Guys, this is just textbook beautiful. Bob Arum announcing that Miguel Cotto will in fact challenge Pacquiao for the pound 4 pound supremacy, this is what had to happen in boxing. I know a lot of you are butthurt that Floyd got hurt, boohoo it happens, Floyd is the past, Cotto is the future. Do not be mistaken by yesterdays performance, NOBODY looks good against Joshua Clottey. Cotto fought with 1 eye getting blood poured into it, which weakens and demorizes you. Clottey could not close the show, when everybody knows Cotto doesn't have to be knocked down, he can be made to submit when you apply the right pressure. Cotto was running for his life for a couple of rounds and Clottey could still not make him submit, or fall. Cotto fought like a champion yesterday. Now, the reason I say Cotto will be P4p King, is because Pacquiao is just NTO on his level. WHo has the more impressive victories? COtto : Judah Mosley Clottey Jennings Quintana Gomez the list goes on and on. Cotto has shown that he faces the best out there, unlike other "welters". He was not afraid to face Margarito, and Clottey. He beat Mosley. Pacquiao is good, but really, and old DEHYDRATED oscar? A OVERRATED BUM like hatton? He bit a bit too much and he's going to look like a little boy against Cotto come november 14th. Only way he wins is if he makes Miguel go down to 144 or below, crippling him effectively. Cotto hits like a mule, and Manny paqcuiao and his style like to get hit, a lot. Cotto is going to expose this temporary p4p king, and he's going to be number 1 in the world come november. This is what boxing has been waiting for, because now, Floyd will have to go to Cotto, he will have nowhere else to run. Pacquiao CAAAAANA win, but its highly unlikely. This fight will not go past 7 rounds, they are both aggresive and will not be boxing looking pretty to the ropes, they will go at each other from round 1 and Cotto is going to put pressure on the smaller framed pacquiao, when pacquiao gets hit he's going down like he already has in the past.
There's going to be a new P4p #1, Miguel Cotto, you better believe it.

Even if Cotto does beat Pacquiao (highly unlikely, given his flaws against aggressive fighters), it doesn't make him P4P#1.
WTF? I thought only Ricky Hatton believed dumb **** like that?
P4P is a hypothetical based on body of work. Not one single fight.Comment

if cotto beats pacquiao, you can't possibly say he wont be recognized as p4p number 1, he's already top ten.Comment

Cotto doesn't even deserve to be be put up the list based on last nights performance which could have easily went to Clottey, and probably would have in LV.Comment

He's only on my #7 spot right now.
You don't just jump the likes of Rafael Marquez, Israel Vazquez, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, and Juan Manuel Marquez with just one fight.
Not even if the opponet is Pacquiao.
Regardless, it won't happen anyway.
Cotto showed signs of "Quitto" last night against Clottey.
Against a fast, aggressive son of a ***** like Pacquiao, he'll fold like a cheap beach chair.Comment
