Pacquiao to face Cotto in Vegas

[donkeypunt]

Manny all the way for me. Cotto has looked good in his last few fights and think he'll be a tougher opponent than an old De La Hoya and a very poor looking Hatton.

i fancy manny but cotto is going to be the strongest physical fighter pacman has faced by a country mile.again, it`s gonna come down to speed and if manny can get in, get off and get out without taking too much he will landslide it.i would be really shocked if he could stop cotto.we can discount the margarito fight cus that cheeky bd had loaded gloves but it`s been really big hard punching full blooded welters that have wobbled cotto before

I thought he was supposed to be fighting Mayweather Jr after the Mayweather-Márquez fight?

That was the big rumour a while ago. Seems that fight will likely be early 2010 now. Unless Mayweather retires again. I'd still love to see that fight happen though.

I suspect these 2 fights are kinda like semi-finals (hopefully) leading to a Pac-man v PBF Final next year. Both can then say they've taken care of the other contenders before getting down to the serious business of counting the cash their fight will make.
