    pac did by a mile but it doesn't matter now. pac is past his best which is around 2009 and maybe until 2010. pac would no longer be that beast that knocked cotto down two times and made him run the rest of the fight. but i hope he proves me wrong once again.

    When both of these guys fought at center ring, it was pretty obvious Floyd's handspeed and reach caused Cotto problems.
    But when Cotto applied pressure and trapped Floyd into the ropes, it was a different story.
    I mean how can this slow Cotto able to connect?

    Cotto looked pretty good. Style matchup probly helped.


    I don't want to get into the discrediting **** since it never ends one of Cotto's fights he was less mashed up, the other he had a good trainer so its even.

    Pacy boy demolished Cotto. Cotto was practically running his pants on the late rounds against pacy boy.

    Moving on.

    Pacs performance against cotto was way better hands down...
    It just happened that cotto was beaten so badly that people saw it that cotto was weight drained.
    Usually people can tell that a fighter struggled to make weight just by appearance especially during official weigh-ins..but Cotto looked great during the weigh-in and moved great as well at the let go of their match until he felt pac's power that he start to look bad..
    Even after the fight ,Cotto didnt said any excuse but all praises to pac..but,later on as he moved to super welter he's saying that he's drained ,ofcourse he must sell his fight..
    I believe Cotto's best is in his lower weight class fights..He didn't prove anything at super welters yet.

    So Cotto vs PAc is better and Pac's beating of cotto is way better than FMJ.

    Manny fought a better and steamrolled cotto

    but the catchweight makes the fight meaningless

    Cotto ran half of the fight against Manny and was TKOd on the 12th. How was it not better than UD12?

    how? pacquiao didn't lose a single clear round. lost 1 or 2 close ones but knocked cotto down once in the 3rd and once in the 4th that had cotto doing some sort of knee-shake and had cotto running for the remaining of the fight.

    floyd lost at least 2 clear rounds and lost a couple of other close rounds and was actually the one backpedalling most of the time.

    pacman, floyd could have just boxed him to a shutout but he stuck to his promise, nearly had him in the 12th, great fight
