Who has the bigger advantage Pacman or Cotto?

[-PANDA-]

they = fightin on equal terms

the pacman challenged cotto not the other way around remember

whether the pacman wins or loses he will have handpicked a guy from one of the two dozen fighters out of 4 different weight classes

cotto will weigh 158 and pac 148. we know the answer.

this is obvious.

this is obvious.

My thought exactly. Cotto has the bigger size advantage so this fight is very competitive. Cotto will not get any heat for it. PBF Does. The Cotto fans are allready making excuses that he is at a disadvantage because of the weight.

When did Pacquiao call out Cotto?

I have allready seen the excuses that Cotto will be to weight drained to compete with the allmighty Pacquiao. I disagree. Pacman's ideal fighting weight is probably 135 and Cotto's is 147. That said I see that Cotto coming down a measly 2lbs vs Pacman fighting 10lb above his fight weight is not a disadvantage for Cotto.

i agree cotto weighed in at 146 for the jennings and clottey fight. hell be fine at 145. thats why pac tried to bring him lower in weight. i dnt see it being an issue for cotto. nor should it be used as an excuse if he loses.

WTF? Manny didn't call anybody out. He told his promoter who he wants to fight. Again if Manny said during the post fight interview I want Cotto thats calling out, but talking business with your promoter isn't.

Cotto odds +150
Pacman odds -190

weight aside since this has been discussed to death.

pac has the overall advantage.

the fact he has a strong relationship with his current trainer.

the 3 dominant wins he's coming off of.

all the hype, money and fame.

yea i'm pretty sure pac is on his high horse right about now while sadly, cotto is still in a slump atm.

mentally i don't think cotto is ready. his past 2 fights makes it evident.

yea he fought like a warrior against clottey, but i still think he's damaged goods.

So FLoyd facing JMM isn't a fair fight but Cotto facing Pacman is. Props to Pacman and JMM for taking big risks.

If Cotto fought JMM would people think it was a bad fight? Not me.

I agree with you on the strong relationship he has with his trainer. Freddie Roach is the best trainer out there while Miguel is getting trained by a comittee in training.

Speed Kills that said Pacman isn't Knocking out Cotto.
