I see it being JMM at 135 if he loses to Cotto. I don't see him staying around 147 if he does lose.

Khan v Pac Man.
It's been offered before and Khan said no. If he loses to Cotto then he'll take the fight.
Or Clottey...that bloke will take anyone who'll step in the ring with him!
Clottey's fighting at 154 against Quintana (at least until Quintana backs out again) I really don't think Roach would put PAC in with such a durable opponent that doesn't fill the seats at his fights. Nothing against Clottey, he gives an honest effort, even if it's not reflected on the scorecards. But the risk/reward for PAC/Clottey isn't there.
I dont think so, Roach already said that he wouldnt fight mosley at 147 and that Mosley would have to drop weight. So he wouldnt let Pac fight an elite fighter at 154, and if its not an elite fighter than its gonna be a weak pay day, and I think their more concerned with pay day than they are at beating an average fighter that holds one of the 100 belts in a division just to put another feather in their cap.
Another example of thinking ahead for Manny fans. I don't think Manny would ever fight at 154. If so, he will probably start that catch weight shit again. The fact that Manny wanted a catch weight for Cotto clearly shows his concern for Cotto's size and strength. If I am Cotto, I let Manny come to me as opposed to chase him around the ring a la Hatton (although I've seen Ricky Hatton-he's no Miguel Cotto).
