Why doesn't Pac get the same credit for the Cotto win as Floyd's win over Canelo?

[True Alpha Male]

Both were at catchweights, one against a natural career light welterweight/welterweight and the other against a natural junior middleweight that was at a catchweight...

Cotto was a proven fighter, experienced and skilled.

Canelo was a young inexperienced, good fighter but he was like an apprentice learning on the job, he only had a few fights against legit competition...

Yet Floyd is getting worshipped for a catchweight against an unproven prospect, and Manny gets hell for beating the breaks off of the guy who gave Mayweather in his words...''my toughest fight''



It just goes to show how much of a hypejob Mayweather is, don't get me wrong he is skilled and fast and a great fighter....but talks of the GOAT are absolutely preposterous.

Is it against the laws to make a pro Pacquiao thread on this forum. Sorry I never saw in the thread rules where it says ''Suck Floyd's dink or you get banned''

He got credit for it at the time of fight, but later on when the Pac/Floyd feud got more heated people started to downplay it because of the catchweight.

People tend to live in the moment and then they start to hate later on.

Its a solid win but it goes with Manny and his team picking guys that at his level shouldnt be fighting.

Manny was at the same place floyd is right now. We dont want to see him fight no one but the best and Cotto as good as he was was not the best at the time or even close to it.

Canelo is a young undefeated beast that is not necessarily better than cotto but its perception in the eyes of the people
