The proposed mega-fight between pound-for-pound champ Manny Pacquiao and WBO Welterweight Champion, Miguel Cotto is getting intense. Many in the boxing community are scratching their heads over a matchup featuring a natural Junior-Lightweight and a fighter believed to have seen his better days.
If the proposed Cotto-Pacquiao fight were to come off as expected, it will happen because of tremendous concessions extracted from Cotto's side. Aside from a deeply-insulting 65/35 purse split in Manny's favor, Cotto will probably have to weigh in at no more than 145 lbs., his lightest weight since his WBO super-lightweight title defense victory over Paulie Malinaggi in 2006.
