    More surprised at the way Pacquiao lost them him losing. I just thought Marquez would out box him. I guess I'm more surprised that Cotto actually lost.

    Well, JMM isn't your typical 39 y.o. ring practitioner.

    But yes, the fact that it was an abrupt conclusion was a stunner.

    Berto because he's the most skilled and talented of the three.

    I have to agree with this one, Pac had already lost to Jmm by schooling and Cotto neh. I did not expect Guerrero to beat Berto the way he did or beat him at all.

    All of Pac-Marquez matches were close, Marquez was the unofficial winner of the last one so it was a 50/50 fight with another controversial decission as the most probable outcome, it's just that nobody expected such a shocking conclussion

    Guerrero and Trout on the other hand were massive underdogs, specially Ghost, almost nobody was giving him a chance against the supposedly much stronger and faster Berto, he sure as hell silenced everybody who underestimated him
