Manny WILL NEVER fight Cotto at 154 , not in a million years he already PROVED that by ducking him at that weight , Manny WILL NEVER fight a top in form 147 pounder let along a 154 .
Why are so many fanboys blind to Mannys cherry picking of JWWs while ducking any 147-154 fighter that can really fight .
cotto hasnt beaten anybody worth mentining since he eked out a victory that he couldve lost to mosley, lol, cotto hasnt beaten anybody good at 154 unless you count handicaps or gimps homie, lol, manny has gone up in weight at welter (when cotto was a natural welter) and he destroyed cotto at cottos natural welterweight at the time, lol, since that pacquiao tko beating he gave to cotto,lol, cotto hasnt beaten anybody since, he shouldve lost to clottey, he fought horribly vs recycled crap champ mayorga and he defeated the gimps homie, lol, ask trout what happened to your king when trout destroyed your fake king, lol
Now that Pacman is off the stuff and cotto not weight drain......
Who would win?
Are we talking about 154 or 150 1/2 or 149 1/4?
Can Cotto really fight at 154?
Either way it's a rough one to call but have to go with the fighter who already won...even though the circumstances were questionable.
I'd favor Cotto this time around. I don't like Manny's chances against any top fighters above 147.

I like Cotto but other then vacant titles the only 2 world champions he has defeated had bad knees and this was well publicized....the man can fight but he is not on Mannys level at all and wold get beat up again
he also gets in trouble with bums like torres, trout, mayorga, and a handicapped eyeless marg., lol, we cant forget he coulda lost in the fights vs clottey and mosley, lol, those fights were so ****in even that arguably, anyone can say clottey and mosley beat cotto, lol, cotto has always been a hall of famer just a real overated one, lol, king cotto............no, his fans are dilusional, he is not a top notch fighter today but pre margarito he was a beast, lol, now he fights gimps and handicaps for titles and loses to a journeymen like austin trout recently, lol, king cotto, no, no king at all, lol, just a shell of his former self, lol, :hijacked:

Pacquiao is fighting at 144 in November which is WW. Anything above 140 is WW.
FFS another one who doesn't know weight classes
Ffs another person losing it over one small mistake. I just presumed because Algieri was a light welter champ after Provo, the fight which got him a pacquiao shot, that pac would fight him at 140. The fact that roach also said he wanted to move pac down to 140 made me presume that was the case
I think the foot work and hand speed would be an issue. Cotto is good at cutting off the ring...just a bad match up. Speed killls
I can see it but Pac is small. Even when he got his 154 strap it was at 152 and against someone that never fought at 154 before. Couple that with the last fight Cotto was below 147 and his improvement I got to go with Cotto on this one.
What's interesting is you don't hear either man's name in the other's mouth.
Sure wouldn't it be a big paycheck?
They'll never fight each other again, Freddie said as much when he started training Cotto. Even Roach knows a mentally stable, bigger and better version of Cotto would be a problem for Manny.
Come on guys let's be real. Pacquiao can't even weigh as heavy as 147 these days, that's why he's fighting a light welter in November. Cotto comfortably weighed in at 155 for Martinez. That alone is 10 pounds of muscle not even including how much he rehydrates. Cotto would physically be much bigger than pacquiao, who has never legitimately fought at light middle or middleweight.
Pacquiao has slowed down a little bit and cotto seems pretty strong at this weight.
And they're friends too so it's unlikely they would fight

IMO not easily but Pac UD, 115-113 or something like that. But I see that some people still don't understand, that Pac last KO was 5 years ago and the chance that he would KO Cotto now is extremely low, unrealistic.
Cotto can't really beat Pacquiao with any specific strategy.
He can't beat Pacquiao at long range because Pacquiao can go in and out too quickly for him to react. And he surely can't try to rought Pacquiao up because he would eat tons of punches while trying to close the distance, Pacquiao is a killer against pressure fighters.
The only way i can see him winning is catching Pacquiao cold mid-exchange, but that is also hard because Manny's punches would get there first.
^^^ This
Cotto knows that Pacquiao can hurt him. Cotto was loading up in the first fight and Pac took them no problem
I think Pacquiao lets him make it to the final bell, cuz there friends and stablemates, the more I think about it

So what? a shot Sergio Martinez is still light years ahead of guys such as "chris algieri" "ruslan" "mike alvarado" "brandon rios" "abregu".
Pacquiao is closing out his carreer in the shttiest way possible, all he had to was not re sign with top rank smh
austin trout is a journeyman who loses too much, lol, trout will only be remembered for imbarassing your so called king of nothing
