You can't compare the divisions.  The main difference is in speed; PBF and (probably) Cotto were/are at no disadvantage due to size alone, although I think Pac is naturally faster than Cotto.
Valuev, although his skills are underrated (he has good defense and a great jab), is sloooww.... you have to be when that size. For a HW, even a bulked-up Haye is unusually fast and to win he just has to do what Holyfield did, only using his superior speed to land more punches. If they have to be on Valuev's gut, that's fine. It should be comfortable unless he gets careless too often. Valuev is bound to wobble him at some stage, he needs to keep together enough to take to his heels long enough to recover.
Haye by reasonably close UD. With the lil' guys, Pacquiao over Cotto as, stature or not, he is IMHO faster, more skillful and ****s pretty much as hard. Mayweather is simply a better fighter than JMM, size had little to do with it. He and Pacquiao are a class above all the rest; and I'd sell the cat and mortgage the wife for a ticket to see a fight between the two of them; legendary stuff.
