honestly i class both of them as very very good fighters - but neither as elite in the grand scheme of things...

i mean right now they are elites in their weight... but overall prime for prime with the guys form yester-year they would be both found wanting...

Barrera(ok he is my favourite fighter ever) but in his prime no shit, he would take pac down - it wudnt be easy but he would out box him, out think him and stop him. as would morales and others from SFW

Cotto - again the greats from WW wouldof stopped him. no one even hearns (and i say hearns over other for his speed and power) would have an easy time with cotto. meayweather i pick to beat him, but it would be a long hard night...

but at the end both are very very good - but would never beat and elite on their best day imho
