    Pretty Boy is still the odds on favourite with the bookies to beat Pacman, even after the Pac v Cotto fight, this seems lost on a lot of posters, that most experts think that Mayweather will beat Pacman.
    As regards the odds, Pacman will be the 'housewifes choice', meaning that the weight of the publics money will be going onto Pacman for two reasons most punters would rather Pac win, plus his odds will be very attractive, the reason Pretty Boy is the favourite is the experts advising the bookmakers fully expect Mayweather to beat Pacman.

    I personally think that Mayweather will box rings around Manny and win approximately 116-113 on each of the scorecards.

    I was hoping Pac would open up as the fav. I would put a bunch of money on Floyd.

    PBF could win, Cotto was able to outbox Pac in the early rds but was caught when he tried to trade which messed him up and the second half of the fight was one sided.

    i don't like Mayweather as role model but after watching last nights fight i believe he has the tools to beat manny cause when cotto was boxing he had pac confuse i mean he would make him miss but he wouldn't capitalize and make him pay and mayweather has all the tools to do that

    The irony is, just as JMM did, Cotto in the moments where he remembered the gameplan and executed it well, showed us exactly why Mayweather Jr wouldn't have issues with Pacquaio the same way everyone else has.

    Cotto when using the jab and using distance, had Pacquaio in fits and was landing at will. Mayweather happens to be much faster, never gets drawn into the ego/machismo fight when in the centre of the ring and has the ability to count all night - proven time and time again.

    His style will never lose to Pacquaio unless Pacquaio lands something big and finishes it, even then, I think Floyd has a decent chin at this weight.
