Should Pacquaio get credit for beating Cotto at 145

[JazMerkin]

Whilst Pacquiao trying to drain WWs for fights is a disgrace, his win over Hatton was phenomenal. Yes Hatton fought like an amatuer, but Pacquiao still beat the man at 140 in 2 rounds. Do I think Hatton was never the same post-PBF? Yes. Do I think he fought a stupid fight & ignored his corner? Yes. Does that take anything away from Manny? No. He did what he needed to do.

Also as much as someone can question his wins over past it versions of Morales & ODLH, he fought 2 very close fights with JMM. I felt he lost both, but he still made them both as close as can be & deserves respect for that.

& no way was Barrera shot when he first lost to Pac, he still managed to pull out one of his best performances against Morales in their 3rd fight a year later so no way was he washed up then.
