    How can people say cotto was shot or weigh-drained? he actually did very good in the first couple of rounds and looked in great physical shape, Unfortunately for him it got worse when pacquiao started to land more and more and more punches wich broke him down. For me its a classic example of domination an oponnent who brought his A game. It desereves full credit.

    Mosley on the other hand looked like **** just after two rounds and it had nothing to do with being punished by his oponnent. He just stopped fighting, And dont tell me its all caused by Pbf countershots etc cuz i ve seen mosley fights with winky and forrest and even tho he was losing and taking far more punishment (1st forrest fight) he was still trying and still landing his punches,he simply wasnt afraid to get hit to land his own shots which wasnt the case against pfb.

    Option nr 2.

    how many people even thought he'd win the fight, let alone beat him up like a bad child

    Floyd over Mosley. No catch weight and it was for the linear WW championship.

    Just goes to show how much people actually expect of pac.

    Floyd on the other hand will always be favourite even against the fighter of the decade.

    odds of pac-floyd is almost even and just slightly for floyd just because he is the naturally bigger guy.

    He has been an underdog for the majority of some of his greatest wins. that's what makes his victories all the more impressive. if pac-tony had been announced 2 years ago you wouldve gotten laughed at for favoring pac.

    its close but gotta go with Floyd's win....no catch weight and Mosley was seen as Floyd's Kryptonite.

    I seen what i always have seen in the Pac and Cotto fight from both fighters.

    In the Mosley fight.....no one expected a shut out...everyone thought if Mosley hit him with a good clean shot he would KO Floyd everyone thought he would run a lot of people question Floyd's heart.....we got a lot of answers from Mosley vs Floyd rather than Pac vs Cotto.

    Please don't make up stuff, how do you know it has anything to do with the size.

    If size was the issue why is pac 1/8 against beating margo who is twice his size?

    If i put a 100 quid on pac i would make 12 pound back.

    2 years ago there was no mention of catch weights concerning pac.

    margo is not on the same level of pac and floyd. so a great small man would be the betting favorite against a good bigger man. but once a great bigger man fought a great smaller man, it is amazing that the odd is almost close.

    Before the fight, this board was pretty much divided on the Pacman/Cotto fight. That was not the case for the Mosley/PBF fight.

    Pac vs Cotto..

    just the way Pac Dominated Cotto whose odds for the fight were like 50/50 is just magic

    Mayweather vs Mosley, Mayweather beat the top welterweight. Pac made Cotto go down to 145. losing 2 lbs. of muscle is devastating when you're already cutting weight to be solid at 147. i don't see how people give Pac full credit for the Cotto fight. Pac beating Cotto at 147 would've been a different story though. 2 lbs. make a difference people. Yes!!!! it did weaken him.
