I really don't see how he would be better competition, but that is your opinion. Manny is a great fighter, but he would be fighting Floyd at a higher weight. Cotto is a real WW and can box... believe it or not. Not just that but many think Cotto hits harder than Pac...and could be able to catch him with something. Who knows though...Pac's movement might be hard for May...doubt it though.
How can you not give Cotto credit if he beats Pacquiao

How is Floyd ducking Cotto when it was Arum who said that he doesn't want to put his fighter in the ring with a business man after Cotto beat Mosley? I guarantee you if Cotto beats Pacquiao, Arum will have him go in an opposite direction of Floyd.
Now Floyd saying things like Cotto needs to become his own boss and that he would retire from boxing and not let boxing retire him needs to be taken into consideration too. But if you think either one of these guys have ducked each other, then you are biased toward one fighter and have an agenda. They are both at fault for the fight not happening. I've said that until I'm blue in the face.Comment

Ch@mp, I want Pacquiao to win because it's bigger for the sport and I could see Pacquiao beating Mayweather. Now, I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto win, only so you could see how easily Mayweather handles him. I'm not trying to be an ******* but that's how I really feel. Watch Ch@mp edit my post.Comment

dlh was a payday.

pac hasn't proved **** at WW.Comment

Marquez had what, one fight maybe two fights above 130? Pacquaio has been fighting above that weight for a while now. Not to mention Marquez really will never fill out to a 147lb frame. Pac has filled out rather nice, especially at 140(fights only 5 pounds above that). Not to mention as much as I hate to say it, Pacquaio is just simply better than Juan. Its a different situation imo.Comment

Only thing I can think of is your just being a hater. Pac is a proven and legit 140lb fighter (arguably the best 140lb in the world), has fought at WW, and is p4p top 2 fighter in the world.
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.
You just answered your question. Pacquiao is a JWW not a WW. Thank you. Cotto will get credit if he beats pacquiao but NOT amazing-crazy-off-the-wall-credit if you know what I mean.Comment

Paul Williams beating Kelly Pavlik would've warranted more praise than Cotto beating Pacquiao. Also beating Dzinziruk should too. I wish Dzinziruk didn't have trouble with his promoter right now, or else we'd probably see that fight. He's a lot better than Martinez. And Pacquiao is only controversially proven at 140. Not 147. And the reason I say controversially at 140 is because Hatton was not the best fighter in that division even though he was champ.Comment
