The Official Miguel Cotto-Canelo Alvarez Master Thread

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

One week And One Big Ay Bendito !

[JmH Reborn]

I agree. If you just look at Canelo at the end of the Mayweather fight he just looks awful. I know he's fighting Floyd Mayweather, but he didn't look great in the second half of either the Trout or Mosley fights. You could make an argument about the open scoring on the Trout fight though.

I also agree with you in regards to Canelo's trainers. I think he's let sentiment carry his trainers up the ranks with him when he probably could have coldly cut them for more prosperous trainers by now. I also think this is part of Adrian Broners problem , other than the fact he's a total a**hole.

I say all of this but the reality of the matter is that I'm a Cotto fan. Always have been. It is unrealistic to believe I'm not allowing sentiment to cloud my judgement. How bad would it suck if it was a draw?

A draw implies that Cotto did indeed have his one last great performance in him, beating a guy bigger, stronger, faster and younger than him who happens to be in his physical prime. A draw means we had a great fight and that we'd certainly get a second fight.

Except in the second fight...Canelo takes it. I think Cotto is giving everything he has for this fight. Too many wars, too many years at a high level. As a fan of both, a draw would be a happy ending for me. A win for either is sorta bittersweet from my end. The sentimental choice for me is Cotto, the logical choice is Canelo - a Cotto wins means another stamp on a career full of great moments. A Canelo win means that the future is here. Tbh, if Canelo loses straight up - then I fear his ceiling is reached - I mean, that would mean he would have lost to the two best fighters he faced; which isn't necessarily a bad thing - except in this case, they were both way way past prime and smaller than him; which doens't bode well swimming in the 160 tank

Ala Tommy Hearns. Although I don't know if I'd say Leonard was past his prime when they fought. That was a bit before my time.
