Was Pacquiao's win over-rated?

I'm not discreditting him for any win, I'm just saying it wasn't flawless, and maybe a more confident, better prepared fighter would have picked him off.

Yeah whose that?

Brittle hands Mayweather who only came back to the sport because he needs money.

Please bring on any fighter, I'll gladly enjoy denouncing each of them.

Yeah it was definitely overrated!!!!!!!!!
Everyone says it was great, but in actuality it was a ****!!!!!!!!!!
Cotto got raped!!!!!!!!!!
Took such a beating from corner to corner, tasted the canvas a few times, even Margo beating was less brutal!!!!!!!!!
yep, it was totally overrated!!!!!!!!

I thought his post was pretty good and makes sense. People are getting carried away here with the Pacman win. It is a good solid win, but some people are acting like he beat Mosley. Cotto was more like the number 4 welterweight in the world. Yes he was champ and I give him credit, but Margarito gave him a big beating a year and a half ago, and Mosley beat Margarito.

Cotto beat Mosely? He fought all the top Welterweights out there, Clottey, Margharito, Mosely the list goes on.

Cotto is a TOP WW who lost to an All time great.

Nope, great win. (Best yet, IMO)
Pacquiao dismantled Cotto.
(His style/will beat Cotto's)

Pacquiao looked almost invincible. Yeah he got caught good a couple of times but that's what happens. I have no idea why people talk about stuff like that so often. Some of my favourite fighters of all-time, such as Marvin Hagler and Larry Holmes for example, took a lot of shots every fight. You get hit, big deal.

what a dumb ass, in the title "over-rated" ... in the text not so brave "over-estimated"

Does anyone else think that Pac's win has been a bit over-estimated? I mean, he destroyed Cotto and did very, very well. However, his defence was pretty poor, he let himself open a bit, and with Cotto being damaged goods, a better fighter would have opened him up. Maybe someone with loads of confidence and in terrific form like Mosley or even someone with the precision to open up the slightest gap like Floyd would have capitalised.

Pac did enough to beat Cotto and make it look flashy but it certainly was not a flawless victory, and anyone who's saying that he'd walk all over Mayweather needs to look past the result.

P.S Cotto/Hatton anyone?

Sorry Pac fans, Cotto was shot. He still has not beaten a top 20 fighter in any division

Hatton at 140.

As much as it pains me to remind you - The lineal champ who beat your namesake.

Cotto was a top 5 welter.

That's his last two fights alone.

Marginally over rated. Fair play to Pacquiao I thought he would get beat, so the fights weren't "gimmes" by any stretch of the imagination- however the catch weight was in his favour. There have been concerns over Cotto recently- despite his wins- much the same as there were over Jermaine Taylor when he was beating Ouma and Spinks, the signs were there that he was past his best. They picked Cotto at a ood time. I would be more impressed if he beat Moseley at 147.

No, you cannot brawl against a guy that can take your punch (Pacquiao answered that question) and hit you at least two times before you even connect once. Cotto should've just boxed behind his jab which was effective in the early rounds. He managed to trap Pacquiao in the corner but failed to capitalize. Pacquiao was susceptible to uppercuts while in those corners and if you snap the head back with an uppercut, BAM, left hook to the head or body but Cotto did not do this.

Pacquiao can be outboxed as evidenced by the JMM fights and early rounds of the Cotto fight.

Problem is, Cotto's strength and capacity to physically dominate Pac was his greatest suppossed asset and chance going into the fight. . .once I saw he didn't have that supposed advantage well I wrote him off.

YOu still cling to image of Pac in the JMM fight. Amazing how you assess a fighter using ancient history.

Pac is underrated.
