If Manny hits harder than Margarito and he's faster than Miguel then...

hmmm, that might be a little much, 2-1 says a lot against a fighter like Cotto, but 3-1... I don't know... But with his big wins against the likes of Oscar and Ricky and in the manner that he won, I can see why the money is on Manny...Comment

i honestly think that pac being a 3-1 favorite is a bit of an insult to cotto. but you made a valid point on his win against oscar and ricky. i think thats the main reason why hes so much favored to winComment

is this vegas odds?
cause its not really based on who has a better chance to win. it is based how many people would bet on a fighter.
by no means pacquiao should be the favorite. he's fighting for his 7th weight title for ****s sake.Comment

i believe so. still, pac is so much favored to win thats why hes a 3-1 favorite
i have no problem with pac being the favorite but the odds being 3-1 is ridiculous imoComment

Manny hits harder if you take away the plaster if you're going by the account of Rashad Holloway. With plaster it's another story, Marg's power goes into the stratosphere. Rashad never felt anything like it, and his face got smashed. He went from just fine to possible career threatening injury in no time. Holloway has never outright accused Marg of using plaster on him out of respect, but I'm sure he wondered how the guy's power shot up against him like that from one sparring session to the next.
Now keep in mind, Cotto got beat with those rocks for 11 rounds and he still wasn't actually KO'd nor did his face need surgical attention.
Power is ultimately going to be a non issue for Cotto against Pac, watch.
Foot Speed.
Manny probably has a full step on Cotto there, but he's not so fast Miguel won't pick up his beat imo.
If anything, Pacman should be more concerned. Clottey described Cotto as being WAY WAY WAY more powerful than Margarito in the punching department. So he's in his livest fight since Marquez, and this is a guy who punches like a mule at WW and has a knack for getting the rhythm on speedsters. Not good.Last edited by Haglerwins; 08-30-2009, 07:32 AM.Comment
