How the hell is Pac not a huge underdog for this fight?

[MOTHER DUCKER]

I mean seriously his last 3 fights have been very easy down mainly due to how terrible his opponents were..

Diaz? A nothing fight the easiest fight at 135
Oscar? Past his prime like 4-5 fights even before fighting Pac and coming in at 147 he was a damn Zombie.
Hatton again past it, chin was mush, training problems etc

Now Pac steps up too 147 again vs the guy who has faced LOADS off top WW Mosley, Margo, Clottey, Quintana, Jennings, Judah etc and has a good record with only 1 loss, which some would debate. He fits the weight perfectly too, Pac's last real competitive fight he really lost also.

Cotto has also handled Judah/Mosley the latter of which is a far better boxer then Pac will ever be and punches way harder but is still the underdog? Pac also got ruffled by the 2 punches Hatton threw if you go watch the fight. Unlike Hatton, Hoya, Cotto wont be chasing him around the ring neither, Cotto can quite easily fight this not being the aggressor and counter Pac all night with his timing, much like Marquez did.

Just dont understand the odds for this fight or the general feeling on this board, Pac wont win this, to say he might KO Cotto is laughable too, Mosley landed like 40%+ power shots on him ffs. Cotto by UD/KO most likely come the 14th

many reasons why he is not the underdog but I don't feel like repeating it again

[Gutz]

I'm a huge pac fan..

I believe he should be the underdog in this fight. I just dont understand how he is a 3-1 odds to win.


This is Cotto weight class.. Cotto last 3 fights he fought harder fighters. Cotto is a ****ing beast and he tough as nails.




Ohh well Ill be rooting for Pac like the ******* I am!!

[da chosen 1]

the real reason he is not the under dog is because he makes more money and they advertise him more, main stream barly knows who cotto is, thats why

The mainstream doesn't make odds. People who know boxing do. Manny has a really good chance at beating the **** out of Cotto.

[p4p-champ]

It has to do with he way he made his last two opponents look, even though they were lousy opponents. One was a skeleton and the other doesn't even know what the word defense means. Even the hype has gotten to the odds makers.

[ThePunchingBag]

A lot of Filipino money on Pacquiao distorts the odds. Pac still wouldn't be a heavy underdog.

[Freddy Krueger]

Pacquiao isn't the underdog because he is going to ****ing win the god damn fight you dumb asses. Speed kills, Pacquiao is faster has quicker feet and Pacquiao punches hard no matter what weight class. Not many fighters have made Oscar quit like a puta.

LOL mainstream doesn't make odds. The linesmakers make odds and it goes up or down depending on people betting

Like i said 2 of Cotto's biggest wins were vs very fast guys (Mosley and Judah) he has proven he can cope with fast guys with good timing. Mosley punches harder then Pac i would imagine and he landed ALOT of powershots on Cotto.

Add to the fact that Pac has never been hit by a real 147lber OR a 140 pounder for that matter, it just doesn't look that straight forward at all. I just feel Cotto has this
