    I'm say this now.

    If Cotto beats Margo I can see Mayweather-Cotto happening.

    While Manny-Bradley is happening.

      lmao Berto at 6% and he's the only welterweight there. I wouldn't mind the Berto fight, I really couldn't contest it nor could I get excited about it. I'd probably want Mayweather vs Cotto more though, depending on how Cotto looks. Martinez, sure if they agree on a weight. Khan should at least debut at 147 before he's included in these polls....but I'd be all for it, assuming he looks good at 147.

          either sergio, pacquiao or retire. i dont see anyone else that would be a challenge to him. cotto would be interesting for a few rounds, but thats it. margarito is just way too fking slow.

          come to think of it, clottey could give him a few problems, but that would be a boring ass fight...

            Cotto/Margarito aside...with that mentality, who should Floyd fight? or more specifically, who wouldn't he win on paper against? you probably want him to retire then, right?

                Seems like Pac-Moneymay is far, far away or may not happen at all.

                Mayweather vs Amir Khan is more likely.

                I see fights in 2012 such as Bradley vs Ortiz, Morales-Maidana 2. But the other question is what's left for Manny if he beats Marquez and Floyd still refuse to fight him.

If he fought cotto or margarito now he would get zero credit from the critics. Everyone will say Pacquiao beat them. He'll get some credit if he moves up and beats Martinez but the only guy everyone wants to see is pacman. Take the test Manny.

                  And lets be real...Manny has power but it would get neutralized by Floyd. I think alotta boxing fans admit to themselves that Floyd would be the guy to bet on in that fight. Its no disrespect to pacquiao because i actually like him, just not as much as floyd. But my opinion is bias free, i just think the skill difference is too much. Theres not really any boxers right now that could beat floyd, i really cant think of any. There only chance is age catching up to him but he hasnt really began to show signs yet. But hes gonna be 35 in February and I dont think hes bernard hopkins. Could be wrong but i wouldnt bet on anybody still doing what he does at age 46 or even 40+. Tarver is still arite though
                  my totally unbiased oppinion, i really cant see how pacquiao could lose against floyd. either he would knock floyd out, or just outwork him.

                  so if we both claim that we are unbiased, yet have opposite predictions, i guess theres a little bias in each of us.

                  (by the way, ive probably been watching boxing as long, or longer than you have)
