After reading all the downing of Cotto, and all the hype on Pac. Im starting to wonder, if Cotto wins would it be an upset? And if Cotto wins will all the Pac followers just say "well he was bigger (not really but) so he should have won. Instead of just saying the better man won period.
I think with all the hype on Manny now, I dont see this as a big man lil man fight, I see it even.
But you guys let me know what you think about this.

You will see all the pac huggers saying well Cotto was a the bigger fighter...
etc etc etc...

If Pac wins I will say it like it is Pac was the superior boxer. I think the only way he can win is actually boxing and running like forrest gump.

Cotto is the underdog for some reason(i think they're even),but if he wins,Im sure the Pac fans will say Cotto was supposed to win anyway cause he was bigger,so Cotto will get absolutely NO credit if he wins.....its ashame

Pacquiao's suppose to win. Vegas has him as a 2 to 1 favorite.

Manny is the favourite by quite a bit at the moment. So, yes it would be an upset if Cotto won. Though nothing shocking certainly. Cotto is a live underdog.

Only ****** boxing fans go by the books lol

If this was a rule then I would be millionaire

cotto is an "underdog" in the books cause pacquiao is more well known, therefore more people would put money on him. its kinda like the law of supply-demand. they expect people to bet on pac, so they are trying to give incentive on betting on cotto. doesn't necessarily mean he is expected to beat cotto easily.

realistically, pac-cotto should at least be 50-50 or cotto should have a slight edge. that is why betting on cotto with those odds is the smart thing to do.

Manny is suppose to win because he's beaten the odds before. If he were to fight Cotto before he fought De La Hoya or Hatton he was suppose to lose, but now he's seen as a miracle worker. He's been seen as someone who is bigger than his actual size. Godzilla.

Pacquiao is expected to win, but Cotto is supposed to win. It would be an upset if Manny losses.

I think you are wrong....

The odds favor Manny as a winner but that does not mean he is supposed to win... come on.

This is not about books this is about one fighter against another fighter and the books fail must of the time.

Is Manny supposed to win or lose?
