    What on EARTH has Pac done that allows him to be the favourite over Cotto?

    This talk of Pac knocking out Cotto is boarding on ridiculous. Nay, it IS ridiculous.

    Pac has done NOTHING to warrant him being a favourite over Cotto. Who has he fought about 130? The Holy Trinity of Diaz, DLH and Hatton?

    Garbage.

    Diaz was a non-top 5 punch bag who's only positive attribute was a big heart and good chin.

    Hatton was shot to **** after PBF took his soul during that 10 round beating. Journeyman Lazcano had him stumbling all over the ring, the corrupt referee allowing Hatton to tie his laces saved him.

    DLH should have been in HOSPITAL that night, not in a boxing ring.

    Pac's last fight at 130 he was outboxed, outfoxed and generally beaten up by Marquez. The cut and numerous welts on Pac's face coming from the sensational work of 35 year old Marquez's gloves.

    Cotto will be STRONG, FIT and READY TO FIGHT come November. He could have stripped for the Clottey weigh-in and been nearly 145.

    While Pac has been feasting on bums and getting his face tagged by Marquez, Cotto has been honing his skills as an elite warrior. He has fought all the guys that noone wants to fight: Mosely, Margarito and Clottey and beaten two of them (albeit narrowly). Obviously, there is MASSIVE su****ion that Margarito cheated in that fight in which case you have to grant Cotto the distinction of still being undefeated on even fighting terms, although we will likely never know.

    Can you imagine Pac versus any of the prime warriors Cotto fought (Mosley, Quintana, Margarito or Clottey)? LMFAO. The beating would be SEVERE, PROLONGED and CAREER WRECKING for Pac.

    This is going to be an awesome fight but Pac is in for a serious beating. We all know he is going to retire soon and that Arum needs a new superstar - well who better to fit the bill than Cotto? The guy was on the verge of it coming into the Margarito fight, no doubt.

    This will be sanctioned murder.

      Taken advantage of the two - three opportunities he had. Thus creating the hype and feeding it further with his KO of hatton.

        don't you think vegas is tired of having the odds against Pac by now??

        He does nothing but win, against incredible odds, that's what he's done. He's pound 4 pound #1 fighter in the world.

        Ricky is too massive for pacquiao!!
        Oscar will destroy pac in 3 rounds!!

        blah blah blah

          Also betting odds are not really based on on chances of winning, they are set so that the money comes in equally on both sides. All sports books makes money on action and they really don't want more money to come in on one side then the other because that represents a huge risk to them.

          That is why if you pay attention to what fights you bet on and when you place your bets you can find very good values.

            The beating Plaserito put on Cotto seemes to have affected him,that along with possible weight problems might turn the tid over for Pacquiao.

                If the sports book is doing the job properly they should never lose money regardless if the favorite or the underdog wins.

                  DLH was absolutely TERRIBLE that night. He would have been brutally KOed by any top 30 Welterweight with ease.

                  Hatton was SHOT TO **** and his chin had been turned to Mulch.

                  Cotto will beat this little runt mercilessly.

                    Pac was throwing wild shots all night while Marquez was issuing pin point a bludgeoning to Pac's skull, sending him ******ed. Hence the reason he thinks he can mess with a prime, elite WW in Cotto.
