    Splitting hairs here, but I gave 2 rounds to Cotto and 1 round to Margarito...so 3 lost rounds in several fights.

    It's not just the size that people keep referring to that makes it a harder matchup, Pac has shown time and again(and the list you've put forth proves it) it doesn't matter if you're bigger, if you're a one-dimensional fighter Pac will smoke you. Of those fighters you listed only one of them isn't slow as hell and of those fighters you mentioned only 2 aren't one dimensional (Cotto, shot-weight drained De La Hoya). Martinez is much faster than Cotto in his hands and in his feet to go along with simply being "bigger". He's also a counter-puncher. He also won't just stand in front of Pacquiao (which is more or less what the aforementioned fighters do).

    I wouldn't put a bet on that fight.

    At the end of the day, I only want Pac vs. Floyd.
