Roy Jones Jr. vs John Ruiz Equal to Pacquiao vs Cotto?

[THE REED]

thats why I mean Pac ain't no real welter weight and pac has also moved up a lot in weight. There's some similarities thats all.

But he is a solid 140lber.

Roy wasn't even a solid Criuserweight.

He moved up to cruiserweight to fight a heavyweight.


If Manny moved up from 130lbs to a 140lbs to fight Cotto at 154lbs(if Cotto was a 154lber) then maybe....

I see what you are saying but the weight difference was way more lopsided on Roy/Ruiz...It's not really possible to dispute that. Ruiz was WAY bigger than Roy than Cotto is of Pac.

I'm going to have to disagree with that. Pac has an insane combination of speed, power, and athleticism. Quintana has better boxing skills than Pac.

Lets see, I think Pacquiao is more elusive. Pacquiao's body ain't as long as Quintana's. You know, I want to see how Cotto will work the body. I see him getting hit with big shots upstairs.

terrible comparison in my opinion. Ruiz always sucked to me. He did fight close fights multiple times with a washed up Holyfield though.
