    So can we say the same with Pac?

    Floyd fought the same opponents yet his numbers are higher.

    How many PPV sales has JMM done before Floyd?

    Hatton and Oscar both did their highest PPV sales with Floyd...nobody else.

    Floyd is a great dance partner and this past fight with JMM was his lead.

    Most people I know watched it because of Floyd, not JMM.

    Some reasons why:

    Floyd has the "O" and nobody wants to miss a fight with him just in case they witness a claimed "ATG" losing his first fight. That's big.
    Witnessing Greatness: No matter if he is boring or not, everybody I talk to has said he is still "Great" and give him his due.

      you really think floyd with his skillset took more of risk in fighting Baldomir than PAC stepping up and fighting Cotto? really?

      but people keep talking about him being a 106 (lmao) when the guy walks around 150+.

      so why all the drama from pac's camp about the weight??

      when people bring up '106', they're talking about when he turned pro...there is no drama about weight in PAC's camp...you seem confused

        If Pac could beat Cotto even with a SD in a close fight I would consider that better than the Barrera victory.

        I mean looking back all those years ago did anyone ever think that Pacquiao would be up for meeting the best WWs in the world?

        Crazy stuff. Pacquiao moving straight up and challenging Cotto (albeit at 145) is amazing.

          even if Pac knocks Cotto out, some idiots will say that he was already damaged goods. Or that Cotto was weight drained going from 147 to 145.

            I believe he does DLT is not known for being too bright.

            If Pac manages to beat Cotto it'll easily be his biggest win ever.

              but pac still went down & boiled himself to make weight. If you can make weight you are legitimate in that division. his opponents also rehydrate. why only look at pacquiao?

              Hatton walks around 160. does that make him a middleweight? cotto walks around 155-160. does that make him a legitimate 154, 160 pounder? carlos baldomir goes as high as 170 walking around weight. does that really mean he is a super middle lightheavy?

                Im not ripping him for it at all. Im just talking about this thread saying that it would be one of the biggest wins in the last 10 years or whatever. Thats a joke, e****aly when you add that to the fact that this isnt the same Cotto. There is a reason why Pac is favored. He's favored because most people dont think that Cotto is Cotto anymore. Its not like he's beating pre Margarito version of Cotto

                    What does that mean, idiot? His biggest win ever has nothing to do with this thread. For you to say that shows that you arent bright and cant read
