    2 different style and 2 different fights. I believe Pacquao could handle someone like Marg easier than Cotto because of his speed but that don't mean he can beat Cotto, who's eons better than Marg will ever be.

    When I say even . . . Cotto couldn't outweight Pac by more thn 10 pounds at fight time since there's not much height disparity they'll be at even grounds.

    My opinion is . . . Cotto will out power Pac at 147 but at a catch weight Pac wins by decission.

    Now tell me what's your problem with that. :cool:

    MANNY will not just walk over Cotto.. he'll actually run over cotto! :lol:

    Just kidding buddy! In that case, you'll surely give PAC 100% credit if he beats cotto. No problem will also give Cotto 100% if he beats PAC! :good

    Ok, so that means nobody can bring up Cotto being to big for him either.

    If you are certain that at a catch weight Pac wins then they are not fighting at even grounds, because you are bringing down Cotto in weight at the point that he will lose the fight... how come you can call that even grounds if you have no doubts that Pac will win the fight.

    Let me ask you a couple of questions, maybe this way you will understand my point.

    1- At what weight you think the fight will be a draw or there is chance to be a draw? With this I mean a very difficult fight to predict or score. Basically you and I and many others will think that the fight can go either way...

    2- If you were Cotto, what would be the minimum weight you would fight Pac at and still have a good chance to win the fight.... a weight were you will be sure you won't lose the fight...

    I did. Did you really understand what he was trying to say? "About even" mean approximately even. Meaning they're close to each other. That means one of them will eventually win. Is that cleary now?

    too fast, too furious (activity and stamina), too accurate, too good.... but with size/strength, the other guy will always have a chance.

    Nah! he's not superman! but his opponents feels like he's superman when they are in the ring! :lol: just kidding buddy!!!!

    As a pac fan, i believe mosley is the most dangerous fight for pac if he would choose among the three fighters - Mosley, PBF and Cotto.

    Pac will be much faster - but Cotto can't be counted out. He will always have that punchers chance. I saw Pac get stunned/hurt by some small guys like Morales and Marquez. Imagine if Cotto lands a big shot - he may rip Pac's head off. So Pac has some advantages, but don't count Cotto out. I'm afraid he could seriously hurt Pac if he connects a big one.
