Pacquiao vs. Cotto in 09: Arum Would Attempt To Do It

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The welterweight dreamfight, Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto, could actually stand a chance of becoming a reality. Before Antonio Margarito lost his boxing license for a full year, Pacquiao was actually calling for a future fight with the much-larger former champion. Nobody knows how serious he was, but there was a lot trash talking with Pacquiao [and trainer Freddie Roach] predicting that he was capable of outboxing Margarito with few issues. Now that Margarito is gone, Miguel Cotto remains. Cotto mentioned a potential Pacquiao fight in several recent interviews and said he is more than willing to fight the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. [details]

Not that I think it's going to happen but what if Cotto loses to Jennings? Pacquiao-Jennings?

Man, this will be like Christmas gift for me. Let's get it on.

I would prefer much Mayweather vs Pacquiao, because Cotto would massacre Manny, eitherway let's get it on...

i just hope SSM gets his rematch but it looks like arum will send cotto down easy street to make sure this happens

Man two of my favorite fighters, I had a feeling this was going to happen. After Pac gets through Hatton and takes his title, Pac attempts a title at 147. I knew this was going to happen. I see Pac attempting this feat.

I agree, Shane deserves that rematch before Pac. But knowing Bobs mindset since this is a business, I bet he sets up Pac vs. Cotto since their both with TR. Arums needs someone someone to take Pac's throne since Pac has intentions to go to politics in 2010.

Arum is cashing out on Pac. It's his last year in boxing after all and Arum probably didn't like how he had to fork out some of his own money so save Pac-Hatton from being scrapped. He'll be praying that Pac loses that one because Cotto's gonna be his only big star left after Pac retires.
