    Which Pacquiao opponent was better?

    I've got Cotto stopping Thurman to the body.

    In fact I go with prime Cotto over everyone today at 147.

    2009 Cotto would lay waste to the division today.

    Cotto destroys Thurman’s body. He was one of the best body punchers in his prime.

    Cotto by stoppage.

    Cotto was too dedicated of a body puncher, and had too good of a jab. I like Thurman a lot but think Cotto would've pounded away at him. Thurman didn't have the right style to beat him, I don't think Cotto stops him but he slows him down enough to win a clear decision.

    Cotto is all wrong for any version of Thurman especially the 19’ one. Thurman would receive a sustained beating.

    Even a prime Thurman would get KO'd by a vicious hook to the body by Cotto.

    I used to think Thurman all day, but Cotto would beat this post two year vacation Thurman.

    No Cotto wouldn't beat everyone at 147 today. He'd lose to Crawford, Spence, Ennis, probably lose to Porter as well. Cotto never had a 12 round gas tank against pressure. Spence and Porter would wear him down by the last third of the fight, and Spence would probably KO him. Crawford would outbox him easy, and maybe stop him late. Ennis would just beat his arse.

    Prob.

    Interesting to see who Cotto won his titles against. It's not a list of killers.
