Is it an upset if Cotto wins or if Pacquiao wins

[guzi815]

Obviously alot of people who doubt Miguel Cotto haven't really followed him throughout his career. You would know that Cotto is a "Pressure" fighter. Loves to stalk and smother his opponent with blistering stiff jabs, and a wicked "left-hook-to-the-body". Margarito, Clottey, and even Mosely gave him fits because "THEY" did the stalking, something Cotto does not like and can't do well is fight going backwards. Manny Pacquiao "IS NOT" a pressure fighter, more of a "in-and-out" fighter, and giving Cotto all the confidence he needs to **** away. True, Pac is going to bounce, move, and side step, and avoid getting cornered, but he can't and won't avoid Cotto after the 6th round. He's gonna have to trade, and that is where he'll feel Cotto is too strong, and CAN'T KEEP HIM OFF.

Manny Pacquiao will have the better of the exchanges, but Cotto wears him down at the end.

If you watched the Hatton fight, Manny fought going backwards at times. So no, Manny is far from one dimensional pressure fighter.

Goin directly backwards against the guy who only come straight forward.

It's not really a noticeable upset either way, it's one of those fights where unless Pac or Cotto obliterates the other, no one should be too surprised.

Agreed 100%...

Cotto is a very good fighter, but one of the reasons he is an underdog in this fight is the fact that ppl can see how talentedly fast manny is with his feet and fist.

Cotto might be the underdog just because of the beating Pac put on HAtton and maybe old dehydrated OScar. SO people over hype Pac too much to even think he is that much above Cotto's level.

For some reason people are thinking it was easy for Cotto to fight with only one eye from round 3 to 12 and still pull it off. We all know how casual fans think.

cottos been losing steem, his batttles have taking a toll on him, while pacquiao is fresh from two easy fights and should adjust to the weight better than in his two previous fights.
Manny will win easy than go on to fight a fresh Mayweather.

Cotto is a 2 to one underdog I think. But it is a winnable fight for him

[..WaRSpencE..]

I honestly don't see how Cotto is the underdog. He neutralizes speed better than anyone in the game. He's bigger than Pacquiao, hits harder, and he's just as intelligent in the ring as Pac. What makes Pac the favorite exactly? I think every thing you can think of, Cotto counters/neutralizes.

I'd say Cotto is smarter in the ring..his ring generalship and boxing intelligence ****s on Pacquiao's IMO..

I agree on everything else..and also don't understand how Cotto is the underdog..I believe it's the hype that carries those odds..Cotto isn't really recognized as much as Pacquiao..even tho he is more skilled and much bigger!..
