Anyone else not that excited about the mega fight this weekend?

I am always excited when 2 top fighters are fighting each and is a 50/50 fight.

I am more exciteda about this fight then Pac-Hatton. Since I didn't think Hatton had much of a chance.

this is one of those special rare fights where controversy is not needed to sell the fight. don't get me wrong, i do get more excited when there's trash talking involved, controversy always hypes you up. however, this fight is so big itself, just the thought of these two fighting in the same ring sells the fight.

they are both very good and well accomplished fighters. the names and their reputations alone sell the fight. it sounds good on paper but sadly it'll be an embarrassing, devastating defeat for pacquiao.

Come on guys! only the Mayweathers and sorry loser DLH are not excited about this fight and you need to understand them.

As for the poster. hhhmmm I think he is Gayweather himself posting at BoxingScene....

Cotto weight drained or not, the guy is a tough fighter and has it in him to win.

Remember though that Cotto was 146 VS cLOTTEY AND Clottey is a good fighter. Hard style to break down

I hate to sound negative, but since this fight was first mentioned as a possibility, it hasn't moved me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge boxing fan and I will order the fight, but this whole promotion is just blah to me. That could have something to do with the fact that I'm far from a fan of Pacquiao or Cotto. Still, I was looking much more forward to Pacquiao vs. Hatton and Cotto vs. Clottey in comparison to this match-up. For the rest of the year, I'm also more excited for Ward vs. Kessler, Williams vs. Martinez, and Bradley vs. Peterson than this so called "mega fight".

This match doesn't prove very much in my opinion. Cotto isn't the same after Margarito pounded on him, and his win over Clottey had more to with Clottey's lack of activity than anything else. Then, Manny challenges the already broken fighter at a 145 pound catchweight, when Cotto's weight struggles have already been well documented. This does nothing to determine who the best welterweight in the world is.

I'm pulling for Cotto, but not passionately. In reality I don't know who will win, and I don't really care. I'm glad this fight has been getting as much attention as it has though, because it's great for the sport. I just wish that the awful 24/7, the daily training camp and sparring diaries, the Roach vs. Santiago storyline, the (wretched) undercard or something else could have helped with my anticipation.

From the look of the boards, I doubt anyone else lacks excitement for this event. But if you do, please speak on it...

dude, i've been excited since they signed the fight
