Who does a loss hurt more? Cotto or Pac?

[Dorian]

After Pacman stops Cotto it wont be easy on him but atleast it was against the p4p king, and a guy who destroyd his last opponents so..

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

The loss would hurt Pacquiao much, much more. If Cotto loses, he would have lost to the best pound4pound fighter in the world and he still would get a lot of other fights coming his way.

If Pacquiao loses, his super fight with Mayweather (That's if Mayweather wins as expected) would be off.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather is something boxing wants and some may even argue NEEDS. So I think that Pacquaio and Mayweather are both being set up with beatable opponents so the talks can begin for a super fight between the two.

[FLY TY]

BOTH.

pacman loses, he can forget the MEGA-fight with mayweather....

cotto loses, ppl will say his career is over....

important fight for both fighters.

[Pullcounter]

Then why is Pacquiao favorite and Cotto the underdog???

because casual sport fans don't know that cotto has 10 lbs on pac.

c'mon! cotto has no business losing to a former 106 lbser.

Come on man, that's not even the same guy, you know this. In most cases I would say moving up in weight is a disadvantage but not in this one. Pac has the speed, power and quickness to really give Cotto fits.

Pac vs Mayweather is what the people want, you know this.

c'mon man, nobody under 147 lbs should be giving cotto a tough fight!

[Easy-E]

Pac, he will lose his fighter of the decade support, and his top 50 atg support by losing to Miguel, who is nowhere near that level.

Unless his name is Pacquiao...

I'm not sure here. I don't think either losing will be a big blow in terms of making fights in the future. Like others have stated, Manny and Cotto still have other options afterwards after a loss. Remember once you have a name in boxing its good for a while to keep gettting fights no matter what, see Judah/DLH.

I think the real question is how will it affect them as fighters? We have seen Taylor no longer the same after his KO to Pavlik. I can sense a little self doubt in him and the same goes for Cotto. Its going to depend on how strong mentally each guy is.
