As for the fight. Well, I think Manny is being built up on his great wins over the almighty David Diaz, needle marked DLH and "Ooh, I forgot to open my skull and put my brain in" Hatton. Whereas, Cotto lost to Margarito and had a close scrap with Clottey.

I can understand why Manny is favourite, but I give Cotto a very decent shot at knocking ten bales of hay out of the weird dwarf. Cotto is significantly bigger than Hatton, hits harder and can actually keep his hands up a fair bit. I would love to see how Manny takes Cotto's shots.

I'm hoping for Manny to be blown out of the ring and hopefully into orbit never to be seen again.
This is the initial odds and it could even up or widen come fight time. I remember Pacquiao-Hatton widen to almost 3 to 1 after the weigh in.
