    Damn you bet on everything.

    Wanna bet on who lands the most hooks in 1st round or what color trunks they will wear out?

        Cotto has already lost. It's not like Calzaghe or Mayweather.

        I imagine Cotto will finish his career with 4-6 losses. He's doesn't care about losing. Why do you think he always fights stiff comp?

          A man much smaller than you is not stiff competition.

            nice talk, but there is a reason why there are weight divisions.

            By your logic Valuev should never lose.
            and yet the K-sisters are dominating the HW division...

            Valuev is a freak of nature.

            the K-sisters are the biggest HWs around and dominating that sorry as division.

            so you advocate eliminating weight divisions? you wanna see floyd vs calderon?

            weren't you here when I told cotto stans to contact their cousin's mother's uncle's nephew who lives in caguas to tell cotto to cancel the pac fight?

            size does matter, that's why there are weight divisions. cotto only struggles against huge WWs. cotto has never struggled with midgets. there is no reason why cotto can't KO pac. pac is too small.

              You're right, a half inch in height is a massive size advantage.

              I'll shutup now.

                Ok, by your logic Paul Williams is as big as a Prime George Foreman.

                  Very clever. Unlike some others, Pullcounter claims Cotto is a massive favorite, thus a Pac win gets maximum credit. Smart guy.

                    Their other dimensions are similar as well. Find me something that says otherwise.

                      Haha is this the new flavour of the month? Making out like Cotto is just like Floyd 'Looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, acts like a duck' Mayweather in picking on a smaller fighter. The dent in your logic is that:

                      - Pac was the one looking for the Cotto fight, he tried to get Cotto to drain himself, Cotto said the least he will come down to is 145. Pacquiao eventually agreed and the fight was made.

                      - Floyd came out of retirement and ignored the top Welterweights in Mosley, Cotto, Clottey and Berto and picked on LW champ JMM and is making him come up up to WW even though it showed in the Diaz fight that he is a small LW.

                      So pullcounter, etc. Is it any better for Floyd to take on little Pac than it is for Cotto? Cos I don't think anyone would complain about that. It's just simple double standards.
