Why is Pacquiao willing to fight Miguel Cotto but wants no part of Shane Mosley?

    cotto probably more money but mosley is more glory.

    cotto quit against margarito in a fight he was winning while mosley destroyed margarito from round 1 on

      or

      Does Manny's camp see Cotto as damaged goods after the beatdown that Tony administered on Miguel?

      or

      What do you all think is the reason?
      Because Mosley has a rock for a chin (HUGE factor), very good power and still has fast hands. Pac cant stop him, and he cant out box him.

        both cotto and mosley are too big for pac.
        i think u already know why. that's because he(pac) knows it doesn't have a point. it's not his job to call out opponents. it's his promoter's job.

              Don't waste you time debating. It will Pac-PBF next after Hatton. that's the biggest fight out there. Floyd lost a lot of Money Lately, He needs work right now!

                How does Cotto bring more money?? What his highest PPV??? Please don't say 450 to 500k because the numbers were never released officially by Top Rank till this day

                  Pac isn't even a real WW so
                  Whoever he fights between the 2,Pac should get credit for having the balls for wanting to fight the top WW's.........unlike that b*tch as$ coward who claimed himself as the GOAT when he avoided the top WW's to retirement.

                    well how many featherweights or lightweights do u see wanting to fight any top welterweights???? dont worry ill wait
                    and pacquiao wanted MARGARITO cuz he sed hed outbox him
                    COTTO wanted pac here on boxingscene
                    and MOSLEY wanted pac on Friday Night Fights
                    i hate how everyone on this site is so ******
                    and theres even a VIDEO here of bob arum saying cotto and pacquiao is possible before cotto leaves top rank, u guys are always on this site but never read the articles or watch the videos, who doesnt wanna fight pac? pac only wants big names cuz he got it like that, but it still up to bob arum in the end

                      It was already in articles. If Cotto wins against Jennings, its winner of
                      Cotto-Mosley vs Pacquiao if he wins vs Hatton.

                      If Cotto loses, it`s Mosley-Pacquiao.

                      If Hatton wins, probably Pacquiao fights JMM then retires. And JMM fans are hoping Pac loss to happen, its the last possible way
                      Pac-JMM3 could happen. Lots of peeps will watch this fight.

                      That`s why Arum said Pac-Cotto COULD happen, there are lots of mitigating circumstances.

                      By the way, Mosley won against Margarito because the Mexican crowd booed him too much. It was a rush of adrenaline for Mosley, venting his ire on poor Marg.

                      Well, Mosley won`t be booed against Pac.
