does anyone else think that Cotto vs Pac is a bit pointless.

[baya]

Oh, and cheers for the red k. I think you need to calm down a bit mate.

that wasn't me

They took the Cotto fight because it was the fight Arum was leaning more towards setting up. Pac and Roach saw "flaws" in Cotto during the Clottey fight and still look at Cotto as a big win (which it is). Did they see a threat in Mosley? Maybe, but fighting Miguel Cotto isn't taking steps down considering Cotto has a win over Mosley.

Also considering there's a cathweight for this fight, I'm sure they're not looking at Cotto as simply an "opponent". Risky fight for Pacquiao.

The fact Cotto has a win over Mosley doesn't mean much for this fight. Their fighting styles are different, and Mosley would be more dangerous an opponent for Pacquiao, making for a more competitive and exciting fight.

It's just my opinion, and I hope Cotto proves me wrong, but personally I think Cotto is gonna have a nightmare against Pac.

how ****en ****** are you? seriously, we're talking about a mosley that cotto already beat and you're saying he is the harder fight? ****en idiocy emanating from your post dude.

cotto's taken on challenges that pac only dreams of-i want your ***** ass in here on the 15th apologizing puto.

get some real boxing knowledge.

relax..

[gingeralbino]

im looking forward to it should be entertaining, and im a fan of both fighters.

dont like all the cotto/pac hugging/bashing though. its already got way past annoying.

UMMMMMMM the fact that cotto brings in a TON more cheese than mosley answers your question.

bro - take into account the level of opposition - not the flashy KO of an overrated brit and a malnourished mexican and countless other past their prime mexicans, oh, and the only one that was still in their prime, JMM, you can make a solid case for him winning both those bouts.

put that up against a bout against zab judah, quintana, mosley, margarito, clottey ... SON do you smell what i'm cookin' here!!!

be ready to be loving life then at about 12:30am when cotto gets that W then - sorry for going all in on you like that - you showed something in your reply.

good k for you.

Yeah, Cotto has a great resume and Pac's has been overrated as of late.

Pac still completely destroyed his last three opponents though, and Cotto hasn't really fought anyone with the speed, awkwardness and maybe even power of Pacquiao. I just think Cotto will struggle to get off, and end up getting stopped.

its going to be a great war and cotto will win with a mid to late round stoppage i think alot of u think cotto is just a opponent no he is the ww champ of the world. He should be the wbo and ibf ww champ but the ibf belt wasn't on the line. Cotto has beaten people pac would never be able to beat. Mosley would destroy pac seriously lol wouldn't be close clottey would just smother him to death and marg would stop him. Cotto will win nov 14

I said maybe Pac's power. Its more a combination of his power and speed. Pacquiao will hit hard enough to deter Cotto though IMO.

[shade darkar]

I'm still struggling to see what Cotto has done to deserve this shot, and its hard to see anything but a brutal ko by manny.

I dont know, the more i think about this fight, the less excited i get.

Mosley vs PAc, now thats a fight i could get excited about.
oh well....

its not the end of the world, but yeah id rather of seen mosley v mayweather, and pav v JMM 3. that is what should have happened!
