Cotto Uses Underdog Status For Motivation To Beat Manny

[Carlisle]

We know Mayweather is NOT the best. I say the Punisher. Win or lose isn't Manny everything we want to see in a champion?

Co-sign.

Plus the fact that Pac is moving-up in weight. And it's quite ironic if you call yourself the best but you are not fighting the best just b-coz your L is 0, isn't it?

[GRUSTLER]

I think Cotto will take it in the 10th. BUT the fight has the potential to
end sooner considering that both fighters like to engage and bring the
fight to their opponents.

i see it as 50-50, either one of them has a chance of scoring a knockout. underrating either fighter is a mistake. one thing is for sure, this fight wont go 12 rounds.

[Emiliano Zapata]

Shallow motivation

But Manny has deeper motivation, the 7th belt, history.

Thats why if Pac beats Cotto(impressively or convincingly) with out a doubt we will be watching one of the greatest fighter(possibly the greatest) of our era.

Both fighters are equally motivated, you never hear themselves talking about money. They want to fight to elevate their names, look at their records and you see that they took risky fights even on a losing end and take another risky fight

I dont get why Miguel Cotto is a big underdog.

Because the lines makers think he is damaged goods and Pacman is in his prime.

Size doesn't win fights, stop with the excuses. Heavyweights are 20-30 pounds apart fight night and it doesn't usually affect the outcome of the fight. Shannon Briggs got his 270 pound ass beaten by much smaller fighter Sultan Ibragimov who was about 220.

Size does make a difference when both guys are in shape, however.

That's why both Cotto and Pacquaio have resumes which look better than Mayweather's. They take the toughest opponents, and win or lose, they still look impressive and come back for more.

i love cotto, he is a good fighter and he has a heart of a champ...but i just dont see him winning against pac...it would be a good fight though!

[fightingfigs]

Cotto you suck, Manny is going to beat your ass like your a drum. Enough motivation for ya? Cotto got his ass beat by one dimensional pressure fighter Margarito, how good is Cotto really? Is Cotto a ****ing fraud? Need anymore motivation Cotto? I'm your man if you do.

How is the guy who dominated Mosley an underdog?

This hype of Manny Pacquiao is getting ass backwards
