    I think cotto might be done, and definitely do not want to see that fight again.

      If I was Cotto I'd opt for Floyd. We all seen what happens when Cotto is pressured relentlessly especially in championship rounds, it would be interesting to see what happens when he faces a pure boxer/counter-puncher.

      BTW, I am a Cotto fan I just want to see what he would have left against someone who doesn't exhibit those volume punching pressure fighting traits at this point in his career.

      Anyone else just as curious as me?

        I'd fight Floyd.

        If I was Cotto, I wouldn't even consider a Pacquiao fight unless he fights a fair one. No catchweight. Fuck a drug test, although it is smart to have him take one but still. Just the catchweight alone. I wouldn't fight Pacquiao unless it's on even ground, none of this advantages before getting in the ring bullshit that Pacquiao's camp tries to enforce.

        Nothing under 154. So, Floyd it is.

          Naw, Floyd is a brilliant technician and has excellant defense. Not much punching power, but after a couple rounds would time Cotto and counter the **** out of him and pot shot him to a comfortable decision.

                I would fight Floyd. Fighting Pac probably means signing a contract with the devil again, which means no Floyd in the future. So I'd go for Floyd now, while he's still physically able.

                    If I were Cotto, I'd fight Floyd and possibly make more money than I received in my previous bout combined. I'd use the same formula Floyd uses when promoting his fights and pay TR or GBP to promote fights at a stipulated fee without signing any promotional contract. Both TR and GBP would have to make bids in order for me (Cotto) to use there services. I might even have a sit down with Al Haymon to see what he has to offer.

                      If im Cotto i would fight Manny and try to avenge my loss. If he beats manny a Huge payday awaits against Floyd. If im Cotto I would not settle for a 147 weight against Manny, but I wouldnt be shocked if Manny demanded a 147 take or leave it fight. Cotto would be forced to take it.
