I think PACQUIAO should make him wait till 2010.
    i dont disagree w/ that,i just want to clear that pacs team didnt want to deal w/ cotto or valero cuz they are afraid or ducking fmjr...

      Everybody is pushing for Floyd vs Pac for obvious reasons but in Cotto vs Pac you have the potential for a really explosive back and forth fight of the type we expected from Hatton vs Pac. If it lasts a round or more longer than that fight, it should really be something to see.

        Pac vs Cotto is the fight I want to see. Pac vs Floyd is not going to live up to the hype just like Trinidad vs De La Hoya. Floyd is going to run and the fight will be boring like hell and is not going to help boxing grow. Sure the fight will get a lot of buys but people will leave disappointed. Cotto and Pacquiao are younger and their match would be the biggest and most exciting fight this decade.

            pac/cotto at a catchweight is not a bad fight and in many ways will be much more exciting than pac/pbf

              Valero vs Pacquiao!! That should be interesting, more interesting than Pac vs Floyd. Though Valero leave himself wide open but with a good distance, he would make a good fight depending on how he takes Pac's speed n handles it. I wouldn't mind seein this one @ all. Even though Valero never went to a decision lets see what he got.

                We saw what cotto was like at 140. His defense is awful and at a weight lower than 147, he is easily shook. Smoke and mirrors! And you all are falling for it. pbf stops most 140 and below but the novices on this forum are too new to know that. You guys are buying this TR bullshyt and happily riding the hype train.

                Have at it boyz! My money stays in my pocket!

                  Cotto is more dangerous than Floyd.

                  Pac isn't like Floyd to pick Israel Vasquez at 122. He will fight Miguel Cotto not a 122 pounder.

                    Why does Arum say these fights always have to be in Las Vegas. Boxing fights used to be events! The thrilla in Manilla, Rumble in the Jungle. Now everything is at the MGM grand, the most characterless arena in the world. I know it because of some sort of financial reason but why turn down fighting in the Cowboys' stadium when the other option is in front of 13000 people at the MGM. Let's have Floyd Manny in Manilla.

                      Not at anything less than 147
