    I'm not a huge SRL fan, but I give credit where it's due. At the least he could outbox Manny to a comfortable decision, and I think he could stop him if he wanted to. Bigger, just as fast, with heart and killer instinct among the best the division has ever seen. SRL is a couple classes above Cotto, simply put.

    Another way to look at it: Pac hasn't faced anyone in the same league as Hearns, Duran, or Hagler. THREE ATG's that Leonard defeated.

    I think Pacman has the tools to beat SRL.

    IT would be a close fight either way imo.

    I dont see SRL just walking though Pacman.

    Only if you tell me what that has to do with the topic we're discussing? Here's a better question, why don't you explain to the Classic why Pacquiao has done enough, in your mind, to leapfrog Sugar Ray Leonard?

    You might be changing your tune when Pac beats Mayweather.

    I belive Pac has the style, will, punch out put, and speed to relly cause problems for SRL.

    He is not going to keep Pac off of him. I am thinking Pac is closeing on Armstrong at the movement.

    Does that mean you picked Cotto, or you just don't want to answer the question?

    :lol: I never knew how good Miguel Cotto was until he was beat by Pacquiao, promoting the great Filipino into Armstrong status. Spellbinding. Unbelievable.

    We can discuss that, go and make a thread in the General about it. I'll chime in sharpish. However, for a thread that's discussing Leonard vs Pacquiao, why don't you back up what you said, and tell us why, in your mind, Manny has leapfrogged Ray Leonard. Educate me. I'm here to learn. What's your criteria? Do you put more stock in titles than names? Do you put more stock weight jumping than overall ability?
