    Anybody taking Cotto +550?

    Cotto is a damn good fighter. Was considered one of the best up-and-comers a few years ago. The guy can flat out punch. Mayweather will probably win but there's a lot of distractions for Pretty Boy coming into this fight.

    I might roll the dice with Cotto here. He can win this fight but he'll need to do it by knockout.

    No way the boxing world would let 3 years pass without a potential 150mil fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao. Oh wait...

    He's gonna win, don't listen to these jokers that say it can't happen. It's boxing and it's time for a big upset in a big fight

    Mayweather has beaten one guy at this weight, an old de la hoya

    Mayweather rolls in this one. However you should always take a dog of more than 3to1 in pro boxing as anything can happen and mathematically you will win a slight amount in the long run. Hope to see a competitive fight!

    miguel cotto doesn't have the speed to beat mayweather

    and even if he does by some miracle and it goes to decision mayweather will end up winning by points

    People who bet Cotto are doing it for the high return. If he pulls an upset they proclaim themselves to be sharp and when he loses they can say they just liked the odds.

    Milwaukee Mike will be the only one with enough balls to put a decent amount on Cotto.

    Unless Mayweather gets old over night Cotto will get cut and battered badly. Everybody criticizes Floyd's opponents but Victor Ortiz is better than Margarito with one eye and no loaded gloves, an old Mayorga, and an all hype Yuri Foreman who couldn't punch himself out of a wet paper bag. Squares who know nothing about boxing see Cotto's big name and assume he has a chance but truth is Cotto is shop worn and his best days are past him. The Miguel Cotto who beat a prime Shane Mosley had a chance but after the beatings he got from Marg's loaded gloves and Pac Man he isn't the same. Mayweather might even stop him because Cotto cuts and has some serious scar tissue.

    If anyone wins the fight by stoppage, it will be Floyd. He's got four weeks to heal before doing an 87-day sentence. Aside from that situation, I'm torn on whether he will coast to a UD or press a KO. As he's getting older, I think we'll see him look to outdo himself as he knows his window is closing.

    BTW, you do realize Floyd hasn't ever been floored by an opponent in his pro career? He's injured his hand in one bout and also slipped, but the dude's never actually tasted leather and took a count.

    Mayweather wins by decision at -135 is best play for the fight.

    ya is this not the unanimous no brainer play for everyone? mayweather by decision at -135. I'm going to put $500 on that. GL to those who are hoping for the lottery win with cotto though.

    Well, technically... Floyd should have had a knockdown called against him when his glove touched the mat against Zab Judah.

    Heard it all before, Mayweather's distracted by the Pac fight, he's overlooking so and so. No. Mayweather is a consummate professional who will not let anything get in the way of this. Cotto's good and May won't stop him, especially at 154 but in no way will Cotto win. As good as impossible in my opinion, Cotto has literally no advantages except maybe power. Even then he couldn't take out a faded Mayorga and was graced with bionic eye Margarito.

    floyd has to be the most irritating man on the planet and he annoys the shit out of me too, but unfortunately there is no way he is getting shelled or embarassed. Something I can't deny or disrespect is his boxing ability specifically his amazing counter punching and defensive skill set which makes him a near lock against anyone he fights.

    I guess.

    I just expect more out of an all time great. You would never see Byrd, Gretzky, Jordan, Magic, etc. parading around with "gangstas" and calling themselves team money.

    unfortunately, the line just about makes cotto or the total rds. the only plays for any recreational gambler ... pretty stellar list of victories for the guy, so him winning wouldnt be the biggest shock ive ever seen, even if the market keeps telling us there is not much value in playing him... just like last weeks huge -1550 fav that got tko'd on friday night fights, anything can happen, so good luck to you guys who are throwing a few bucks on him for the heck of it ...fwiw, i am very heavy on Over 9.5 rds (-230)... gl
