    I am looking at the odds for this fight and I only got -260 fo Pac. Seems kind of high for him fighting a bigger stronger fighter like Cotto.

    I bet on him at -260, but I still have my doubts on him winning.

    I bet all the big fights even it's just 20 dollars I know what the odds mean. I was just making a mistake.

    I have my money bet on Pac, but wish I would have got better odds, because I think Cotto has a good shot at this. I hope not, but I still question Pac above 135. I know he has fought two brilliant fights above there, but a shot ODH and a kind of good Ricky are not enough to make me believe. I hope he beats Cotto so we can finally get Mayweather v Pac.

    If I were a betting man I'd go heavy on Cotto with these odds.

    This fight is starting to remind me a lot of Hopkins vs. Trinidad.

    Cotto is a country mile better than Hatton and that version of DLH. Cotto has a chance here and Pac should not be a close to 3-1. I like Pac here because of his speed and straight punches. Pac has a good D unlike Mosely who eats jabs like Jenna Jameson eats sperm cells.

    I'm struggling not to have a bet on Cotto at the current odds. I don't really think he'll win, but the value is definitely there IMHO.

    -260 on pac is not good odds for a bet on Pac. I would only take odds like that in a "sure thing" situation. There is no way in hell that Pac should be anywhere close to 3-1. I don't bet, but if I was going to bet on this fight it would be on Cotto, much better value there.
