Do you agree that Pacquiao's win over Cotto is his best win?

    Yeah, but wasn't Barrera past his best? I know Cotto was too but he had just "beaten" Clottey and won a belt at 154 AFTER the Pacquaio fight. But Cotto was the first, legit "elite" WW that Pacquaio beat. He wasn't shot or weight drained and was fighting at his best weight (DLH wasn't). I hope no one brings up the 145 limit.

    Barrera past his best? In the two years previous, he'd dismantled unbeaten Hamed and also took Morales '0' [should have in the first fight, imo].

    Barrera 1 and Cotto are the two that I didn't think he could pull off but he did in stellar fashion.

    It might not be prime Marco but he wasnt far from it he was the top feather in the world and one of the top five best pound for pound fighters in the world at the time, he was also a better fighter than Cotto and for me the better win.

    Yes, for me I was most impressed with it. I know many feel it was Barrera I, but the Cotto win was highly impressive to me personally. I think it should at least be his second best win.

    I just watched the fight again and Pacman took some flush, hard shots both upstairs and downstairs. But it's amazing how Pacman never seemed to be hurt. And just the way he dismantled Cotto after around round 4 was amazing. Cotto was not even in the same ball park once Pacman started opening up. The difference in speed was too great. Cotto didn't see the punches coming. For him to just dismantle an elite WW like that was super impressive.

    JMM 2 for me. That, to me, was his toughest fight and his best win...
