Pacquiao performance against Cotto, he just ignored weight classes.

    Boxing has weight classes for a reason, but Pacquiao defied physics against Miguel Cotto. Former Flyweight champ, a man who's best weight class physically was 126 pounds. Goes up to Welterweight and bests a man who had never been beaten without bricks. A guy who took 11 rounds of concrete from one of the biggest 147 pounders we ever saw.

    For the first few rounds Cotto was looking unreal. He was so much stronger and tougher than Pac. He walking right through Pac. Even when Pac hit him, Cotto was just too damn big. Cotto then Ruptured Pacquiaos ear drum in round 2.

    Then all of a sudden Pac landed a hard left that hurt him in the 4th. And then just olibterated Cotto until the 12th round stoppage.

    If Pacquiao had been a natural Welter I doubt Cotto even sees the 3rd round. And Cotto is a borderline great fighter.

    Insane performance from the Pacman. We may never see a destruction from a micro guy beating down a big guy like thst again.

    If Canelo was drained against Mayweather, then he isn't a real boxer. Canelo was only 23 years old when he fought Mayweather. You don't get drained at that age unless you are severely out of shape.

    145 isn't a weight class, so in that regard TS is right.

    Cotto was drained yet he weighed in at 146 the fight before the Pac one? The fight should have been at 147 but Cotto didn't look drained.

    He didn't fight like a drained fighter either. But these idiots don't care about how he actually looked, just that he weighed one pound less then his prior fight. :nut

    That 1 lb killed him, he was a walking dead man, a ghost, a shell of his former self, a scarecrow.
