    Cotto will beat Manny first of all and we will all see that Manny doesn't belong at 147.

    I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking Pacman will struggle against Cotto.

    I think not only is Cotto naturaly bigger, but he's stacked out with it. Unlike the previous bigger opponents Manny has faced.

    If he does beat Cotto then he will shoot up in my opinions. I don't give him much for the Hatton or Oscar wins. Both fighters clearly had preperation issues going into the fight.

    And I think if Mayweather did meet Pacman, Mayweather would be too slippery for him. No one seems to be able to hit him often and cleanly and I think he'd have too much for Manny. Although because I can't stand the guy I'd love to see him lose! (Mayweather that is)

    Cotto seems to have been getting sliced open easily as of late and I think those quick jarring shots from Pac will reopen or create a new cut.There is too much scar tissue around Cotto's eyes not to get sliced open. I believe this fight will be stopped on cuts in favor of Pac.

    The fight isn't at 147 tho correct? Forgive me if i'm wrong.

    And if Cotto wins, thats cool too. But a Cotto/Mayweather fights WILL NOT have the same hype as a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight. If Pacquiao wins, every boxing fan will want this match to prove boxing is still a thriving sport. It has the potential to be the biggest fight in recent history if marketed right.

    I think so too it would in my mind it would set every PPV record and probably hold up for a long ass time.

    It's becoming obvious to me that even if Manny loses to Cotto, a fight will be made with Mayweather. To Cotto fans (and to Cotto) this is not right. Obviously if Manny wins, then the hype for a Mayweather fight will be great and probably set a PPV record. But everything goes down a notch if Manny loses and the fight is still made. If this fight happens with a Manny loss, then writers/fans from all over the world should protest. Cotto deserves it with a win.

    Some fans are really looking forward for the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather showdown. but before that one, Pacquiao must face first Miguel Cotto this November.

    Just a thought, for sure a problem of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather bout if ever is the money matters.

    Nonsense! As of right now Pacquiao has had no weight limitations. This fight will be tough but the weight will be no problem. Winner Pacquiao in a battle for the ages!

    I guess, I am one of the people who keep thinking ahead. I want to see Pacman and Floyd meet in the ring. Although, it is true that Cotto will give Pacman a hardtime on their upcoming fight, but really people want to see is the Pacquiao-Mayweather head-on. So, lets just hope that there will be Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown. The sooner the better!
