    Believe he was at least 20 in the second KO loss. Either way that was a long time ago and he had problems making the weight for that fight also. Was at 112.

      doesn't matter. he still has a questionable chin. go look at the manila glass gif. someone on boxing scene has it.

        That Pac can punch though I don't think Pacman's punching has ever been an issue for him. What will be an issue however is whether he can take a punch at higher weights. Diaz, ODLH, and Hatton couldn't answer those questions so now it'll be up to Cotto to determine. However, I don't think that Pacman will be able to KO Cotto. It took an unnesseary amount of punishment (referee and corner's fault) to put Diaz away and ODLH said he wasn't really hurt by Pacman's power at 147. Hatton was a flush KO in Pacman's credit, but the fool had left himself completly to the punches and deserved it.

            I've seen it and yes he was KO'd clean, the second Marquez fight where JMM wobbled Pacman is a much more telling punch. If Cotto is going to harm Pacquiao it will be with a counter punch much like JMM, except Pacman won't be wobbled he'll be knocked down at the very least if Cotto connects.

              I think you may be over rating Cotts punching power. Also If Cottos only shot is to land a one shot KO....[which i think is his only shot] He is in trouble. What you didnt mention is Mannys counter punching and his under rated power

                  Even as a cotto fan i see cotto's weaknesses but some fans are soooo blind they cannot see the weakness in their fighters or the plus in others. Sad.

                    If the fight gets signed I think it will be a war. I'm a fan of both fighters, so I'm not happy to see them fight. I don't know who is going to win and I cant really make a prediction all I can say is that I know it's going to be a great fight. Pac and cotto

                      Exactly and did you see that marquez did not go for the kill....very costly error. Cotto would've attacked after wobbling pacman as marquez did.
