no. you were quite astute in your initial response. I just think boxing has become unwatchable. the sports soured for me about 8 years ago, and im very cynical and angry towards it. and the little guys floppin mits, pointing eachother for 36 minutes doesn't do anything for me.
its like the NBA for me but worse, because severe greed and corruption is what ended this once great sport.

Boxing has absolutely gone downhill. I look forward to MMA more nowdays.

But as mentioned, these are two powerful, athletic action fighters that come forward. Both at or near the top of the pound-for-pound list. They're always exciting. You get your money's worth when they fight.

i think pacman will take it. he's too damn good defensively, but if he takes to many of those power shots from cotto, he's done. keep in mind though manny is very underrated power wise.

Manny has big power. But does he truly have '147' power? He beat up Oscar badly, but does he have the power to really hurt the top guys in that division? That's what I want to see with my own eyes.

Cotto does get hit. And Manny is really quick and accurate. But Cotto quick himself and is a tough guy, and just wears people down to a pulp.

Can't wait for this fight.

cotto takes alot of shots. during the margarito fight he took alot of shots. I think he tries absorbing too much.

Well admittedly I watch PPV's at my favorite establishment. So it costs me dinner and drinks. ;)

He does. He got hit a bunch against Mosley as well. Eventually it'll catch up to him if he doesn't become better on defense.

To his credit though, the first six or so rounds he was outstanding in that fight. I believe that Margarito had loaded gloves in that fight too.

As such, this fight will answer a lot of questions that have resulted from that fight i.e. was Cotto 'exposed' (for lack of a better word) or largely cheated?

or you could watch those chubby ufc fighters stand around and slap fight. LMFAO

BOXING IS KING!!!

PACMAN is far too skilled and fast for a one dementional Cotto will will never get to Pacman. Pacman will beat the breaks off of Cotto!! Pacman vs Mayweather..... Who Knows I think Sugar Shane, Andre Berto, Juan Urango, Luis Collazo, Timothy Bradley, They all would make great fights with Pacman.... cuz Pacman is the man! Word

F Margarito!

F Margarito!

just had to say it again!

WAR PACMAN!!

Pacquiao has great entrance music lol

wow! that was an awesome round

wow, so much is said about pacquiao's speed, but his precision is spot on

Cotto got knocked silly.

He's still not right.
