No ****in way! Manny has fought everybody when their either damaged goods or way past their primes like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley!
Funny you included Cotto as past prime when he faced Pac but most people are saying that Cotto was at his best when he faced Floyd.
Right because Cotto had 2 years to heal up after a plastered beating by Margacheato! Pac fought him right after that incident. Big difference and it shows everytime Miguel fights! But the ass-kickin Cotto got from Floyd was dam near as damaging!
If Manny would've met Shane just 2 years prior it would've been a much different fight. Manny couldn't handle by any means Shane in his prime at 135lbs. No way!
That Shane Mosley would of left Pacquaio in the middle of the ring, withering in a puddle of his own ****, via a body shot.
Cotto is NOT fast. He is a quality balanced fighter. His power is probably his greatest attribute. Speed doesn't even come to mind when you think about Cotto as a fighter.
Which is exactly why Pac refused to fight him and offered him a shot at 140. When Mosely agreed they ducked him again. Pac is smoke and mirrors.
He wasn't weight drained. He had more recovery time. Pac is such a fraud that he ONLY fights dangerous fighters with catchweights.
Mosley could beat PAC all day long. Yesterday and today. I believe that Mosley was paid to lose to PAC. Mosley didn't even try to win. He appeared to only want to go the distance.
