So, the date for Cotto's 5th professional defeat has finally been confirmed.

I'm looking forward to this fight. Though I don't like how some people are saying it's as big as Pacquiao-Mayweather.

People aren't comparing the two fights directly, but I hear the term "mega fight" and "super fight" tossed around a lot for Cotto-Canelo. Emm, a "mega fight" is what Pacquiao-Mayweather was, this fight isn't near that level.

Oh man this is one of those fights where I don't root for anybody, maybe Canelo a little bit more. But I just can't wait to see this one. It'll be so good!
