People really want to see this fight? Joking right? I don't want this fight at any weight. Why? Because we already seen what happened. Even if this fight was at 150, all people would be saying is he's taking another easy fight. Now, everyone is clamoring for a fight at 150? LMAO. It's either Mayweather or bust
Cotto might ask for 20Mills Guarantee for a PAc Fight at 147

Okay, I'm gonna' be frank for a second here. Miguel, based on his thorough ass-kicking at the hands of Pacquiao, shouldn't be mentioned in the likes of Pacquiao as a potential opponent. After all, he was one of many opponents on the thrashing end of Pacquiao's incredible hot streak from mid 2008 to late 2010. However, you COULD (COULD) make the argument he had the "best" performance among those who failed (between Diaz, DLH, Hatton, Clottey, Margarito). Yes, he got his ass kicked from pillar to post but he whenever he boxed, he would have success against Pacquiao.
These are facts what I'm about to state, not opinions:
Cotto won the first round on all judges' scorecards.
Cotto fought so well after the knockdown during the third round, that TWO judges gave that round to Pacquiao 10-9 (impressive considering Pacquiao scored a knockdown)
Cotto won the 10th round on TWO of the judges' scorecards (consider that this was VERY late in the fight and by then Cotto's wife had left because of the beating he was taking in 8th and 9th rounds.) He somehow managed to box Pacquiao successfully despite how badly, badly he was beaten up by then.
I don't know where all this Cotto-Pacquiao II talk is coming from, but if it happens, it needs to happen at 154. I've been saying it since before it started to catch on; COTTO CANNOT GO TO 147. When he was fighting Mayorga, people were saying: "Cotto needs to move back down." He can't. I'm positive he was having some difficulties getting down to 147, tht 145 catchweight was the final straw. He said, "Nah...I'm goin' to 154."
To ask him to go down to 147 after fighting at 154 for TWO years is bull. If he were a gym rat, that'd be ok but Cotto isn't. He likes to knock back a few drinks and balloon in weight sort of like Hatton (though not as much). If Cotto is ABLE to make 147, he will be a DEAD MAN walking.Comment
