Cotto winning would actually be good for boxing...

[PittyPat]

... Because that way he becomes the real deal at 147, and will have the right people chasing after him (by rights they should, at least). We could see that Mosley rematch, Mayweather, Williams, a Clottey rematch, or even a Margs rematch (come on, you all know it has to happen). I would have no problem calling him the Man at 147, providing he actually fights WWs and does it with style. In the end, he's a good bloke.

A Pacquiao loss, meanwhile, would be a very good thing. Why? Well, that way we'd get to see that Marquez re-rematch (whether or not he beats Mayweather is irrelevant), or lots of other possibilities at 140 or 135 where he belongs. He will never face a live opponent at 147 - it'll always be at a catchweight or something else - so I think it's better that both men end up going back to their real divisions after all this and being the best there.

I mean, are people actually labelling Pac as a WW now? I don't really care about the catchweight for this fight anymore, but what about afterwards? With all these WWs who want to fight him, will he demand catchweights for them too? Like I said, if he loses, he'll be forced to go back to 140 or 135 where he knows he can beat anyone. One loss to a real WW (who, hopefully, will blow up to LMW or MW on the night) will surely make him think twice about setting foot in that division again.

No hate, just an observation.

I hope Pac knocks him out in the 1st round so the Pac hype gets bigger and bigger

I'm rooting for Pac in this one

Upon which Pac becomes a WW who wants everyone to come down to meet him below 147? No thanks. If he beats Cotto, he should choose a division and stick with it. If Cotto beats him, Pac will doubtfully want to fight another natural WW.

he hasn't got many fights left though. he won't be fighting Mosley, Clottey, Williams etc at 144lbs or whatever

he'll fight Mayweather, maybe Mosley, maybe Marquez and that's it

i think it's best for boxing and neutral fans if Pacquiao wins as it gives us Mayweather - Pacquiao, one of the most significant fights ever

He can face Floyd, him and Floyd both weigh 148

All at 147? That'll be the day. Mosley did something terrible when he said he'd fight at 140...

Won't ever happen. I'm more sure of that than the outcome of any actual fights out there. :laff2:

yea.. i think it will be great for the WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION its already the best division in boxing hands down.. so many great names.. doesnt matter to me who wins as long as there is a great fight.. sky is the limit for the winner, i definately dont wanna see cotto and margs again so cotto can prove that he cheated.. but hopefully next time he fights him he will stick to his real gameplan.. the body shots.. he stayed away from margs body.. IMO the biggest mistake in that fight.. i think thats the real reason he lost.. he hardly hit to the body.. it wont be boring in boxing for the next couple years thats for sure.. cant wait

I think it will happen, that bout would crush the numbers of any other fight, they'd be ****** to not fight

I think Mosley is the least likely to land a bout with Pacquiao, but if he does it'll probably be 143lbs or 145lbs. Not ideal, granted, but what can you do... Mosley is willing to concede that advantage it seems

Marquez/Pacquiao III would probably be at 140lbs

Mayweather/Pacquiao, weight doesn't really matter. Both rehydrate about the same amount, the fight would play out the same whether it be at 140lbs or 147lbs

FTR I think the Mayweather/Pacquiao bout will happen. It makes too much monetary sense not to

it wont happen.. floyd demands too much that he doesnt deserve.. maybe his eyes will open when the pac/cotto fight outsells his lame easy fight with marquez..
