    Floyd fought a healthy 154 lb Oscar. Pac fought a dried up 145 lb version of Oscar a year and a half later......

    Be serious here......

      of course......but Floyd won't fight Cotto if he wins!!!!......he'll take Mosley instead because he'll make Floyd more money than Cotto!!

        I dont believe in "triangle theories" all that much as far as outcome is concerned, but you can clearly see the speed difference looking at the common opponents of Pac and Floyd. Floyd has the speed edge all day.....
        I don't agree. IMO, it is the stlye of pbf that jmm was not able to land much. pac is all out when he is in the lower weights sometimes leaving himself open. I would not use this as an argument for speed comparison.

          We shall know more in roughly .....
          54 days 2 hours 18 minutes 50 seconds




          Yes I am counting the days

            Overlooking a 160lbs Welterweight is only going to benefit one person.

                  I hope Cotto beats Pacquiao, so we don't have to see Mayweather dissect another fighter pushing his limits, but unfortunately I think Pacquiao will beat Cotto.

                  Floyd will beat Paquiao convincingly in my opinion. Floyd in my opinion can do whatever Marquez can do at least 5 times better and I'm being modest here. Pacquiao had a hard time against Marquez skills at their best WEIGHT CLASS and he won 2 controversial DECISIONS and people think he can BEAT a guy with 5 times better skills than Marquez in HIS CURRENT BEST WEIGHT CLASS??????????
                  u cant seriously compare the marquez that pac fought at 130(his weight division) to the bloated marquez that fought mayweather....it doesnt take a genius to see that marquez is not comfortable with the added weight...JMM was just out there to get a payday...

                  and what weight division are we talkin about here? LIGHTWEIGHT? coz thats the divison of flyods opponent...

                    Remember how Pac agreed to fight DLH at 147 and dominted but wouldn't agree to the same deal with Cotto.I believe that at the weigh-in DLH came in at 145 and Pac at 144. At fight time DLH only gained two pounds over night. My question is if Pac knew he was fighting a game DLH would he have agreed to a 147lb limit. In my opinion, no. So why not fight Cotto at 147. Pac knows that Cotto is not the DLH that he fought. I still think Cotto is going to win and punish Paquiao. That's right, PUNISH. Pac is a great fighter but who has he fought that was an impressive fighter, the three Mexican brawlers? I'll give it to Pac, I won't be shocked if he beats Cotto (even though I think he's going to get punished). But even if he beats Cotto he' going to get waxed by PBF. Neither Cotto or Pac could beat Floyd. Floyd is straight nasty.
                    yeah..he is nasty...he just beat up a lightweight...and i hope next time he would try to honor the contracted weight....
