Castillo was a miny Chavez at his best to say the least. Julio was so much more of a dominant fighter then Castillo. that pressure and body punching was relentless and even Pacman would have eventually folded like a lawn chair.Comment

Pacquiao is a great fighter but a hittable and vunerable fighter at times. I have seen Pacquiao hurt more times then I have seen Chavez hurt in his prime. Chavez had a super human chin and could walk thru anything thrown at him. Then you throw in the body attack and finally the unrelenting pressure. That pressure is what swallowed his opponents.
I think it would be a great fight but in the end Chavez would break Pacquiao after a war.Comment

But, it does appear that the 147lb Cotto is a more forceful puncher than Julio was at 135lbs - 140lbs. If PAC can weather a body assault by Cotto and be victorious. I really think he'll do well against JCC.
PAC just like JCC is a relentless fighter, who also forces his will on his opponents. The problem is though, JCC's engine didn't start chuggin' till the 6-7th round. PAC is like a thoroughbred out the gates from beginning to end. PAC today knows not to stand in front of his opponent which would be against Chavez.
I believe the PAC of today will give JCC a look that is quite unique compared to Whitaker, Camacho, Taylor and Rosario. Here's why, PAC had the blazing hand and footspeed that would be comparable to Taylor and Camacho. Is a southpaw like Whitaker and Camacho, but, Taylor, Whitaker and Camacho did not have the kind of workrate that PAC has. People do not realize how awkward it is to fight PAC. I'm tellin' y'all, PAC would be the most unorthodox fighter that JCC would face compared to the list of greats El Campeon has faced.
I'll make my pick as who would win this mythical matchup at the conclusion of 11/14.Comment

On 11/14, we will all find out what type of body attack PAC can handle. I am in no way saying that Cotto is on the same level of greatness JCC was.

Cotto doesnt throw nearly as many body shots as Chavez, power maybe, but output noComment
