    Yesterday i have an argument with a guy in saddo. I said soto is an a-class fighter coz someone here at esb said hector velasquez is a class-b fighter. No way will i put down soto with hector, i said. Besides soto fought decent competition in kelley, juarez,valle and guz. He said, no in bloody hell you ****ing idiot, that soto is a class-a fighter. So i said: ok master i humbly accept that soto is a class-b fighter, eventhough someone here at esb once mentioned velasquez is a class-b fighter.

    I'm getting confused, what is the truth? :think

    Class A fighters are usually fighters who have beaten fellow A class fighters and many more B fighters. A class fighters are ussually fighters who can be Mythically matched in any era with interest. I cant see Soto as a class A fighter. He might be a B+ at most but not a class A fighter. By the way Velasquez is more of a C+ or B- at best. Velasquez is the type of guy you put a prospect in with or he can also be the type of "stay busy " fight for the elite.

    Hector would be at best a B- kind of fighter (if we're to use this kind of grading system). Possibly even somewhere in the C range.

    Soto, I reckon, is still only a B class kind of fighter.

    A's are left for the elite. To me, anyway.

    He is a B+ fighter. I really respect PAc if he takes on Soto.
    I also think Soto is a very very live underdog. Soto is good against fighters that press the action like Manny. His great chin and reach will trouble Manny.

    I have been waiting for this fight to happen for years.

    Ill go B for atleast right now. His most notable win is vs Rocky Juarez another B level fighter which hey its a good win but it looks better on say Barreras resume when Juarez isnt even one of his best wins not even top 5.

    i say b level my a- to a range is for pacman and fighters like that i would agree with most comments and say he is a b+ fighter i saw him fight at the Mountaineer Casino Race Track and Resort in Chester, West Virginia and thought he fought well but didnt come away feeling he was a class a top notch guy

    My thoughts exactly. Soto can pull this off. Definite props to Manny for taking this fight.
    As for his class I'd say between b to b+.

    Yeah he's very comparable to Margo and it would'nt shock me if he did beat Pac.

    If that was Manny he wouldn't last that round...
