    Pac was beautiful Vs. Cotto. That win over Cotto turned Money May into a jealous, insecure hater. The peak of the PacMania era 08'-'11 were the most tormenting years for Money May.

      Offensively he looked great even back in 2006. But I guess 2007-2010 is quite fair to say that he was in his prime

          Probably the between the delahoya and margarito fight. Pac back then would have a higher chance of beating floyd.

            agreed! full blown ped accusation after the cotto fight.


            before the cotto fight, sr and roger gave manny no chance to beat cotto, but as soon as manny whooped on miguel, sr and roger started accusing manny.

                i don't think pacquiao beats mayweather at any weight. styles make fights, almost half a foot of reach disadvantage, etc.

                that said, pacquiao was prime until around 2010 or so. he became a senator and politician, started to have problems with cramping and his legs in training, started letting guys off the hook when they were hurt, stopped taking training seriously, etc.

                i thought he was still a great fighter, but noticeably past prime for the first time in the margarito fight. cotto was probably his peak though he didn't quite have the killer instinct against cotto he still ahd all of his physical tools, and hwas a better boxer than he was when he was at 122 lbs and one dimensional. looked a little bored against clottey, but that may be attributed to the styles.


                so yeah, late 2010, just after he got elected to congress.

                    I got 50 yrs in the sport lol, and Cotto said himself he was weight effected and would never do that to his body again for another fighter.

                    Point is that you fools are blind too, its the same man so you are effectively saying " He can beat him with a CW but refuses to fight him without a CW " so the weight is what makes all the difference.

                    Do you even grasp what it is you are really saying.

                      Lol Cotto showed no signs of being drained in that fight, he looked better physically than when he fought Floyd.
