        Even more entertaining than the Klitsko vs Ibragomov all Soviet showdown?

        Lol. jk

                    In all honesty I always have liked Cotto, and I have shown my support for him on NSB many times, but IMO (you do not have to agree) I think that fight was very close and scored it a tie, but I honestly believe Cotto was backpeddling not because he had a lead before entering the championship rounds, which he did, but rather due to the pressure getting to him. He was fighting back and in some circumstances winning exchanges, but I just did not see the defensive masterpiece people were talking about. I personally had that fight 6-6.
                    I don't have that much of a problem with scoring the fight close.

                    And I don't think that he put on a defensive masterpiece. But he did a good job of boxing, and I don't think it was because of the pressure getting to him. Shane didn't pressure until Cotto stopped pressuring.

                    My main point was that he was not running, that's a very inaccurate thing to say.

                        no. i'd watch, but cotto's fan base isn't big enough yet to make it a megafight.

                            it would be mega to me but not in general.

                            I think it would be a big event because of pac's new found popularity but not a mega event.

                                pac/cotto would be a mega-event, but it won't be as big as pac/floyd

                                    If I was cotto's manager, I would set him up with berto after the clottey fight and if he beats him, I would set up a fight with mosley in LA while making it public that the winner of that fight would face pacquiao... THEN AND ONLY THEN would this be a mega fight.

                                        depends what you classify as a mega-event.. IMO Floyd/Oscar, Tyson/Holyfield, Tyson/Lewis were mega events

                                        Pac-Cotto would be a big fight but not a mega event
