which historical fight does Pac vs Cotto best compare to?

In an interesting segment from HBO Bert Sugar said Pacquiao vs Cotto best compares to Henry Armstrong vs Barney Ross

"I sort of compare this to Barney Ross vs Henry Armstrong. A great fight, two great fighters. But it was Armstrong moving up from featherweight, who leapfrogged to Welterweight, who won."

 

Hagler-Hearns.
Lighter guy coming up who has speed and power.
However he is gonna find out he went up one too many. I expect it to go about the same except for Pac to last till the middle rounds.

 

**** i would like for the admins to move this to the classic forum pls

 

trinidad-hopkins

 

Pac is Trinidad

 

It's funny because it makes no sense.

 

Excellent comparison, remember Tito came in that fight favored after his destruction of Joppy

 

:yep

 

I haven't seen the fight yet.

 

This fight is on its own morons

Is Kobe the nxt MJ? NO Kobe is Kobe, MJ is MJ

Let Pac vs Cotto be on there own unique kind of way

 

We won't know until we see the fight. Could be a war, or could be boring. I think it will be a war though.
