Who wins? I say Pacquiao takes it with a late stoppage

 

[cahen]

My moneys on Pacquiao.

 

[dooney]

I want Manny Pacquiao to win so us fans can see this Manny vs Mayweather fight. Everybody keep saying Mayweather will lose, but I know for a fact that Mayweather will beat him and be the pound for pound best fighter

Bump

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

I love to watch Pacquiao fight, but I think that Cotto is too much of a hard hitter and too much for Manny to handle.
Everyone wants to see Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, but I think Cotto will surprise all.

I gotta say Cotto

The undercard looks decent, but nowhere near as great as Bob Arum promised it would be

Pacquiao hands down. He is as bad as they get, with a heart to go with it.

The weights are in, Pacquiao came in at 144, Cotto at 145. This is Pacquiao's highest weigh in, he hit 142 for DeLaHoya and 138 for Hatton.
I'm going to do my best Saturday night to put the results in the thread.

Pacman is taking it.
