    At 147. Does the Cotto version of Pac stand a chance to do some damage?

    Leonard is the favourite no doubt but many boxing fans would completely write off Pacquaio's chances and preach "Leonard Domination" or some BS. Pacquiao's high workrate, endless stamina, fast hands and southpaw stance would give Leonard problems. Leonard may have been a better Welterweight than Pacquiao but he wasn't a pure counterpuncher which is the style that most seemed to bother Pacman...rather he was a warrior that could also move and box. The first Duran fight is a good template for how this fight could have gone if Leonard just came to try to KO Manny Pac. In 10 fights Leonard wins 7 but on any given night Pacquiao could have won a decision.

    The equine as usual is pushing his mouth around Floyd's cock agenda.

    Pac doesn't beat prime Leonard in 100 fights. No, he's not pulling a Montreal... I hate to break it to ya... Duran was a better fighter than Pac.

    Leonard TKO 8.

    I'd rather see New Orleans Leonard vs. the Pacquiao that just fought Matty Ice

    Leonard knocks out Pacquiao and then stuns the crowd by placing a "Team Leonard" hat on Pacquiao's head and a towel over Pacquiao's shoulder before putting his dilz in the unconscious Pacquiao's mouth and saying "Oh COACH, how could you????!!!"

    Stylistically, it’s about as bad a fight for Pac as it can get IMO. I think Leonard counters his rushes for as long as it goesz
