    Believe u me,

    If u ask all boxing fans to vote which fight they want to see its gonna be
    Pacquiao vs Cotto not Cotto vs Molsey 2.
    Mosley is the no. 1 ranked Welterweight, and returned to form in a big way against Margarito. Cotto is the no. 2, and a rematch would be for the Ring/lineal title. You may not particularly want to see the issue of who's the number 1 Welterweight properly settled in the ring, but I know I'm not the only one who's very keen to see it. And I think it would be different from the first fight, and more exciting, because both fighters have something to prove, and because of Mosley's return to form. What's wrong with boxing is that the top fighters in the divisions aren't fighting each other, and there are no clear champions in most divisions, including Welterweight.

    As for people not wanting to see fights that have already happened, what about the clamour for Pac-Marquez III or Rafa-Vasquez IV? What about the great series between Ray Robinson and La Motta, Ali and Frazier, Graziano and Zale, Pep and Saddler? It's rivalries like that which make boxing such a great sport.

        Dave Rado brah,

        i know your undisputed champion & all, & im just a lowly contender, but i know for damn sure that more boxing people & mainstream fans would want to see Pacquiao vs Cotto & it would sell more than Cotto vs Mosley 2.......


        all due respect undisputed champion.

                  cotto vs mosely is what i wanna see next
                  and shane needs to fight agian soon..

                  but 147 is booked of the big names
                  and shane isin't looking for a small payday we all know
                  shtu up idiot.

                  Roach and manny's camp only wants Manny to fight people that compromise their health.

                  they dont want to fight 100% fighters b/c they know manny wont stand a chance.

                  if manny is the P4P #1 and is now a "WW" then he needs to fight WW's.

                  not WW who have to drain themselves to come down to mannys size.

                  manny's camp is exposing themselves for being cowards. and im not Cotto fan

                      That's your opinion, it's not fact. IMO, Pac-Mayweather would be a far bigger money fight than Pac-Cotto, especially if people thought Cotto was going to be weight drained.

                      Cotto-Mayweather would also be a huge fight, and in legacy terms a far more meaningful one as well.

                      Cotto-Mosley would be a pretty big fight too, IMO, and would be much healthier for the long term future of boxing, than Cotto-Pac at catchweight, because boxing needs to have clear champions instead of the top fighters at each weight avoiding each other using the excuse that fighting each other wouldn't make them enough money. That's the sort of argument Mayweather used to use, and IMO it's what's wrong with boxing.
