It seems nothing can stop the last fight to take place. The catch-weight is no problem while the percentage is also, as it seems, no problem. The only problem is, not all is happy.

Internet Pacland poll shows Floyd Mayweather Jr. should be the best for Pacman to fight while Cotto comes only in second.

Several boxing purist are very vocal about their preference for Sugar Shane Mosley as the best fight money wise and quality of fight wise. It is also noted that Sugar Shane brings more legacy to the fight considering he is a former pound for pound boxer and had recently beaten the current best welterweight prior to hand wrapped issue.

While others are still pushing Juan Manuel Marquez fight with the Pacman.

So the question is, " Considering this is the last fight of the Pacman, it seems according to him, and he is on the verge of swimming the waters of politics in his wife's home province, Do you think this fight is best farewell fight for Manny?"

There are so many things to consider with regards to this question and hopefully I could give some points which would give other fight fans to think about. And maybe, just maybe give some influential persons who want the best fight for Manny also something to decide upon.

There are 3 points which I consider important for Manny to decide which fighter is best for him.

Point number 1 - If this is the last fight for Manny, he should get the maximum benefits with regards to money and history or legacy.

Point number 2 - If this is the last fight of Manny, the fight fans should also has the right to see the most exciting fight there is. A fitting farewell performance which will solidify his crown as the most exciting fighter in the modern era.

Point number 3 - If this is the last fight of Manny, he should consider his health and physical condition after the fight. Which fighter will give him lesser problems with regards to factors given.

Given the three points above, it is up to you fight fans which you think will be the most important factor to consider.

As Freddie Roach once said, he considers PBF jr. the easiest fight compared to Sugar Shane and Miguel Cotto. While others says he is the most financially rewarding fight and still others, the fight with PBF Jr. will not be as exciting compared to the others.

This are just some of the thoughts about the last fight by the Pacman and surely Miguel Cotto does not have the monopoly of advantages as the best opponent and many are just not happy that the Pacman will end his boxing career this way.
