Pac drained Cotto down to 145 lbs which made a big difference and is suspect of using PEDs, while Mayweather went to 154 to face him. That's why Mayweather is the best Cotto fought.
If this fight gets to the fourth round, it'll be Kirkland by KO. Alvarez's best chance is to KO Kirkland early as Alvarez tends to gas mid fight when pressured, from what I've seen from him.
HBO did a Horrible job last night. Lederman needs to be fired. Most of the fights his scores I don't know what his seeing. When fights are close he starts giving a fighter rounds the other fighter won to even the score. He's a joke.

It's funny how there's one or two dudes trying to defend Margarito. The guy's a cheater who got caught and should have been banned for life. I wonder how much money Bob Arum had to pay to allow this cheater to continue in the sport.
While this article makes sense from a size perspective it fails to mention Pacquaio's ever increasing power as he was going up in weight. That is unusual. Usually a fighter that goes up in weight don't carry the same power and Pacquaio was knocking people out left and right or making them quit from too much punishment as he was going up in weight. When Pacquiao was fighting at 126 would you have believed it if somebody told you he was going to knock down freaking Shane Mosley who was fighting at 154-160 to the point of making him being scared to death? and then say he had never been hit as hard as that.
8-4 Algieri. I saw some people in the official thread give the first round to Khan when Algieri clearly landed the best punch which hurt Khan, plus its was a close round to begin with.
