convenient excuse for you..
why ask for a CW in the first place when Pac had fougth 2 147bl fighters with NO CW befor Cotto ?
Well he didn't want to fight Cotto with out a CW, after wanting and pursing a fight with Cotto at first. I wonder why the change of heart. I guess Manny doesn't desire fighting Cotto with out a CW as much he wanted with one:lol1:

I agree with PBP, He needs one more win over an elite fighter before he even considers retirement. A win against Pacquiao enhances his legacy tenfold and secures a spot below Mayweather and right under Marquez.
For the right money, I hope it happens. 150 Catchweight or it's a double standard because Manny fought Margarito there and won a useless title.
I feel Cotto should just go after Kirkland, Alvarez and become number #1 at JMW.
Also, FWIW, I don't see how you have Cotto under Marquez. IMO Cotto has had the better career and has the more impressive resume.

Yeah...pac destroyed cotto..and he would most likely win again no matter what weight..it may be somewhat more competitive this time around if at 154 considering pac may be a little slower but in the end pacs style is just all wrong for cotto.
I really would hate to see Pac vs Cotto II.
First of all, Manny didn't even want to hit and beat the sh1t outta gotta anymore, so why would anyone want to see Cotto demolished again.
Second, Margarito's face holds up a lot better than Cotto and has the better chin. I can only imagine the permanent damage Manny will do to Cotto if they ever fight again. The first fight Manny spent the first couple of rounds trying to test if Cotto had the power to hurt him and if Cotto would be to big for him, but in the rematch, not only will he face a Pacquiao that wont respect his power from the opening bell, he will be facing a Cotto that will be shell shocked from the first fight.
LMAO.. yeah right.. He is scared of a guy whom he beat up from pillar to post, and made him his B!tch for the night...
*****s and pac haters like to cling to the idea that the catchweight was the sole reason he lost....pac destroyed cotto so bad that I don't think cotto coming in at 147 would have made much difference at all.
No.. One beating is enough...
Yeah...pac destroyed cotto..and he would most likely win again no matter what weight..it may be somewhat more competitive this time around if at 154 considering pac may be a little slower but in the end pacs style is just all wrong for cotto.
Give him the rematch, but let him have a couple of tune-ups (easy last paydays) against southpaws to get him ready for Manny, just in case Pacman has his way again and ends Cotto's career.

thats what would happen, cotto isn't the best boxer, he's a brawler and pac would just eat that up once again.

LOL @ People thinking Cotto is a beast after clearly losing to Mayweather. Pacquiao Stops Cotto at any weight. Pacquiao already whooped him. No reason for him to give Cotto another paycheck he doesn't deserve.
Styles make fights. Cotto did actually pressure Pac on the ropes, and after he got Knocked Down.
If Cotto engages Pac like he did Mayweather, Pac stops him once again.
Pac looks good if you come to him.
So you think Cotto and his corner would be dumb enough to do the same plan twice??? Really?? Damn you people SMH!!!
After last night. Manny will problably now wan't the rematch to be at 144. Manny's scared of Cotto at 154 which is why he ducked him there after wanting to fight him in the first place:lol1:
