A lot of people talk a lot of shit about both fighters, a lot of it has to do with their disliking the fighter. I'm not asking who you like more, who you hate more, my question is, if you had to, who would you put your money on? In the end that's all it comes down to when you want to decide who you honestly think is gonna win.
I can not answer this question w/o knowing the odds. If PBF was over -200 i wouldnt bet on him but i do not bet on any favorite straight up that is over -200. For me to bet on Cotto i would need atleast +175 and would prolly parlay with the o/u.
If this fight takes a long time(year and a half to 2 years) to happean i believe Cotto will be the betting favorite, shit PBF was only like -150 against hatton people love putting money against him. I would bet on PBF with any + number.
