    Cokes too big and too good a boxer for Manny.

    I am assuming this is for 15 rounds, and I don't see Manny going 15 with the guy.

    12 round fight if it goes to the cards; Cokes would absolutely school him.

    I like Coke's chances here because he was a specialist -- right hand counterpunching, that was his game... that's the best game to have against an aggressive southpaw, especially one that is several inches shorter than you

    that said, Cokes wasn't AMAZING, he was an excellent fighter... I dont see him "schooling" the Pac-Man in any, way, shape or form... he would have his hands full... Pac is FAST and relentless

    I think that's about right. Pacquiao would have to prove more at 147 to get my favouritism, here, but I don't want to rule him out, either. He is simply the most amazing fighter of his generation.

    exactly

    I'm not sure if he's a great welterweight because his opponents have largely been made for him, but he's definitely UNIQUE and clearly a great fighter overall, taking all of his career into consideration
