Which victory would be considered better in terms of risk and not exposure and fame?

Accomplishments wise

Pavlik vs Williams because is for teh unified, lineal MW championship.

In terms of Legacy Pacuiao vs Cotto, because of teh status of both fighters and what its at stake, plus the exposure of the fight!

ya gotta be kidding me....Cotto taking on a distracted midget is a risk?

Pwill over Pavlik by far. Cotto shoulda rematched SSM to crown a new lineal WW champion. Pac is just a $ fight.

I just read that Ali was still the HW lineal Champ when he was out, and Holmes only was lineal when Ali came back and Homes beat him.

So by that said Floyd still the lineal WW champ.

Mosley vs Cotto would be for the Ring Mag title only!!!!!

Dont know if Mayweather retirung affected all of this.

I think he sould not be the lineal Cham, but he can certainly be!!!!!!!!

pwill beating pavlik is a bigger risk and accomplishment

champ..floyd isnt the linear champ..its vacant

Cotto has consistently fought the best WWs and jrWWs for a while now so fighting a guy moving up isnt as big a risk as an untested MW in Williamsafighting the best 160lber in the world.

Lineal Championships cant be vacated, the line gets broke for X or Y reasons but it cant be vacated.

Did you read what I wrote?

Do you now Lineal does not = Ring Mag right?

Again Ali was Consider the Lineal Champ when he was not fighting and Homes was not crown as lineal Champ till Ali came back and Holmes beat it.

I think because FLoyd retire he vacated all his title and broke the lineage, but he may very well still be the Lineal Champ.

when a fighter retires he can't return as the linear champ..ali wasnt the linear champ when he fought holmes...holmes was the champ...holmes was just in ali's shadow

I think Cotto winning is a long shot and if he does, he will have done something that is less likely than if Williams beats Pavlik.

NOTE* I do favor Pavlik to beat Paul, but I could totally see PW beat Pavlik with his beard and workrate. That guy can flat out take a shot. Period. I have never seen him even buzzed in the slighest little bit.
