I think Pac would beat Soto and I agree Manny needs a rest,the worry is...who else is he going to fight? Not JMM,MAB,Chi etc etc so who? Not even Guzman nor Valero... Soto is a very good fighter,his losses came back whenhe was taking fights on short notice and he never got to train properly because of his team. He now has a solid team,is focussed and was Erik Morales sparring partner for a year. I think Soto is fighting Feb 26th if I remember correctly. Soto is also number 1 contender for the WBC title and I think he has won his last 5 or 6 fights via stoppage.
