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

[Bogler]

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

yeah, and thats what they call overcoming the odds.

[Bogler]

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.

same.

close fight. no one got outboxed. jmm tagged pac in the 2nd, pac wobbled jmm in the 10th. rest of the rounds are split. oh i remember, jmm got KTFD spread eagled in the 3rd lol

your analyis is ******ed.

Over comming the odds has nothing to do with betting, it has to do when actual circumstances are stacked against someone~.

Nothing was stacked against Pac in those fights. DLH was close to death, Hatton was shot to **** and Diaz was a bum.

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.

ummm you should check who the p4p king is...

[Shattered Jaw]

LMFAO. The P4P King.

I don't give a **** about some P4P Hype Ranking.

If Pac thinks he is a WW then lets see him fight a beast like Clottey or Mosely. Death would be certain.

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

Well, besides the fact that he beat a washed-up old and gay DLH , and a sick and dying Hatton.. he has also fought lots of fighters from Mexico and the Philllipines. I can't remember their names, but I'm sure they were good fighters.. I was looking up his record, it shows he even fought a dominican once,
the fight ended up a draw.
that's right , "a hungry dominican boxer" and it was a draw.

That shot which KO hatton would KO anyone in the 140 division and maybe some at 147. I agree for the most part tho but wtf is up with the abuse to pac "little runt" etc? **** that bull**** its down right disrespectful to a great fighter..

Odds are probably like this cause like me everyone is fed up with going against Pac and losing lol! i have done for the last 2 fights. Im gonna have to go against him again this time ya know 3 rd time lucky

Cotto unlike Hatton has very good boxing skills and unlike Dela Hoya wont be drained and slow, this is why this time i think Pac will be beaten. If Cotto is supposedly elite he really should step up and win this, if he doesn't you can only assume Marg beatdown has finished him or he wasn't that good to begin with..

Every time Pac steps up he seems to carry power and speed up well though as you saw vs Hatton, so i wont right him off but cotto should win this.

I am well aware of those facts.

LMFAO. I'm sick oh hearing that ****. Pac has thrown numerous wild hayemakers against other guys. He put's people like Marquez, Morales down sometimes from them but they get back up and are ready to fight.

Hatton was splayed out on the canvas for as long as the actual fight lasted. The guy's chin was TOTALLY GONE.
