if he goes JMM, Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Mayweather then we should probably sacrifice one of our posters like a goat in his honor. Maybe Plopeater? 0r that guy who would go on and on and on about Calzaghe or Hatton and had that shirtless muscle pose avatar of himself. Than God he's not around anymore.

That's one thing I am more interested to see; will Cotto get as much credit if he wins? Or will it be clouded by the fact he beat up a midgit?
Cotto will get a ton of credit from the majority of people should he beat Pacquaio. It won't happen though, he's going to take a beating.
Let's put it this way.. i was at the beach the other day w/ some friends and someone brought up Pac fighting Mayweather.. Now these guys are not "fans" really, they will watch a big fight, and they will watch anything boxing that is on ESPN or anything to that extent..

While talking about the topic, my friend said, Pac would destroy Mayweather, because Pac can' tbe beat right now.

In the casual fans eye, he just beat ODLH, who is the GOD of boxing, and Ricky Hatton, who is a brawler who got beat by a smaller man, BRUTALLY.

So, YES, Cotto will get a ton of credit if he wins this fight. The thing is, i don't think the size difference will be seen until they're in the ring, and then if Cotto wins, would people say, "well he was so much bigger than him"?
