What if Pacquiao stayed as a lightweight and cleaned out the division?

Well I don't really want to go off and tear down Cotto, but he has his fair share of critics. His best wins: 35 year old Mosley. Got a gift decision against Clottey - was he any good in the first place, and Judah - again do people consider him A-class. Escobedo still has a future. The Mitchell fight gets points for being in England, most fighters struggle in front of hostile crowds.

I think Malignaggi-Cotto was a bad example, so I retract that one (He did box well from a technical point of view but the punching power of each others combinations where miles apart). But again, Diaz was in a higher division, and he won the first one (was it legit - that's a different argument). Malignaggi does have good skills, and Diaz (as he reaffirmed with Marquez II) was trying to outbox him. Did the Marquez KO affect him? Possibly. It certainly influenced a change in style.

Again, I don't want to tear down Hatton, but he has his fair share of critics: Best wins were against Tyszu (who was fighting part time for the last few years), and Castillo (who was well past it when he fought Hatton). Ok wins against Collazo and Urango at welter, but these aren't any better than Chavez and Amonsot.
