ill give cotto his due.....he will come in as the underdog for their fight......
that is why im puzzled as to why people are underestimating Pac's win over Oscar when 18 out of 20 boxing "experts" predicted Oscar would KTFO Pacman.....Comment

Weight or no weight either fighter will get a lot of credit in my opinion.
Pacman has the most to lose however...a loss to cotto would drop him from the top p4p spot. If cotto loses it will be a big impact currently but in terms of legacy in the future i dont think it will hurt him as bad because people will remember cotto losing to the top p4p fighter of that time...which of course theres no shame in that in terms of legacy.
If cotto wins i think it makes him a huge star overnight. despite the size. or weight class.
or course no matter who wins i expect fans of the loser to blame it on the weight (either manny going up and fighting a bigger guy; or cotto going down and draining himself a bit to fight pacman). so thats a give-in.
but historically from this fight a lot will be remembered in the future. the de-crowning of the p4p champion of the sport (or crowing of one) is always a big deal.
As far as credit goes though for RIGHT NOW i think its going to be mixed emotions mattering on who wins.
regardless if the fight is reasonably close i can see a rematch occuring in the future. maybe even at a different weight (one that favors the loser who may use the excuse of weight).Comment
