    This version of pac ate a lot of punches, and a great deal of jab and straight shots.

    Also that version of Cotto can only sustain the level of attack for 5 rounds.

    I don't rate thier wins against Cotto that high... In fact I was surprised Cotto put up a fight against Mayweather seens he was already done.

    He actually came back when pac was fighting cotto lol. He retired just after beating hatton in december and manny had just beat barrera in october i believe at 130.. so in actually fact it was the opposite.. he retired when manny wasn't even close to his weight class and came back when manny was a 'threat' to him......

    Floyd could've never beaten DLH, Cotto, Margarito like Pacquiao did, NEVER. He barely beat DLH, struggled vs Cotto and wouldn't have hurt Marg in the slightest. Pacquiao at his best OVERWHELMS greats in ways Floyd can't and never will. On the flip side, Pac at his worst is worse than Floyd, this is why Floyd has a chance. Pacquiao can be reckless.

    Mark my words. If Pacquaio brings his best and Floyd brings his best..Floyd has little chance. Pac's best beats Floyd's best any day of the week. Now... what makes it interesting is Pacquiao's unpredictability, will he be reckless and give Floyd chances? will be bring his best? These are the big questions but this fight is on Manny's hands, not Floyd's. Floyd cannot match Manny's skills if they are both at their very best... Just look at what Manny has done at his best vs what Floyd has done at his best; Manny has been much more impressive. IRREFUTABLE.

    The 4 mutual opponents shows the story

    1. DLH, Pac annihilated him; Floyd barely win
    2. Cotto, Pac annihilated him, Floyd struggled
    3. Hatton, Pac put him to sleep in 2nd round, Floyd took 10 rounds
    4. JMM. Floyd outboxed him, Pac struggled.


    So, the above shows it's all Pac, will he be the reckless boxer that fought JMM or will he the machine that destroyed the other 3? We will know May 2nd.

    Poor Pacquiao fans. Life was so great when Floyd was scared and now it's come to this. Excuse threads and denial that Roach even admitted they ducked the first round of negotiations. I can play this as well. Roach and manny saw Floyd make JMM a tune up and they wanted none. Not even 50/50 with a 14 day cutoff.

    :deal

    Except, I don't blame Manny. Manny is a great, great fighter, but when it comes to politics (national or boxing) he is an obvious pawn. Doesn't make him a bad person, just is what it is, no big deal to me honestly. It's cute when I hear people say, "Manny is fighting for a cause"... I wonder if they **** propaganda too or they just eat it up.

    The single most responsible party for not having Floyd-Manny being made sooner is Bob Arum. Any unbiased source should come to that conclusion. Anything else is just noise / propaganda.

    I was thinking why is Ivan Calderon sitting on Mrs Cotto's lap?
