Should Pacquaio get credit for beating Cotto at 145

[Bilbo's Mom]

Any fighter should get credit for beating another fighter 5+ pounds heavier than him at fight night.

Chagaev must have recived major props then for beating Valuev

This is really so simply to understand.....

If two fighters are of equal ability but one is bigger than because all other factors are even the bigger guy will win.

However if one fighter is vastly better than the other fighter but the other fighter is bigger then the smaller but better fighter will still likely win because he better everywhere else.

It's a simple equation.

Manny beating Cotto is a much much much bigger deal than Chagaev beating Valuev because Valuev is inferior in every single regard to Cotto other than size.

Manny would be beating a bigger and also elite fighter.

Chagaev beat a bigger but mediocre fighter.

How is that hard to understand?
