Im a big Pac fan, and I don't like any of those fights for Pac.
Pac has trouble with movers and counterpunchers. Bradley from the gate will use what he learned in the first fight and not go toe to toe at ALL with Pac in a rematch. He will get on his bike, use his core movement, and shoeshine Pac for 12 rounds in a stinker of a fight.
JMM has Pac's number. He won the last fight, thats it. At the very least even the most staunchest of "Pac beat JMM 3 times" crowd will admit that Pac can't look good against JMM anymore. The only thing that presented those flash knockdowns in the first two fights was Pac's workrate and unpredictability, but his workrate has flagged recently and his predictability has increased. JMM will continue to look better and better against Pac.
Cotto. Well he'll try to weight drain Cotto won't he? I don't see Cotto doing that to himself but maybe. But it has a feeling of been there done that, even if he knocks Cotto out, which I doubt he can. Cotto was wildly undisciplined against Pac in the first fight. In a rematch he will not allow Pac to goad him into recklessness, and he will use his jab and movement to offset Pac, much the way he rematched Marg.
I want to see Pac fight a more self explanatory type of fighter that would guarantee a firefight. Maidana, or Lopez, or Garcia.. Berto and Ortiz were on my wishlist until the roid and jaw break incidents, but basically I want Pac to look GOOD in his next outing. Pairing him with more pure boxers and counterpunchers his a promotional idiocy! I don't know what Bob Arum is thinking. He's just about ready to dump Pac I guess because he is not making moves that are best for Pac's remaining career. As a Pac fan, I find it disgusting and perverse.
