    Arum is REALLY trying to sell this Pac-Cotto fight isn't he? Can't he just wait until the end of the Mayweather-Marquez fight before he starts this crap? It all seems he isn't too keen on negociating with Floyd and wants to push Manny into Cotto right away. Cotto-Pacquiao is a very good fight but Mayweather-Pacquiao would go down as one of the biggest megafights in the history of boxing. There's too much money on the table for the Floyd-Manny fight NOT to happen. Besides, you could possibly screw up that fight if Cotto were to beat Pac. Arum, stop your bull**** and fight Mayweather NOW! Make it happen.

      I agree, Cotto continues to take too many punches and there was no improvement in this fight against the uppercut.

Cotto would have great advantage if it would be at 147 lbs. Cotto is currently in his prime and at 147 lbs. is definitely more dangerous than Dela Hoya, Mayweather or Mosley. I trust coach Roach would not compromise his fighter, for the sake of money.
        I just cant gree with u that cotto is more dangerous than Mayweather and Mosley. I believe its the other way around. i mean Cotoo is just slow compared to Pac. Size? Hatton and Oscar are bigger than Pac. SIze of cotto matters little.
        people here know cotto is very vulnerable! he get hurt by zab, clottey. Imagine the Pacman is in front of him... what a disaster!!!!!!!!!

          u r a big PBF fan. Im too. But Im a bigger fan for Pacquiao. I do agree. cotto is overrated and Manny wud kill Cotto. why do people here pick cotto's size? they donot see as always Pacs speed and in and out style! p.s . uncountable punches!

              Cotto is bigger than Pac in terms of size but not in Power. Pacquiao has three "Big Advantages" that Cotto will have a hard time dealing if that fight happens... Speed and Relentless Aggression plus Good Strategy from Roach.

                Co-sign, that's what makes him an exciting fighter to watch for me, I see vulnerability... whenever he fights I always see a 50/50 chance... except for Jennings.

                Determination, Punching Power, Luck = Cotto

                    Let this fight happen at 147, no catchweight.

                      November is just too much of a vacation by Pac. I think this is just Arum`s tactic of 55/45 Pac-PBF split.
