FLoyd has an awesome defense and lightning release on his punches but doesnt have big pop. I saw that fight is a 50/50 given who has more determination and heart
      Mayweather has become alot better on the inside ever since.

          you back everyone against pac,but you underestimate pacs size and strengths. once again pacs speed will be the key. dont worry about perceptions, pac is a better fighter at these weights, he doesn't kill himself to make weight so he will be strong.

              yes but if Cotto can work his way in with the jab on someone like quintana I think he can be successful.

              Pacquiao also will be weary of Cottos jab. Roach and Mosley both have mentioned that it could make the difference if Pacquiao allows Cotto to apply it solidly. Mosley said that the jab is what had him thinking before jumping in too fast

                Not even I had Pacquaio dismantling Hatton based on sheer skill and ability. plus they were teh same size. Dont make judgements unless your well informed. I was red Ked 10Xs by dumb brits cause I was frequently quoted saying " Pac will end Hattons career"

                    he actually has. he rolls his shoulder and paws punches a lil better but that was against hatton dlh and marquez. I have a feeling mosley and cotto given thier stiff deliveries cna penetrate the paw past the shoulder. But cotto can get caught frequently which is why its so intriuging. more intriuging than Pac vs Maywather cause honeslty pacquiaos style is horrible for mayweather

                      Sounds good to me Figs,still don't think floyd is fighting Cotto though,especially if he destroys Pacman!!
