    That's the difference. May-Castillo2 was hard to watch without falling asleep. Now I can't sleep before the fight started.
    He lost to Castillo 1 fight imo.

    I like Pac, but hes going to lose, i think. Funny, that he's like +250 favorite, but Hopkins-ODLH has allmost opposite for a small gyu.
    Oscar made way 130-157. Pac made 112-145. It's too much. BTW nobody hates OScar for pushing 156 to Bhop. Why so many hate to pacman?

    What's so special about this fight? You ask...

    Is this some kinda attention ***** type question or what???

    I'll tell you basically what both Manny Steward & Bert Sugar said last night on NY Sports Talk Radio...

    Both fighters are World Class, in their Prime, both technically good fighters with power, and both are Warriors.

    Really, what more can you ask for in Boxing besides a silly question like you thought up?

    :deal

    It's a rhetoric question & I answerred myself:
    Most p4p going for the money they don't give a **** about their fans. Pac & Cotto will fight to death till the end! You can feel if in the air. Floyd's fights never gonna be so electroduced.

    this is the type of fight that we're gonna be talking about for years to come. I see no way way this won't be a great fight. I want my man PAc to win, but I know it is to close to call.

    I knew he was going to embarrass Oscar. and I knew he destroy Hatton.

    But Cotto, don't have that confidence. But thats a good thing. This will be one for the ages

    Pacman and Cotto come to fight and it is hard to see either guy lose.

    I love the fight and I don't think it's too bad of an idea that it's at 145. But I agree that it shouldn't be for the belt. What's the point of the 147 limit then?

    I disagree that Cotto was FORCED to do it though. He never was.

    Yeah ok maybe there was a little hyperbole there when i used the word forced lol.

    But we all know Cotto would have preferred 147 to 145. Its up to Manny and Roach what Manny weighs in at but they restricted cotto on purpose which is why I begrudge people mentioning bonafied WW, tested at WW. No it was and always will be a catchweight, Im taking nothing away from the win as it was awesome! but not a WW win imo
