If Pacquiao beats Cotto, is it a bigger accomplishment then anything Floyd has done?

    Prime Barerra destruction is Pacs biggest win. Cotto is still better than anything Floyd did besides the Corrales fight.

      I seriously expect Pac to beat Cotto. Its not me ****ting on Cotto,as I am a fan of both fighters. Its just that I truly believe that Cotto is damaged goods. He doesnt look the same to me since Margarito. You couldnt really tell against Jennings, but against Clottey he seemed to look phased and short of confidence when Clottey pressed him. He almost looked a bit gun shy to me.

      So I guess not. The win over Barrera was huge for me, and unless Floyd starts taking some decent advice as regards his legacy,as opposed to his bank balance,then I think that history will remember Pacman a lot more fondly that it will Floyd.

        why you keep trying to discredit cotto Bobby Lee?
        i ain't bobbylee , animalistic.

        barrera is a greater fighter than cotto.

        barrera was the #1 guy in his division.

        barrera was the lineal champion.

        barrera was #3 in the world p4p at the time.

        pacquiao was a huge underdog.

        pacquiao was fighting his first fight at 126.

        pacquiao was fighting in front of a hostile mexican/mexican-american crowd in texas.

        that's why , animalistic.

        not everything is against cotto. you guys need to smarten up and realize that.

          Castillo was beaten before. Oscar was beaten before. Corrales was unbeaten but at Floyd's prime weight. Manny was a Super Featherweight a year and a half ago. Beating a top two Welterweight is unheard of and people are dismissing it like it's just another win.
          cotto wasn't just beaten, he was beaten up....the fight had to be stopped. since then, he has beaten a nobody, and IMO, lost to joshua clottey.

          its impressive if pacman wins b/c he's the smaller fighter, but the win won't have the same mystique as it would have, and like i stated, a loss would say more about cotto's present status as an elite than it would pacman's......

          there's a reason pacman is a 2-1 favorite.

            Of course a Pac-Sexual would.

            Mayweather beat:

            Chicanito Hernendez in his heydey
            Famoso Hernandez in his heydey
            Jesus Chavez in his heydey
            Goyo Vargas in his heyday
            Diego Corrales in his heydey
            Jose Luis Castillo in is heydey

            That was murderers row back when Pac was struggling with Agapito Sanchez...

            Paq went after the usual suspects AFTER their heydeys. Couldnt beat Marquez decisvely. But somehow managed to get to #1 P4P status. LOL

            Thanks alot *******s.

                It might be Pac's best win given the high weight.

                    Too many people writing Cotto off as damaged goods based on the Clottey fight, which is bull**** IMO.

                    Clottey is arguably the 3rd or 4th best welterweight in the world, and has a difficult style. I'd say that the fight was difficult, based more on Clottey being a excellent fighter, than what people are claiming.

                    Besides, Cotto fought most of the fight with one eye, which was an amazing feat in itself.

                      that's all i'm saying.....its not the same miguel cotto. there's a reason dude is an underdog. cotto is still a good fighter, but let's face it, i can't get any cotto fans to bet me on this fight....
