I think Pac could maybe beat Cotto, but I draw the line at Mosley.

    He beats Cotto 7 times out of 10.

    Too fast.

    And he WILL catch Cotto at some point. Just a matter of when. And when he does, the fight will change drastically. So will ESB.

    I'd favour both mosely and cotto to win but i wouldn't want to bet on it. Cotto has a good enough jab to negate some of pacquaio speed and i fell he can box well enough to take advantage of some of the little errors that pac makes like JMM was able to. He doesn't need to get in and on top of pacquaio and go into his destructive path to win the fight much like hatton did, cotto can stick to the outside for the most part and beat manny IMO

    Surely sooner or later pacquaio has to hit his glass ceiling weight class wise where the true top liners will beat him, i still think there has to be some question marks on whether manny can take a prime big welterweights punches

    Pac has the speed advantage over Shane, but it is definitely not enough of an advantage to compensate for the power disadvantage and the fact that Shane has a chin. A serious chin. Plus Pac doesn't really have much of a skill advantage ove Shane.

    Shane is no Ricky Hatton. In fact, Shane would make light work of Hatton the same way Pac did.

    I think Lac would outbox shane to a UD to be honest, especially at a catchweight

    Minus the bull**** referee intervention after Cotto was rocked, this is definitely true. Plus, the current Shane Mosely would beat the current Cotto to death.

    Mosely is a highly skilled brawler and one of the sturdiest guys in boxing. In many respects he's a bigger version of Pac. I would not expect him to win this fight. In fact I would make him a massive underdog. But that being said he would still be much faster then him so perhaps he could use that to his advantage. But frankly I think the onle guys that are going to trouble PAc are Winky Wright type fighters. For Floyd's sake I hope he can realise this....otherwise he's ****ed.

    Watch the fight, my friend. Shane had Cotto doing the Judah chicken dance. Then out of nowhere the referee comes in to stop the action to clean up some spit or something...

    Not true. Shane stopped his attack and motioned the referee towards the wet spot himself.

    If Cotto was doing the "Judah chicken dance" I highly doubt a wet spot would have kept him from going in for the finish.

    He's right....n/m I misread. I thought you meant Zab had cotto doing a chicken dance, and he did stun cotto for a second.

    It was a nice hit, but most certainly not rocked.
