    Thats right let reality set in now guys. especially pacquiao heads.

    Dont get me wrong Pacs good but in the Welterweight division Miguel Cotto reigns supreme in all aspects.

    Pacquiao will most likely get KOed.

    And lets be honest the only two guys who have a good chace of beating Floyd are Shane and Cotto. Cotto is the best bet

      The difference between Pacquiao and Marquez is that Pacquiao has proven he can carry the weight effectively, Marquez was pushing the limits at 135 IMO and could possibly make 130 if he tried, he clearly couldn't handle the extra weight effectively.

        The difference is the quality of opponent. The best of WW cant match the best of 135-140.

          have we watched the same fight?
          because i thought mayweather dominates marquez because of

          1. reach, mayweather jab killed marquez
          cotto doesnt have reach advantage against pac

          2. speed
          cotto is slow like a turtle

          3. defense
          cotto defense sucks, he got a good chin thou

            So you're saying Cotto isn't as good as say Timothy Bradley?

              Add in the fact Marquez is a horrible style matchup for Floyd...

              Floyd waits on his opponent as well, is difficult to hit...unlike Pac he's defensive...and has one of the best boxing IQ's in the game...

              Marquez was arguably losing to Casamayor...

                  You couldn't be more wrong, Floyd beat JMM because he's the superior fighter, Cotto isn't superior to Pacquiao

                    You're completely wrong. The reason Marquez lost was because of Floyd's SPEED, REACH, SIZE, YOUTH, WEIGHT, STAMINA, DEFENSE. This was a mismatch from the start. Marquez had virtually NO advantages. How the hell do we give credit to Floyd for fighting a no-risk opponent? In my mind he doesn't. Until he fights an opponent with a few advantages over him and dominates that opponent Floyd is only P4P #2.
