why do you need the oscar fight to know that? he fought barrera, marquez and morales in just a span of 16 months.
Fighting barrera marquez morales is very impressive, dont get me wrong. They are all extremley skilled fighters. Fighting ODLH, there was the possibility he could get hurt by a much bigger and stronger man, who Pac could have potentially been too small to even hurt
this is ******ed. pacquiao could fight a 180 cotto and it would still not be better than his win over the cotto that he beat back in 2009 when cotto was prime. today's cotto has seen too much wars and damage and is as slow as **** at 154.
This. Everybody was thinking that this is a total mismatch because Manny is way too small for Oscar. And a mismatch it really was. Only that Manny was way too good for De La Hoya.
Barrera I Cotto Morales II Hatton Marquez II (If you scored it for him) Marquez I (Which should have been scored for him officially, except judges have no idea about the rules of their own sport) Ledwaba Sasakul Also notable: De La Hoya, Barrera II, Morales III, Clottey, Margarito, Diaz, Larios, Bradley.
Wasn't Miguel Cotto having issues with trainers then? Physically he is past prime at 154 lbs but with Pedro Diaz he seems to be improved technically as a boxer and Pedro Diaz seems to be good with the tactical side of boxing also.
Cotto. The performance was stunning. Barrera I and Morales II after that. I scored the 2nd Marquez fight to Marquez, but Pac's performance in that fight was very good, Marquez was just better.
