    What do you guys think of this fight? Is Cotto to big for JMM?
    And why do al lot of people pick Pac over Cotto after that win over ''hitman'' Hatton?

    dude...if people are giving Floyd hell for fighting JMM, then why the hell would Cotto vs. JMM be any better? this is an absolute no-no.

    First Question: I don't think about this fight.
    Second Question: Because they are blinded by science.

    What if Cotto wins in june and JMM KO's PBF, why would you not give this fight a chance?
    Pac isn't that great, he is just lucky he got the decision over JMM the second fight.
    The fight with hatton, it wasn't pac that was great, but it was Hatton that was very very bad.
    I don't see Pac win over Cotto, Cotto is a very good counter-puncher and a very very good technical fighter. Pac just doesn't has the skills to beat Cotto.

    Dont agree with you there bud. Pac's got the skills to beat pretty much anyone. If he's got the skills to push JMM all the way he's got the skills to beat Cotto

    **** man just thinkin about that fight gives me rushes

    Pac's a naturally bigger dude than JMM. JMM Cotto would be unfair

    If Cotto would TKO/KO marquez in the fight, what do you think he would do with Pac.

    If cotto can match pac with speed, the fight would be a easy fight for Cotto, because his skills are far better than Pac.
    Cotto is a well rounded fighter, he can pressure, he can box(outbox), he has good power.
    Pac is just a fighter who has good movement, good footwork and his defense isn't great but his great left hand is a big factor in any fight

    Cotto is not bothered by speed. Just look at the Mosley and Judah fights. Cotto is bothered by relentless pressure and crazy angled punches. Look at how bad he was shaken up against Margarito and Torres. If Pac can apply enough pressure to tire Cotto he can KO him in the later rounds.

    How about Finito Lopez vs Mike Tyson head to head. Mike Tyson was a small Heavyweight anyways and Finito was a fairly large minimumweight fighter.

    give the man a lil credit, he beat a man that never lost at 140. and maybe hatton look very very bad because he was fighting pac. you can make that excuse for just about any fight. paulie lost to hatton, it wasn't hatton that was great, but it was paulie that was very very bad


    u can say the same for margo but he beat his ass, maybe illegally(loaded hands) but who knows

    Marquez isn't a 147 fighter. He's a 130 fighter that's done great things at 135 chasing Pacquiao.

    if marquez goes punch for punch like he did against diaz, cotto would knock him out in 6

    :patsch Pac is number 1 pound for pound in the world. You can't be # 1 and not have the skills to beat the top fighters. MAb-Morales-Marquez are all great boxers and have better skills than cotto.
