Cotto is already a Hall of Famer, will beating Pacquiao catapult him to ATG top 100 ?

    There have been academic journals written about the trend. Ffs I even wrote a paper in college about PPV trends, and more people from the west bought Tyson PPVs than those in the east, and Tyson is from NY.

      cotto has a better resume at 140-147 than floyd.

      he doesn't have a better resume overall than floyd.

      cotto has never fought anyone where he wasn't favored.

      i think pac will be the 1st time.

      floyd was actually the underdog against corrales.

      people forget that at one time chico was ranked higher than floyd at 130 and chico was ranked in the top 5 p4p.

        i'm just saying who i thought bought the majority of the ppv's.



        pacquiao might be a bigger draw than marquez but i ain't gonna argue that mexican-americans don't buy more ppv's that filipinos.

        it's simple arithmetic.

        there's 28 mil. mexican-americans and only 5 mil. filipino-americans.

        i bought that fight to see the West coast fighter whoop on the East coast fighter...and THAT's how i pitched it to my buddies too..

          as the fight gets closer and closer......the less chance i give cotto to be honest.

          unless pac shows an absolute glass chin at 147......i don't see cotto winning.

          maybe if cotto wears him down but that'll mean it goes into the mid to late rounds. the longer it goes the worse for cotto imo.

            I will admit cotto does have a better resume overall than floyd.

            floyd has never fought anyone dangerous enough.

            i think marquez will be the 1st time.

            marquez is actually the underdog against floyd .

            people forget that at one time mosley was ranked higher than floyd at 147 and mosley was ranked in the top 5 p4p.
            o.k. Mr. Pink

                ehhh......

                as long as pac shows in good shape he's fine.

                cotto doesn't offer him anything technically he's not use to.

                      real boxing fans agree that cotto is already a hall of famer.
                      Hall of famer sure....ATG **** no.

                      He needs to beat Floyd...Pac....Margarito.
