    Anybody remember the odds for Oscar - Shane 1?

    Berto - Ortiz ?

    Odds are public perception half the time and the more popular fighter tends to be favored a lot.


    Anybody who knows their boxing knows that Bradley - Pac has a higher possibility of being spoiled than Cotto - Floyd. Nobody who isn't an absolute cotto fanatic or Floyd hater truly believes Cotto beats Floyd barring some unforeseen (and damn near impossible) one punch KO. Some people think Bradley is more skilled than Pac..NOBODY thinks Cotto is more skilled than Floyd. They're both heavily favored, with good reason. But the outcome for Floyd - Cotto seems almost set in stone.
    It's not just dependent on "skill", it depends on who lands the most and most damaging punches. And that has to be Pacquiao. He has the biggest global reputation, and if helost, you'd see the news shock travel around the world. Mayweather, good as he is, is just not on that newsworthy level.

      whachu got???
      Cotto WITHOUT a doubt.

      I CAN'T see how a guy who struggled to beat Clottey (many thought he lost) can beat Convict Junior.

      Maybe a lucky punch to the liver...

        All four Boxers are World Champions;

        But, only Three of them are among Top Ten PFP;

        Cotto isn't among the Top Ten,

        Therefore, in my opinion, The Bigger Upset is Cotto Over Mayweather Jr.;

        Beating an UNDEFEATED Mayweather Jr is indeed a bigger upset.

          Bradley beating Pacquiao, cause Bradley is pretty weak.

              Big upset on both sides but to see Floyd have a
              one next to his forty two will be more shocking
              plus didn't Pacquiao loose to Juan Manuel Marquez
              last November?

                Floyd losing for the first time will be like a shot heard around the world! I excpect Bradley to win anyway so no suprise if Pac loses.

                  Obviously Cotto over Mayweather.

                    Cotto beating Floyd would be a bigger upset IMO. I think Bardley is better than Pac so wont consider that a shock.

                    Casual fans might think Pac losing would be a bigger upset because they recognise Cottos name and dont know Bradley but die hard fans know that Bradley is capable of beating Manny and Cotto has a very tough ask against a man that usually win his fights with plenty to spare.

                      Sorry but another lie, If Pac lost here not too many people would even know, But if Mayweather loses more people would know on this side of the world, Am not sure which world you live in but in my part of the world (UK) Mayweather is more well known to people in the UK than Pacquiao, And am not even going to debate this with Manchester hatton fanatics or Phillipinos who live over here.
