    Both will make tons of money and would be financially rewarded and the boxing fans will be gifted with a legendary match from bell-to-bell.
    since when did pacquiao ever bulk up?

    he's the same size at 140-147 as he was at 130-135.

      he might not have a choice.

      cotto will force him into the ropes.

      unless cotto decided to box which would be a big mistake imo.

        My guess would be Pac 60/40, 145 lbs, and MGM.
        i heard it might be 70/30 for pac

            comparing how the fight might go.

            oscar was too fast and skilled for vargas in the middle of the ring but on the ropes vargas was too strong and overpowering.
            And when it mattered most, it was Oscar who was too strong and overpowering.

            Manny will look good, and then Cotto will wear him out and break his body. If Oscar could hurt Manny during the rare moments he looked alive, Cotto will break him.

              Loser, this fight will do good ppv #s, but will not break them, this is a meaningless fight to me, i will watch the replay but will not, not buy it. Now Pacquiao vs Mayweather i will buy. Cotto is an easy win for Pac, it's like paying to see Klitschko vs Maskaev or Mayweather vs De La Hoya or De La Hoya vs Hopkins, u know who's gonna win, but i bet u suckers payed for those fights, i didnt. Hahahhhaaa.

                Cotto is getting KO'd at anything below 147.

                @ 147 its a complete toss up but Id still give the edge to Manny.

                    all he needs is a few more big fights.

                    lopez will be #1 p4p in the world in the near future.

                    cotto will never be that.

                    if lopez can ever get a fight with rafa or izzy , he passes cotto. lopez will ko rafa and izzy quite easily imo.
                    with those n then moving up 2 destroy gamboa who is reall overrated IMO....

                      Roach and Pacquiao have went on record and said that Mosley is more dangerous than both Cotto and Mayweather. After the way Cotto performed against Clottey and barely won the fight, there won't be any credit coming from me to Pacquiao if he beats Cotto instead of Shane.
