If Manny beats Mayweather then I think Manny elevates himself to one of the 10 best fighters ever and maybe the best I've seen since started watching boxing 25 years ago.

I used to think Mayweather but not anymore. Say they face December 2010. Mayweather will be a year older and past his peak while Manny is still getting better and better. That was his best performance and because he spent so much time in the Phillipeens helping out with the typhoon victims he wasn't even in his best shape (he was a bit winded from time to time). Plus Manny could now box with anyone and even if Mayweather his him clean he'll walk right through it. Even when Cotto hit him square (and Cotto has decent-very good power and was in the best shape of his life) Manny was never hurt and Manny's natural weight is a whopping 15lbs lighter.
 
I was worried that Cotto might have suffered brain damage some of those sting shots he took were wicked. The ref could have and I think should have stopped it earlier, the Pacman was getting tired through hitting him. Cotto's guts were immense but refs should move in more quickly.

Pacman against Mayweather, its the one everyone wants to see, could the Pacman drop him..............may be...............too close to call

He is at the top of his game , I grant you , but he has been beaten before . 3 times . Moreover , he's running for office in the Phillipines and this time - he ran before and came second - he'll get in .
Plus , Floyd will have been looking at this fight from when Pacquiao signed the contract with Cotto . He won't be unprepared .
I don't doubt his staying power . Nor his chin , but Mayweather is the Guv'nor . especially defensively . I just see him staying out of trouble , and as with De La Hoya , win a fight that he throws nearly a half as less blows . He's got a dig , and a chin on him , too .
Just my opinion , of course .
Can't wait though .
This is Hagler-Hearns - Leonard-Duran , ( round robin championships ) of the 2000's era .

I must admit LCAB, I thought the same as Hatton, Cotto may have been just too big for the little guy but in truth he cruised that fight, some of the punishment he gave out was immense. IMO Pacquio is the best pound for pound fighter I've seen since Roberto Duran in his early days...................do you remember when he destroyed Ken Buchannan? A Mayweather fight would be enormous and as I said earlier to close to call that said Mayweather has never been truly hurt, he would feel those lightening quick punches and they will hurt him, as for knocking him out I doubt it..................what a fight it would be though
