    Stylistically MAB and Cotto were all right for Pacquiao.

    Marquez being a power punching counter fighter was a matched from hell as regards to Pacquiao. Anytime you can go 50/50 with a guy like that who has the perfect style to best you is something else.

    I will say that Marquez is rather slow of hand and feet for an elite topch notch FW. But that didn't matter too much against Pac. Because Pac isn't bothered by speed. He's bothered by counter punchers and guys who can hit hard. Speed is pretty overrated anyways. Certainty the most overrated of the 4 main attributes of power, speed, stamina and chin.

    The fastest man he ever fought was Lehlo Ledwaba. And Pacquiao beat him like drum.

    Barrera and is not even close! Barrera was top 3 p4p when at that time boxing was hot and had a lot of big names, Cotto was just coming in from a Margarito beat down and is not on the level of Barrera

    People know that. They just never expected a former Flyweight champ to stop Cotto.

    Pacquiao has proven to destroy left hand reliant fighters like MAB.
    MAB couldn't get Pacquiao off of him with just the jab and hook. You need the right down the pike to halt Pacuiao's aggression. DLH, Hatton, Cotto, all fighters reliant on left jabs or hooks, Pacquiao demolished the same way.
    Marquez and Morales who both crack with the right, he couldn't impose himself the same way.

    The last two Morales fights you have to take into account that Morales was bone dry and weak heading into both those fights. He just didn't belong in that weight class anymore and thus he didn't have the strength to keep Pacquiao off of him.

    Marquez faced the same Pacquiao in fight 1 that MAB did, only difference is that Marq

    This for me also comes very close to Pac's greatest performance simply because of the size difference it was crazy

    Cotto who is bigger then Pac even in the rematch(after Pac beat him up) still respected Margo and outboxed he never dared to try and knock him out.

    What made this performance so special is I have yet seen someone in the lower weight classes with the big size difference here try to force the stoppage.

    Only in a movie this can happen..... a former fight weight not just beating a guy this big and strong BUT walking him down trying to force a stoppage over margo who came in nearly at 170 on fight night.
