    then please post the accurate stats. Regardless, weight is not the most important factor by any means. Fighters outweigh each the all the time.

      Let's agree to disagree on this one.
      Fair enough. I'm not tryin to be obnoxious or anything, and I would never count Pac out of anything. I just think size would be a factor.

        I don't think that would be a good move for Pacman. You guys really think a Pacquiao can KO Cotto? If Cotto lands a series of combos, then I see Pacman getting KTFO JMO

          all i know is that if pac comes thru w/ hatton and ever pulls this off w/ cotto, he'd be in my top5 ATG. hell i'd be tempted to put him top3. for sure he'd be past armstrong at that point.

          7 division champ, 2 linear and multiple HOFers in his resume.

            Pacquaio would beat that ass!! Cotto is my boy and everything but his defense has always been suspect, he would take straight lefts all day.

              Is this the same Buck from the ESPN threads? I agree that Cotto does have a suspect defense but I am not that convinced that Pacquiao would be able to over whelm Cotto & hurt Cotto effectively with his power but I am sure if Cotto lands on Pacquiao it will pretty much be a wrap for Pacman. Cotto has suspect defense but so does Manny. I feel he could not effectively **** out with Cotto & avoid him like he did Oscar in the ring.

                  dont fault the guy(pacman) for daring to be great, only weaklings would say "I cant beat that guy because hes bigger than me" dont be fooled by what your eyes can see, that is why i love boxing due to its unpredictability and excitement. you never know who's gonna win, statistics, skills and physical attributes sometimes does not determine who will victorious.

                    i dont think there's nothing to talk about... cotto is just to big for pac. the only way this fight comes off is if cotto drops to 143 and I doubt cotto can make it.

                      only a fool fights a skilled in his prime fighter like cotto and lets cotto outweigh him by 10+ lbs.

                      daring to be great is one thing, but doing a ****** move like this is suicide. if arm makes this fight he should be charged with manslaughter.
