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

[Talisayen]

You guys are funny arguing back and forth.

Why make a big deal of hyping Pacquiao's tune up fight?

[MANGLER]

Everybody's down on Cotto cuz he had a tough time wit Clottey. Who don't have a tough time wit Mr ***shua? I don't get Pac as favorite either. He's too little.

Ricky didn't see the shot coming, and caught it flush on the chin. It was a monster of a shot and it may not have KO'd everyone at 140, but it would KO quite a few.

Pacquiao won't be able to do the same to Cotto but he will definitely bloody him up and force a stoppage.

Yes, another has spoken. The Pac detractors are starting to make this interesting again. I guess the Hatton crow wasn't too filling? I love these threads, especially after the fight. I wonder if Cotto will be shot, weight drained, distracted, etc.. Hatton lost his "punch resistance" after the fight. Apparently Floyd "ruined" him. Hahahaha!

it's the way he disposed of those three (Diaz, DLH, Hatton) that has everyone a little hesistant to bet against him. difference here is that Cotto is a REAL welterweight in his prime, so if Pac whoops him i will be in awe of the man.

[Clint650]

but im still doubting it!!!! Cotto by KO

[Shattered Jaw]

If Pac does whip him then that is awe inspiring. However, I am anticipating a Jenning's style beatdown. Cotto has a far better chin than Hatton and it used to taking plaster in the face. Pac's shots will feel almost good, caressing his skin gently.

Cotto is one of the best boxers around, regardless of weight. Same with Pac.

However, it's the RIDICULOUS Pac Hype that has got me rattled.

Cotto is a good fighter, but he's not got the speed to find Pacquiao and he will find it difficult to get off all night long. He won't be able to pin him against the ropes either. Cottos got a punchers chance for the first 6 rounds against Pac, but Pac's chin is pretty solid. It will end up looking similar to the DLH/Pac fight but not quite as one sided.

[Pullcounter]

cotto should be the favorite. these gamblers don't understand that pac is a small dude and that cotto only struggles against big WWs.

[Shattered Jaw]

Cotto was one of the fastest boxers around not so long ago. I remember threads on phantom punches and the like.

This Pac hype is ridiculous.

cotto should be at 2-1
