    Some notes on this PAC-Cotto fight:
    - Cotto's weaknesses is PAC's strength (stamina (worries me also), southpaw (the Cotto that got wobbled against Corley is light-years behind the Cotto of today), get hit a lot (see "southpaw"))
    - catch weight of 144 lbs.(I'd have some misgivings about that also. 147 is Cotto's weight.)
    - even if Cotto get past Clottey, I think Cotto will be softened enough by Clottey...
    - PAC's speed is still the key (it might bother Cotto somewhat... but Cotto has fought fast fighters before (Judah, Mosley)
    - PAC can brag to PBF that he's fighting the boxer that PBF avoided...

    Having said that, I still think this fight won't happen since I think Clottey will upset Cotto...
    . (and obviously, we disagree here, as well)
    I agree with some... disagree with others. See above.

    I agree to disagree without thinking...

    We'll leave it as it is until this fight get signed...

    way to throw Clottey under the bus...

    I think Clottey could beat Cotto but he doesnt exist in this thread?

    If he beats Cotto then Mayweather Pacquiao next is a guarantee because there's a lot of risk but little reward in a Clottey vs Pacquiao fight

    Same here... If Clottey wins, there will be no PAC vs. Clottey fight...

    Clottey is just way too big for PAC aside from the little reward...
