    I talk about what I see and in both fights if you look at the fights and take away the knockdowns Pacquiao would of lost

    I mean how can you knock someone down 3 times and still draw, doesn't that tell you something???

    He got outboxed in the majority of both fights, and I did not say between rounds 7 to 12 but I said in the majority of both of the fights as the scorecards will tell you.

    I mean even in the second fight he scored one knockdown and still won by a hair pin.

    Mayweather beats him, Cotto beats him, Mosley beats him
    Pac should be fighting 140 fighters but if he wants to be great then he should fight those guys at 147

    c'mon man.... i'm talking about class, ability and skill here. you can't compare an unknown torres to a certified p4p elite and ATG like pac. that is simply ludicrous. and pac is not wild anymore. he is more calculated now having developed to a more refined boxer-puncher. boxers/fighters may have similar styles but they hugely differ in class, ability and skill. that's why there are such a thing as A, B, C, etc. level fighters in boxing.

    and i say that pac has a good chance vs. cotto despite the big size difference. pac is superior in class, ability and skill compared to cotto. that's why the guy is a p4p elite and already an ATG while cotto is elite/borderline-elite. the difference in class may already be enough to offset the 11-12 lb size difference, coupled with cotto not being the same fighter anymore post-margo.

    size matter in boxing...Hoya was shot when he fought Pacquiao..I am a huge Pacquiao advocate but lets be real size will matter in this fight....this fight will be closer than many think and Cotto's power might be the difference...

    At 143 pounds, Pac would lose to Mosley and Mayweather, but not Cotto.

    Cotto is a cut below the other two. Whether he was a cut below them a few years ago is another matter of debate, but right now, Mosley and Mayweather are both better than Cotto.

    Physically, mentally, and skillwise, Mosley and Mayweather are simply superior to Cotto.

    If Pac hit Cotto on the same sweet spot he hit Hatton it's night night.
    The placement of that punch was as good as it gets.

    Yeah, a razor thin win that was highly debatable, but that doesn't change the fact that SINCE that time, Mosley has looked outstanding and Cotto has looked like a shell of his former self.

    There is no denying the fact that Mosley is currently the top dog amongst welterweights.

    I'm a big Cotto fan and to be kind his performance last nite was unimpressive. His trainer gave him good instructions and Cotto failed to execute resulting in a close fight. Clottey by comparison was even less impressive. Clottey had his man hurt from the 3rd round on ffs and couldnt finish him. In retrospect this fight really failed to live up to expectations.
