    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.

    I don't mean to criticise his whole record I mean that since his last fights since Pacquiao haven't been all too impressive.

    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.

    I understand where your coming from but I just don't think he should fight Pac again. A mayweather fight maybe but what he really needs to do is clean up his division if he goes for Floyd or Pacquiao its just gonna add a loss to his record and jeopardize his career. If he works in his division he can stay in the game for more years.

    I agree. I'm not up for a Pac rematch because Cotto was beaten quite convincingly. I wouldn't mind seeing him against Floyd just as a big payday for Cotto, even though it's about 4 years late.
