Depends upon which you're looking for. B-Hop/Tarver will probably the more boring of the 2 simply because it's 2 power punchers who are cautious. Cotto/Paulie isn't going to be too exciting I think either. But I've been wrong before.......... just not often.

If you're into that mature type action, you should watch Hopkins vs. Tarver.

Hopkins/Tarver.....i have a feeling and hopefully Hopkins do put on an exciting and legendary performance since its his last fight and he tryin to get that LH title.....

hopkins vs tarver fight will be by far the fight of the night the cotto fight will be another cotto getting hurt but coming back and winning the fight most likly

I think people are being very unrealistic about hopkins,expecting him to come in aggressively and kick ass.Wether you think he'll win or lose,I dont see why you should expectt him to fight any diffrently than he has recently.

Hopkins/Tarver is far more significant.

Cotto/Malignaggi is a Boxing After Dark if HBO hadn't booked the night already...

Of course I'll watch them both, but the Hopkins fight has potential historical significance - whereas the other only is one people remember if Malignaggi uses this as his "Here I Am" fight and goes on a big winning streak...

No middleweight has taken the lt. heavyweight title from the recognized champ in his first fight in the division - says the directv preshow

cotto-malignaggi is just a "someone's 0 has got to go" fight
