Any boxing fans here?
I'll take the Pac-Man via 9th round knockout.
It should be a great fight.

I'm a big boxing fan. I've been looking forward to this one since it's been announced. I don't dislike either fighter and while I want to see the megafight between Mayweather and Pacquiao......Cotto is my favorite active boxer. That being said, I think Pac-Man takes this one. He's the best P4P IMO. I'll be rooting for Cotto though but above all I want to see an exciting and competitive fight and this one has that written all over it.

I no nothing about boxing, but I'm going Cotto. I think the jump in size (this time) is too much for Pacquiao.

Cotto can't take a punch--when he gets hurt he will give up--worried too much about his face

Cotto has been knocked down twice already. He started off strong, but he's been abused the last 2 rounds.

Cotto is a mess. Good fight for Pacquiao.

I had it 108-99, Pacquiao after 11 rounds but the referee stopped it in the 12th round.
"We want Floyd" chants from the crowd after the fight.

Pacquiao's hand speed is incredible. The only way that Pacquiao-Mayweather doesn't take place is if Mayweather doesn't want it to take place. Pac-Man's power is underrated as well. What a performance tonight by Manny.

Disclaimer: The following is not trying to say UFC is better than Boxing. Both sports have great athletes and are compelling to watch.
Boxing as a sport needs to fire whoever they have on their collective marketing teams. They continue to get killed by UFC. Anytime a compelling boxing PPV comes along the UFC either has a compelling free card or an impossibly stacked card.

I don't watch a ton of fights, but I can't remember one where someone took such a beating right from the start and made it all the way to the 12th. Props to Cotto for hanging in there. i wouldn't be surprised if FMM doesn't want to fight pac man. he won't actually say it obviously but he'll come up with an excuse.
