If Cotto is a TRUE elite WW fighter, how come he is underdog against Pacman

[F-22 Raptor]

i just know im making 5 mill on two days later after the site recovers from the crash. gay ass crashes.

[Junito-Rulez]

simple, because he is not elite. he is over rated.

Overrated my ass you don't beat Shane Mosley and you don't stop Judah if you're not an elite fighter.

1)Pacquiao is the favourite because he destroyed two of the most popular fighters in the world. DLH is well known by mainstream public and people used to think he is the best or one of the best fighters in the world. The same way people swallowed when Hopkins said DLH and Floyd were the 2 best P4P(Floyd was, not DLH).
This probably also have to do with the impressive way he stopped his last two opponents who had obvious weaknesses: DLH weight drained, Hatton shot, overrated and **** defense.

2)People who don't know boxing see Cotto as an underdog coz he's been in a war against Clottey, who is only respected and well known, by true knowledgable boxing fans, as a top world class welterweight. They forget the way he outpointed Shane Mosley in a very entertaining fight, showing maturity and composure.
Shane Mosley > Any Pacquiao win.

a 37 yr old past prime mosely who barely beat mayorga. stfu. pac beat legends in the top 10 p4p. and in style. when has cotto beaten an elite fighter in style. err never. he just runs at the end like a tool.

[BORIQUA POWER]

cuz pacio is an elite guy too

[nozorok]

A better question is would Pacquiao be the favorite against fighters like Mayweather, Mosley, Margarito and Williams?

[Pullcounter]

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

yeah, well you aint a king, nor are you flawless... same principle applies in this situation... cotto shouldn't be the underdog, but oddsmakers don't know ****.

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

first of all.... mosley is #1, cotto is #2. Cotto is not ****... he's not an ATG and he didn't beat mosley convincingly, but he's not ****... and in fact he's way too big for pac.

just cause a boxer is the favorite to win, doesn't mean that he's elite... elite status is given when you actually fight real boxers in your own division and beat them.

Pacman would not be favored over any of them

Shot Shane like you said KOed Margarito and destroyed Vargas too.

If i'd be a hater like you, i'd say:
not just
-Weight drained DLH
-Overrated Hatton
but also
- Pacquiao lost twice against Marquez
- Morales was shot, got outboxed by Raheem and was also weight drained.
- Barrera was weakened by the two Morales wars so shot the first time. He was completely shot and gun shy the second time.

However, I will be a gentleman and give his props to Pacquiao coz he's a great fighter, i just confirm my two first statements.
