if Cotto fought Pac the way he did floyd.....

[KING MEAT]

... could he have won?

[IronDanHamza]

He'd have got his face re-arranged.

Just like the first time they fought.

[1mind]

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

[BoxingGenius27]

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.

[DLT]

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

[ИATAS]

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.

[FeFist]

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

He'd have got his face re-arranged.

Just like the first time they fought.

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 !

[Reloaded]

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 !

[bojangles1987]

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