    Exactly what i think. How many time did PAC destroyed a supposedly bigger and stronger man?

    He's speed is lethal he doesnt use it for defensive purposes but for attacking and destroying opponents. Cotto is bigger but will he able to avoid the onslaught that pac is gonna dish on him with those blinding combinations?

    If the left cross that Corley( less than 148lbs ) landed on Cotto (Almost 160lbs) made miguel's legs looks like spaghetti..How would the same punch ( See Hatton fight) do to miguel?

    at 148 (fight night) PAC still look muscled ( Look at the pic where pac went to hatton). 150 to 152 wont affect him that much.


    I think Pac can win this.
    it became obvious after the Malignaggi fight, that Cotto would get wobbled so bad at 140 mainly cause he was killing himself to make the weight, not so much that he had a bad chin, Torres turned out to be one of if not the most explosive puncher at the weight, IMO it's Bailey, but i'd have Torres and Urango in my top 3 as far as power punchers are concerned

    For real though, how many times does Manny have to beat guys bigger than him?

    People said Oscar at 154 would be way too big for Mayweather regardless of his defensive skill, and the first punch landed would cause him to crumple in the wind. I am sorry, but 20 pounds doesn't make the same difference 80 pounds makes. I could see Mike Tyson or Tua crumpling Mayweather with one punch, but not Cotto.

    As a heavyweight I fight guys who are 40 pounds heavier than me, and sometimes they have way less power than light heavyweights.

    Cotto might survive a left hook from Pac but can he withstand the onslaught after he get shaken? Im sure Pac wont go to the body like what corley did. Pac is a finisher only JMM has survived after hitting the deck.

    If he can solve pac's movement then Cotto might get the job done. but its very very unlikely.
