Dont try counter with Pacs catch weight with Cotto at 145. Cotto hasnt said anything about that effecting him, because it didnt. He tried his best against Pac but it wasnt good enough. Cotto doesnt use the weight excuse.
Pac daring to challenge the feared Cotto is an achivement all in itself, because PBF surely didnt.
LOL@ this thread. So if he beats Manny, he still hasn't fought anyone good? LOL.
No, he has fought someone great if he beats Pac. Because Pac is in his prime and is an ATG already waiting for him.
PBF is not picking the weight like he did against Hatton and Co.

Let alone a higher ATG than Pac? Can you be an ATG without having fought anyone good in your whole career?
His 3 biggest names are Hatton, DLH and JMM.
Hatton was fighting at 147. If PBF didnt want people to criticise him he would have taken hatton at 140. But at the time PBF wasnt thinking clearly and about his legacy, and people not criticing him. All he wanted to do was give himself the best opportunity to beat hatton, which he wasnt sure he could at 140. That is a chicken to me, and not someone who was willing to take risks. It was someone who doubted his own abilities. Not someone who will go down as an ATG. Him fighting JMM is the same.
He barely beat a past it DLH. Pac showed how you should deal with past it champions. Without making excuses about how good the DLH was that fought PBF and the DLH who fought Pac. DLH signed the contract to fight Pac at 147. He is a grown man and knew what he was doing. He thought he could beat Pac, as did everyone else.
When youl look at it. If PBF even makes the ATG list, he will have overachieved and be proud of himself.
