    5′ 6½, no big difference. in reach cotto and pacquiao are even listed as equal with 67 reach.

    If Manny lands the lead left (floyd has problems with left jabs) than floyd will be in more trouble than just bleeding from the nose.

    pacquiao not so much, he just punches harder, punches more and has the energy to throw bombs non stop 12 rounds....=)

    it wasnt his age which made floyd bleed, it was just cotto being cotto. castillo took prime floyd also out of his comfortzone, just because prime castillo was an very good boxer.

    this is the problem, floyd surely looked great in his career, just by being himself, an good fighter, but he also looked very good, because he avoided a lot of very good boxers.

    back in 2001 when floyd was weighing 130 pounds with good boxers around, why wasn't he fighting undefeated

    , when freitas was at the same weight knocking everybody out?
    where was he when

    was also undefeated and in the same division?

    where was floyd in 2004 when he weight at 140 pounds, the exact same weight as 140 pounder at that time

    , which wouldve been the biggest fight at that weight in that time!

    later obviously avoiding

    and now

    .

    all I am saying is, it's an difference between fighting guys much smaller than you like hatton or marquez, than guys as tall than you and in their respective best shape available. that was the case in cotto, who was physicly as big, even bigger than floyd and even so no prime, still in an tremendous shape.

    I'd favor Cotto at 154 over Pac. And Floyd was a ww in the ring. So IF you still want to apply a triangle theory Floyd still wins.

    I would favor floyd to vs pacquiao, not hugily, but floyd should win, still, cotto doesnt win vs pac at 154 and pacquiao besides martinez is the best fight possible 154 and pacquiao has an chance, thats for sure.

    If you think manny beats floyd then your a ******. Floyds a master at stepping on southpaws feet.

    hahaha damn boy, you so dumb seriously, like pac had 0 chances vs floyd. if pac can put down iron chinned mosley was one punch, than he can put down floyd with one. cotto won like 3-5 rounds, some were close, some were even in my eyes. pacquiao has more power and 100 % an higher energy and speed level than cotto and would make it very competitive.

    We keep on pushing on that subject but I will try to concentrate just on Floyd in my short post: You cannot expect a fighter who has been working so hard in the Gym and on the road for so long to simply vanish. He is in there to stay and he hit the spotlight fair and square after the ODLH fight. Happens that he he relied too much on saving himself and that should not be a fighter's mentality ( even though my favourite fighter Hopkins also saves himself and his greatest advantage is boxing IQ and defense). I believe Floyd is coming a lil bit late with this new mentality cause he himself acknowledges there's no one else that important to fight whether those words are true or not. Fact of the matter was that it was a good business manoeuvre to get in there with Cotto with all the supporters and Pricans pushing for him, that generated millions even if Cotto was the one to take the fight to Floyd, this time around Floyd took it and answered right back in his own terms. Boxing needs these fights or else it's going to decay to other fighting sports. Floyd is not holding the flag for boxing but the number of his fans and haters that expect him to win or lose simply make boxing come alive when he decides to fight. The same could be said of Pacquiao even though he is more loved than hated really but that is just fighters showing on the outside to the media and acting, Floyd can even be a better person than Manny bottom line.

    even if youre a fan of floyd, you should put some logical sense in it, which means both are so good, that both can beat each other.

    Lol dude I was joking. I also feel pac has a good chance to win, however my favoured outcome at the moment is that floyd does well early on but pac turns it up in the middle rounds and gives him a lot of trouble, but ad the fight goesmon mayweather starts to land bigger cleaner shots and stops manny late on. And don't ever call me a tdubb :nono
