    The credit he Cotto receives when he wins will come more from casual fans than hardcore.
    Thats great for Cotto because he will have more people knowing him, Pac got huge mostly after his win against another Big name in Hoya. Cotto will do the same, just not on the larger scale of Hoya win.

        See, you are just bringing up a bunch of solid B-level fighters that Cotto fought at 140 to use as an excuse of why he shouldn't fight Williams. That's lame.

              I'd give him full credit. Pacquiao is the #1 P4P fighter and fought at welterweight before.

                If Cotto beats him he should be given full credit, because like Cotto said: "It's a guy coming up to challenge for my title". Also It's not like Cotto hasn't fought the best at WW. Fact...no one since Oscar has had a better resume at 147 and the only guys left for cotto at this moment are Floyd, Pwilliams, and Berto. The first two are tied up and Cotto will eventually get Berto's ass. So seeing how he has fought the best at 147 already, him facing and beating Pac will be another feather in his cap.
                I'll give Cotto full credit should he win because Pac has been established at this weight and has proven his ability to **** there. In contrast, the Mayweather/Marquez scenario involved a guy who had never fought at that weight and was clearly affected by the weight gain and the other guy did not even hold his end of the bargain. Pac seems better suited at lightweight due to his frame but he has done well at welter and should provide a much better challenge for Cotto than JMM did for Mayweather.

                  I'll agree with you there that Williams demands way too much for what he has produced. I'll say that he may have been avoided to some degree but some of that could also have been a result of his outrageous demands.

                    I use think Mayweather was fighting Cotto but he won't. He won't fight Cotto if he wins or loses.
