Spinch, am I wrong about Sosa not being a helluva value play?

[almly]

The line at Olympic is kind of a rip off but they have Cotto at like -1025 and Sosa at +625.
Sosa has at least proven that he can fight well against great competition. Cotto on the other hand hasnt proven sh!t. I think Sosa is a pretty damn good value play. Am I right or am I wrong Spinch?

i can see someone taking a flyer on sosa at ridiculous odds....i think i got something like 10-1 on it awhile back.....for just a couple bucks...probably a throw away...

honestly,though,i think cotto is the real deal....he has impeccable amateur credentials....and seems to have some serious game....a brutal body puncher....

sosa`s o.k....durable....but i saw him basically lose to lamar murphy.....and he couldn`t beat paul spadafora(who i think was a protected guy in a very weak division)even though he should have stopped him....

sosa is a bit stiff....and not a huge puncher,regardless of the k.o. stats...i believe he was a lightweight for a good part of his career......the only reason that i threw a few bucks on it was that,much as you indicated,i thoutght 10-1 was way outta line...i also remember another tall stiff guy(cesar bazan)giving cotto some trouble.......

but,i really don`t see him winning......

cotto looks like a star in the making...

I thought Sosa fought a damn good competitive fight against Mayweather. This is the first time Cotto is fighting anywhere near a quality opponent. He hasnt proven anything - I dont care how good he looks against tomato cans or washed up guys like Bazan. Sosa at least has proven he can fight a quality fight against a quality fighter which is a lot more than Cotto can say.

I know Cotto is young but I think there is a reason why he is so protected and being brought along so slowly. He's beatable.
