    He'd have got his face re-arranged.

    Just like the first time they fought.

      I still think Pac would beat Cotto weight drained or not. Styles make fights.

        No, actually if Cotto fought Pac rounds 1-5, the way he fought Pac rounds 6-12, he could've won. Sticking and moving.

        He fought Floyd the way he fought Pac 1-5 and Pac made him run the rest of the fight for doing so. He made Cotto pay.

          Not at 145, against that version of Pac, and at the stage Cotto was in at that time. Diaz wouldve definitely helped him

            I didn't see a huge difference to be honest. He was trying to impose his will on Pac early on and ended getting knocked down twice and went on his bike as a result.

              No he would get turned and peppered. If he wants to be competitive he would have to box on the back foot.

                You got no idea what weight does to power and resistance , because its unseen you assume it does not a play a major role , its like a horse than runs last because it has colic , all you see is that it ran last !

                  The 154 Cotto powers through Pac and Pac would run like in the Margo fight and try and box and steal the fight , Pac would not fight aggressive he would box and possibly still win a UD , Margo had strength but was slow and no snap so he couldnt catch him anyway , Cotto was still fast at 154 with so much more power strength and resistance at 154 , waaaaaaay different than 145 .

                  It would be a totally different fight and Pac ducked it for that reason !

                    Considering his strategy was to bully Floyd, obviously Pac would have killed him, since that was his strategy against Pac.
