    Pac, of course.

    But as others have said, Mayweather fought a better version.

    And Pac and May are two very different fighters.

    Pac looked absolutely sensational exposing Cotto's B level ass. Was a terrific performance and had him running for his life. Floyd beat him very convincingly, but he stood flat footed and let Cotto get off.

    Are you seriously saying that Floyd took more punishment against Cotto than Pacquiao did? :lol::lol: I guess it's true what they say about Floyd being held to a much higher standard than any other current boxers.

    We've been saying it since before Marquez beat Pacquiao... for the third time.

    Both fought 142 pound Marquez. The difference on paper is that Marquez was 36 when Mayweather fought him, and 38 when Pacquaio fought him. Oh, also on paper there is a big discrepancy in the scorecards.

    Pacquiao broke Cotto's will in 3 rounds. Where the **** is the debate? But yeah, yeah, yeah this was post Margarito Cotto, catchweight, blah, blah, blah...

    actually, floyd did took more flush shuts than pac for the whole 12 rounds. those damaged pac sustained was mostly from the guard stance that still shook him just because cotto is the bigger and stronger fighter. most of pac's damaged was sustained in the first 4 rounds. cotto hit floyd for the whole 12 rounds.

    also the difference here is that pac honored the catchweight while floyd didn't. also jmm has 0 fights coming into WW while jmm has experience fighting above it in pac and has a good conditioning coach unlike in the floyd fight where he is lifting rocks to get bigger.

    Floyd, by far!!! Floyd fought a better and NON catch weight Cotto. Cotto has came off impressive wins when he fought Mayweather. Cotto also busted up Pacman pretty good as well. Especially his ears, lol.

    We can play the twisting game all day though. Marquez at least experienced the weight once by the time he fought Pacquiao. Look at the weigh in pics. Even ask the man himself.

    Mayweather beat Cotto, Pacquaio beat Cotto up. Big difference.

    The Miguel Cotto that showed up last night was coming off three impressive victories, he had a more experienced trainer, he was at a more comfortable weight, and he showed more ability as it relates to adapting to an opponent.

    After the first round of the Manny Pacqauio fight Miguel Cotto had nothing planed strategically aside from backpedaling and saving his own life.

    How could he have been gassed out when his most effective moments came during the middle of the fight.

    STFU, nuthugger. Cotto caught Floyd with few jabs(which caused him to bled from his nose) and mostly when Floyd was against the ropes. Cotto busted Manny's eardrum, marked up his face way worse. Cotto landed 172 total punches against Manny, and he only landed 105 against Floyd. Floyd limited him to only connected 75 power punches(He landed 93 power punches on Manny), and also Cotto wasn't able to outjabbed Floyd like he has against all of his previous opponents. Even though Cotto's jab was more effective, Floyd still outjabbed him.
