Let me see....... One opponent was getting knocked out by his sparring partners with full head gear... One opponent was at his comfortable weight and the other was a walking zombie... Its a tough one this..... For ward to have same " lvl" win as Pac's cotto. He would have to go and fight Hook at 200lb. Not drag zombie glass chad to 168lb in jokeland. Ridiculous quest..
To be fair. Ward was also defending his titles against Dawson, who sought him out at 168. Arum had Cotto come down and also put his title on the line for Pac to win. That is a staged scenario IMO.
Dawson. Although Cotto wasn't as drained, he was coming off a one sided beat down via Magarito and had the worse trainer of all time.
haha, no question for me. p4p wise, Cotto is better than dawson, and also was in better condition on fight night. I never rated dawson, and he also looked similar to de la hoya against pac. a complete zombie who couldnt pull the trigger.
ward dawson. cotto never had a chance vs the speedy pacquiao after being beaten by the slower margarito
Not even Close, Dawson was a weight drained waiting to be KO'd Cotto came down 1 pound from his last fight, Dawson came down 7, Cotto wasn't a big WW anyway, Dawson was a big LH
