Both Cotto and Pacquiao have never ...

I guess the definition of "outclassing" is a little vague. If you mean Cotto and Pac never gave any opponent a boxing lesson quite like Mayweather has then I understand what you mean.

However, this is where styles are made. Mayweather is the most gifted fundamental boxer. Cotto has good fundamental boxing skills with power to add. Pac has unbelievable speed, a southpaw stance, and fighter's mentality, while still improving as a more complete boxer.

 

Everytime he has won.

 

Pacuiao didn't overwhelm Ricky Hatton, because Pac wasn't the one coming forward. Hatton tried to overwhelm Pacquiao, but kept running into hooks, and eventually got put to sleep by one.

Your definition out "outclass" is a bit off, but I understand what you are trying to say...but your definition of the word doesn't apply to Cotto and Pac because of the styles they fight. Neither one of them mind taking a few shots to land their own, and neither one is a defensive wizard, so - in your eyes - it would be hard to define anything they have done out outclassing someone...

 

Dude, you need to read up on this thing called a 'dictionary'. Save yourself the embarassment.

 

I did.

Simply by beating someone in a dominant fashion you are outclassing them in my book.

To say that you have to school a fighter in textbook boxing style to outclass them is bollocks.

A fighter can only beat another with what tools he has...Some wins fight with skills, some with brute strength and durability, some with speed and athleticism.

 

You are basically saying that if you outclass an opponent to the point of stoppage, totally overwhelming them, then it isn't outclassing. Which is completely an utterly stupid.

Pacquiao has outclassed top level fighters. He outclassed Barrera close to his prime. He outclassed Ricky Hatton recently, making him look stupid with his footwork and timing, showing he was several classes above him. Any dominant win is outclassing an opponent, because to win in dominant fashion, you have to be a class above them.
