    SHows Pac is an ATG great now. The thing is Cotto is the fave, but some are making Pac fave because they got it wrong enough times when they went against Pac.

      That doesn't make sense. People say Floyd needs to beat Cotto. Yet this Cotto is underdog against a former 106 fighter

      EXPLAIN
      i didn't know being an underdog made you not elite.

        Cotto is MUCH bigger yet is underdog
        yeah...JCC was so much bigger the fight had to be at a catchweight. He was so much bigger that only one of them moved up to 154 and it wasn't him.

        Sure.

          JCC/Pernell is the same as PBF/Hatton. JCC/Hatton fight night would matches most WW. But the difference is PBF/Pernell have enough skills to compensate for weight disadvantage

              He shouldn't be. Since this is his best weight class and against a guy moving up.

                Hatton isn't anywhere near JCC's level. Pernell had a great win. Hatton moved back up to 147, Floyd had a good win.

                  He's saying you can have elite fighters and one will be the underdog. Pac has huge hype atm which is justified, but not as much as he has been getting. Cotto is unknown to most outside of boxing and imo it's a 50/50 fight.

                    Exactly how is a guy who has had 1 fight at 147 not the underdog vs the supposedly elite NR 1 WW (yeh right) who has been at that weight and Faced a number of good Welterweights, Pac on the other hand beat on a skelteon at 147..

                    Is it because Cotto is ****e?

                    Yes, yes it is

                      because everyone is on the pac train and dont wanna hop off.. they really think he's unstoppable.. i dont see it that way.. but he has a chance.. definately dont know why he is a 2-1 favorite.. close to 3-1.. ridiculous but i dont care.. more money for me.. keep on underestimating Cotto..

                      Its not ******** if you know you're gonna win!
