Pacquiao's Adviser Prefers Cotto Next, Not Mayweather

[GRUSTLER]

Two of those easy fights are on Mayweather's murderer's row of a resume.

Your right, Floyd fought an Oscar De La Hoya who was
at his natural weight 154lbs and healthy (With a title)
and an UNDEFEATED Ricky Hatton who actually won
a title at 147. That's not the point I'm making though
Pac has dominated his last 3 fights by the surprise of
many so shouldn't he want to get at Floyd? Obviously
they think Cotto is less of a threat than Floyd and this
article has stated that. Bob Arum will still make more
$ if he let Pacquiao fight Floyd rather than Cotto.

Freddie Roach don't want Pacquiao to fight Mosley or Mayweather
because he knows their too tough for Manny bottom line. Freddie
sees something in Cotto that gives Pac the chance and that is
probably because Manny will be much faster than Cotto and
more open for a flush power shot. Floyd/Shane too durable
for Pac to look spectacular against and Top Rank is riding
the wave. What if Cotto loses next month? Will Top Rank
still make the fight happen?

Did u say that Floyd is durable? In what fight did he prove that. His mouth is durable tho! Cotto PAC makes sense cuz Arum needs to throw Cotto a bone if he wants him to resign. Sooner or later PAC is going to take another loss because all the big fights for him r against naturally bigger guys and his power won't hurt them! He can't knock out floyd, cotto or shane. And they know that. They hope his hand speed will get him a decision and his best chance of that is against Floyd because he won't try to punch with him. He'll wait to try to counter and PAC will drop combos and get out range b4 floyd returns fire. Not saying it will work but that's the smart gameplan. Use his defensive nature against him! And Floyd better hope cotto does fall because I feel arum will bypass him. Floyd or cotto can beat him, so why let floyd be the one? If cotto beats PAC he's new p4p king and still with top rank. It's only smart, don't u think? And if Floyd wants the crown he'll have to take it from Cotto, then we'll see how bad he wants it

Pac aint duckin floyd floyd wudda waited 1 more day instead of signin that deal with jmm he wudda been fightin pac plus floyd doesn't seserve 60% thatt dude hasn't fought in to years cotto will destroy both of themm he won't beat fmj in 12 but if he touches his chinn he will break that glass jawww ... any1 recall the ricky hattan mayweather righ 1st round hattan almost dropped him its all but actually hittin him u guys are also forgettin how much of an awesome body puncher cotto iss.. That's gonna slow and fighter downnnn if u don't kno ask zab judah ask mosleyy ask ricardo torres any 1 else?

Some of you Floyd nut-huggers insinuate that Pac is scarred to face PBF so he'll face Cotto instead are amusing as hell. YOUR OWN FIGHTER (Mayweather for you slow ones) retired than have to face Cotto. Cotto would give Mayweather all he could handle and more. We will see if Mayweather will face Mosley after beating JMM. But we all know he won't.

Manny knows what's coming to him if he fights Pretty Boy. He will get soundly outboxed by a superior boxer just as Juan Manuel Marquez showed in his two fights with Pacquiao. What's even worse for Manny against PBF is that he is A. Faster than JMM and B. Bigger than JMM. Can Pacquiao beat Mayweather? Anything is possible, but I certainly believe that Pacquiao is very much mortal when he fights a boxing counterpuncher, especially one that is FAST.

Arum realizes this, as does Freddie Roach. Freddie has stated on many occasions he does not like the fight against Mayweather for the reasons I just stated. All fighters have their weaknesses, and Arum isn't ready to give up his crown ***el to his former one in PBF.

If that is the case than Top Rank should make it more
clear than saying that Floyd/Pacquiao would be a boring fight.
Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr would be a grueling fight and to say
other wise is just an excuse. Cotto may not even get passed
Clottey next month so what happened then? Everyone is
talking as if Cotto is going to dominate Joshua Clottey? Don't
see that happening. At this point Floyd will fight whoever
makes sense and I am a avid believer that Floyd would spank
Cotto anyway so if he's the man to beat then he will get his
too.

First off hatton was given a belt at 147 because in no way did he deserve that decision against collazo and I believe oscar beat mayorga for his belt a 154. Do you really want to use those two examples?

pac's team says that cotto/pac is a more exciting fight and pbf/pac is a less exciting fight because of the styles involved. I dunno how anyone can deny this.

Manny knows what's coming to him if he fights Pretty Boy. He will get soundly outboxed by a superior boxer just as Juan Manuel Marquez showed in his two fights with Pacquiao.

floyd will fight defensive and make the fight slow. how can anyone deny this?

TR and Roach has said that floyd/pac will be boring.

Did you just say Floyd had a glass jaw? If Cotto was such a
dominate puncher how come he couldn't KO Mosley/Margarito?
He connected on them flush almost at will and wasn't effective
of stopping them. Floyd whips Cotto all day anyday and when/if
that fight ever happens come see me and we can bet as many
points as you want.

Yes, I tend to agree Mayweather would slow the pace and make it a wide UD for him. This is not the point. The point is the supposed two best P4P fighters in the world fighting each other for the fictitious title, right? You can't have it both ways. You either fight the other guy who is considered the old P4P best and risk a loss, or you take the ***** way out and say it's going to be boring. Last I checked champions fight other champions, not find excuses why NOT to fight them. That's called ducking.

P.S. I immensely dislike Mayweather, but I am not one to ignore facts or deny credit to one's abilities no matter how much I dislike a fighter.
