    Pac fights for the money not for the title. So i dont see this fight happening.

    I'm surprised Manny Pacquiao is winning this fantasy matchup...

    Prove your point!

    Pacman optimum weight is at 148-149 lbs. Beyond that will make his speed diminish, and so with his power. That's why he wants cotto to fight at 145. What if this fight pac-spinx happens? Pac will be weighing almost 150 while Spinx would probably weighing 170 on fight night. pac would be outboxing Cory but a single powershot from Cory would crumble pac to the ground. remember, massxvelocity=force. Cory has the higher punch-force on this one. Manny can win this fight ala-pac/dlh but we can't count out cory spinks on this one.
