Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the bout boxing fans need to see to determine - once and for all - who's the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today. With Mayweather fighting Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19, boxing fans will instead get the bout that most want to see.
Manny Pacquiao will meet Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada. Neither Pacquiao nor Cotto is ever in a dull fight. The two in the ring together is certain to produce fireworks. The bout - at a mutually agreed upon weight limit of 145 pounds - will be shown on HBO pay-per-view. Financial terms were not disclosed but Pacquiao will reportedly receive more than 50% of the money.

So who do you think will win the fight? Pacquiao or Cotto?
