Team Pac = Biggest snake-oil sellers in boxing. Yet people lap it up! Amazing. I don't know whether Cotto deserves this fight or not..I like him but just like MM the only fights people should be truly satisfied with is if he faces Floyd or Martinez

Id pay to watch him fight JMM.

Cotto versus Mayweather intrigues because it's a fight I wanted to see a few years ago that never materialized. I have less interest in Cotto versus Pacquiao because we have already seen it. I would prefer Pacquiao versus Bradley or Pacquiao versus Peterson. Cotto verusus JMM does not work because JMM is not big enough. Remember Cotto is the top-ranked junior middleweight and JMM holds a lightweight belt. Cotto versus Canelos is THE fight at 154.

He more than deserves the fights. If we start criticising fighters records like that then no one deserves any thing because there's always excuses to make.

Cotto does not deserve to fight Pac as Manny soundly beat him after a competitive start to the fight. Yes Cotto was weight drained but he agreed to it and I do not think it was a factor in the fight as it ended up a one sided beating. Why is Manny going over old ground where he has nothing to prove.
The only competitive angle to the fight is if it was at 154lb which gives Cotto a chance to win. If it is at any other weight then it is just a money making exercise. Cotto should concentrate on cleaning up the division and Manny should concentrate on Floyd or Marquez.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

The same can be said about Pacquiao from Marquez 2nd fight until their recent 3rd fight or about Mayweather since fighting Castillo. I have seen both records being criticised on here, does that mean they shouldn't be the top 2 fighters in the sport? absolutely not, because they are and so is Cotto. Before he beat Margarito alot of people, including me, thought Margarito just has the style to beat Cotto and would win their 2nd fight. Even though I wanted Cotto to win I thought marg would have his number. Now that Cotto got the win he is being criticised for beating a handicapped Margarito. There will always be an excuse. I'm not pointing a finger at you, I'm just saying in general people will always come up with an excuse.
Cotto is nearing the end of his career and he wants to go for the money and you can't blame him, he never avoided anyone. So I think he deserves a big money fight against Mayweather and call it a day.

Agree completely that Cotto-Canelo is the fight at 154 -- and the best possible Cotto fight out there at any weight. I would much rather watch that than a Cotto-Manny repeat or Cotto-Floyd.
But I think more likely, we get Manny-Bradley and Floyd-Canelo. And then I have no idea what happens with Cotto. None of the other potential fights are big money for him. JMM at 147 is probably the biggest and I think could still be good despite the size differential.
