    One of Cotto's main problems against Pac was his defence. Even a prime Cotto was flawed in this department, a guy with Pac's speed and power would always give him problems and I wouldn't want to see a rematch as I think it'd go the same way.

    I think he'll be smaller than most at 154, speaking a fan I'd prefer to see him against the likes of Mayweather/Berto/Cintron or a rematch with Shane. I wouldn't have a problem with a Spinks fight, but I wouldn't expect it to be all that entertaining and I think Spinks is past it.
    I dont agree, Cotto is excellent defensively, hell even Manny Steward said Cotto is one of the best defensive fighters hes ever worked with. Cotto didnt have great balance in that fight because he was trying to hold his own against a much faster fighter. People also seem to forget Santiago never gave Cotto any advice during that fight, thats gotta be more frustrating than having Buddy mcGirt in your corner.

    That being said, Im not making excuses for Cotto because Pac would very likely beat him in a rematch.

    I want to see Cotto fight Angulo and Margarito again, those will be exciting fights. Spinks will probably stink out the place after he feels Cottos power, Dzinzruk is virtually unknown in the US, Kirklands still in jail and Cintron has lost a lot of stock. Williams will probably chase Martinez now

      Pacquiao would never agree to a rematch if Cotto looked prime again. But, if it did happen, I would definitely be willing to watch it, although a closer and better fight would be that Cotto vs. Mayweather (this would be fabulous).
