People should stop acting like Cotto is the underdog.

    cotto SHOULD beat pacquiao. don't know if he will, but he should
    like i said manny was the huge favourite in that fight
    he got more credit for that than hatton would of if he had ko'd pacquioa in the 2nd round
    thats the point i was trying too make

      its the same with cotto,if he loses,pacquioa is the greatest,and if he wins people will say he should have won as he was the bigger guy fighting a former flyweight
      makes no sense

      That a great position to be in isnt it??? Manny is in a no-win situation in his last 2 fights and this one is no different.

        its a no-lose situation
        its a brilliant situation,roach and his people calculated these step up in weights very smartly

          fact of the matter is he is not the favourite. hes not a lightweight. hes a light welterweight. and arguably p4p number 1. cotto is rightly so the underdog.

            cotto will most definitely hurt pacquiao with his punches. we're not sure if pacquiao would hurt cotto with his.

                no matter how impressive he looked, he had:

                1 fight at welterweight
                1 fight at jr. welterweight
                1 fight at lightweight

                him fighting a top welterweight should make him the underdog. that's the reason why there are weight classes in the first place.

                  Tito had 1 fight at MW when he face Bernard and he was like 5-1 favorite or some **** like that.

                    ye but its not like cotto has been on fire recently is it? i mean he quit against margarito, fought a couple bums in jennings and gomez and then had a fairly close fight with clottey. if cotto was on fire knocking people out left right and centre then people may agree that he should be favourite.

                      i agree with aether. Weight classes are there for a reason. The difference in weigth classes is significantly
