    So if Floyd doesn't get Manny next he'll get the pac/Cotto winner which is a nice prospect for fans as well
    .
    Could be a possibility too

Pacquaio has some balls for fighting Cotto.

      I do think the Pacquiao camp has the wrong thinking though. They think Cotto is a come forward brawler, but he's more of a boxer puncher.
      that guy has no say in ****.

      roach and arum will decide who pacquiao fights next.

        Cotto is no arturo Gatti imagine how A LOT of fighters felt when Floyd took that fight. How dare Pac fight anyone but Floyd you spoiled little ****s. Floyd shouldnt have to fight the best but when hes willing they better drop what they're doing and fight him. Floyd hasnt proved hes the best at all he retired he lost the best title when that happened. Right now Cotto is the best 147lber in the world props to Pac for going after him.

          Absolutely. Did Floyd retire after the Oscar fight or before it, I think he has retired twice.

                    Did he retire after the Oscar fight and if so how was he the WBC belt holder when he fought Hatton. You said when he retired he should have relinquished his PFP crown. Im just trying to make a point if I can.

I kinda dont think he would fight Cotto unless it breaks down as the winner gets Floyd, then Pac takes on JMM for a 3rd time, if he wins then he gets Floyd. Thats three paydays, actually makes sense than fighting Floyd right off the bat.
                      How about this man
                      Since Manny is P4P king and lineal champ of 4 divisions or 6?
                      Why not have Floyd Fight Cotto and the winner gets the match with Manny?
                      Why should Manny have to fight to get a crack at Floyd
                      There is a new sheriff in town and its
                      PAC MAN!!!!!!!!
                      get use to it buddy
