Cotto vs Paquiao

Margo, cotto, clottey, quintana, williams (if he's still a ww)
mosley and berto i'm not sure, but it would be interesting.

i'm not a hater of pac or anything like that, but i think that he did what rjj did at hw against ruiz(fight an average boxer at a higher weight), the only diference is that ruiz at least held a belt.

 

thanks for the input. btw, ring has him rank #5 after margo, cotto, shane and clottey.

 

i forgot berto. i am also not sure if pac can take him. not seen enough of him but i feel he still has lots to improve before he can be levelled with the top 3 welters.

pac really is still a question mark at this weight for those who were not really convinced since they feel that pac defeated a weight-drained (some say shot) hoya at 147. but since pac would only stay at 140, we would have to speculate about these matchups at 147. the only fight i feel pac could go up at 147 again is probably against floyd which is a megafight.

 

He loses one fight and all of a sudden he has no chin and no defense? You are the joke! :good

I see Pac going down with hard pressure from the PR machine. See Zab Judah for details

 

Jones would have had a lot of problems with Lennox Lewis, especially if Lennox landed on his chin. I don't think Jones could have taken Heavyweight shots to the chin very well.

 

I think there's too much speculation about Pacquiao at WW, far more than is worth.

 

Cotto is probably too much for Pac. Cotto has the boxing skills to cut off the ring and make Pac miss. He can also hurt Pac to the body and head.

 

It should be at a catchweight bet 140 and 147. Pac by KO...

 

actually, i don't want to see this fight coz they are my two favorite fighters and don't want to see them destroying each other. yeah i agree, that this should be at catchweight to be more fair to pac but i doubt if cotto still can do it. he has bulked-up too much now.

 

Pacquiao has better footwork and is more elusive, he's approach should be similar to Hoya. It would be a good fight, Pacquiao has underrated power. However i think Cotto would probably brutally knock him out.

 

By reading through this thread I gained a much better understanding of the oft coined ESB term "*******."

 

Cotto by KO. Here i think size does matter, as cotto will use it to his advantage unlike de la hoya

 

you must've forgot Corley and Judah and Torres and everybody else he fought

 

Voldamort?

 

When was Pacquiao declared the "Boxer of the Year" for 2008?
