As for Cotto, if he stops Pacquiao it'll be an impressive victory, but I think it will (unfairly) be considered somehow less impressive than if Pacquiao stopped him, even though Pacquiao is the favorite. I'm not sure that last sentence makes sense to anyone but me. As for Cotto - Mayweather, much like Pacquiao, I can't foresee Cotto doing anything in this fight to convince me he could beat Mayweather, though I also think that Mayweather - Cotto could potentially be a more competitive fight than Mayweather - Pacquaio.
I agree with everything except for Cotto presenting Mayweather more of a problem than Pacquiao would.

I think Mayweather beats both, but Pacquiaos speed and angles would give him more problems than anything Cotto could show him

If pacquiao wins i'd like to see him snub a mayweather fight because he won't need it for his legacy and I dont think he has much of a chance to defeat mayweather anyways... unless something really drastic happens. If Mayweather doesnt get Pacquiao he wont even be able to claim he was the best of his generation .
