Best Bull**** PPV This year of 2011

I have a soft spot for Ricardo Mayorga and it's arguable for a "Cotto tuneup" since he's coming off surgery. Although, Cotto should have fought Martinez in March.
Maidana is coming off a loss and it's a good rebound fight. It shows Erik Morales is serious about his comeback and not just looking for a payday against fodder or someone big like JMM. I don't think Morales has a shot in hell, but this might be the one that could cause an upset.
Mosley-Pacquiao on the other hand. Mosley hasn't looked good in his last two fights. Pacquiao has been a non stop train blowing through people right and left. Mosley certainly hasnt done anything to deserve that shot. The only thing that gives this some credibility is that:
1. Showtime promoting it gives it an interesting angle.
2. Mosley is a lot better of a fighter at 147 then he is at 154.Comment

I would have to go with the morales fight. I mean maidana just fought khan on free hbo yet is fight with a past it morales is on PPV? doesnt make much sence to me. Not that the others are much better though.Comment

On the face of it they are all bull.
But I think they'll be entertaining fights, wouldn't pay for any of them though.Comment

I would give Morales a better shot to beat Maidana than Shane to beat Pac.When has Pacquiao turned in a performance that wasn't fan friendly? Pacquiao/Mosley is not going to be a boxing match. Pacquiao is going to take it to Mosley, and Mosley is going to take it to Pacquiao. And unlike Morales and Mayorga, Mosley at least has a chance (albeit a slim one).
I feel bad for anyone who thinks Morales/Maidana and Cotto/Mayorga will be more entertaining than the Pacquiao/Mosley fight. Mayorga's excitement post Vernon Forrest have all been in the pre-fight and not the actual fight itself. And Erik is a warrior, but he's way past it. I don't mind watching Cotto put the beat down on Mayorga, but I'm not too enthusiastic about watching one of the recent greats in Morales get mauled by someone like Maidana.Comment
