Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather, Marquez: a half year of fans' predictions

The 4th of July weekend marks a celebration of the birth of a revolutionary, freedom-inclined country in North America.

Memorable moments

The 4th of July weekend also represents the halfway point for 2009, a memorable period in the celebrity world that saw the passing (and deaths) of Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and of course, the King of Pop Michael Jackson. The latter has provided an outpouring of sorrow and tributes - a shadowy valley after the peaks and highs of recent prize fighting performances by Juan Manuel Lopez, Manny Pacquiao, Vladimir Klitschko, and Miguel Cotto.

So back to boxing.

Recapping boxing fans' predictions

Thousands of fight fans provided their predictions and thoughts on fights.

Your predictions

Most of you think that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will beat Juan Manuel Marquez, a fight that has been rescheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas. That would have to be the majority assessment, although Marquez certainly can give the "Pretty Boy" fits, especially if the Mexican wants to take it to the distance and try to eke out a decision victory. And why not? You consider Marquez has Golden Boy Promotions' best fighter.

But you guys don't really want to see that fight. Ha! You will watch it anyway!
