    In an interesting segment from HBO Bert Sugar said Pacquiao vs Cotto best compares to Henry Armstrong vs Barney Ross

    "I sort of compare this to Barney Ross vs Henry Armstrong. A great fight, two great fighters. But it was Armstrong moving up from featherweight, who leapfrogged to Welterweight, who won."

    Hagler-Hearns.
    Lighter guy coming up who has speed and power.
    However he is gonna find out he went up one too many. I expect it to go about the same except for Pac to last till the middle rounds.

    We won't know until we see the fight. Could be a war, or could be boring. I think it will be a war though.
