There is only one way to settle this. A fight between the two. HA I actually remember a thread started for this. It was hilarious how people were saying Pac would test Cottos chin. Oh man was that good.
Pretty much the way i look at it, cotto is the better fighter but pac has a better resume so has to rank slighlty higher on my p4p list
all around boxer - cotto does pac even have a defence the fights i have seen him in his hands are allways low when hes thorwing puches, when he jabs his right hand is allways near his waist only time i see pac with his hand high are when he is looking for angle and moveing his head :think
Cotto. In terms of versatility, defensive ability, and punching technique, he's superior to Pac. In terms of natural abilty and resume, Pac gets the nod.
Why is this even a question? Cotto, by far. Pacs 'technical' skills are non existant. He is great at what he does, which is come forward throwing fast, hard and accurate punches. He relies upon physical talent, not textbook skills.
