Canelo never takes advantage of his size....cotto boxes circles around him

Figure Miguel to keep it interesting for the first 4 stanzas.
Beyond that his stamina and focus will betray him.
The younger hunter will evict what remains of a once great athlete.

Canelo is notorious for poor conditioning

This the first time Pacuqiao made a concrete prediction, doesn't he usually stay neutral and say things like so and so can win or give a difficult fight?

Never recalled him every clearly backing some and predicting an outcome for them like this.

Most I ever heard was I support so and so, but no prediction.

I got Cotto winning a decision as well, Canelo doesn't pressure fight at all. Only way to really beat Cotto is to walk him down and bully him.

I can also see Canelo getting a gift decision against Cotto, and Cotto being robbed.

The closer the fight gets and the more i think about it, Cottos chances improve. Look at their weaknesses, Cotto has had trouble with pressure in the past, Canelo has had trouble with movement....so, how do we think thatll play out? Then u have the Roach factor which paired with Cotto is a thing of beauty...the biggest factor for me is Canelo being an underrated counter puncher. Canelo all day.

I literally can't pick a winner for this fight. Vegas has Canelo listed as a favorite (-245 Canelo/+205 Cotto). What I'm more interested in is how did Klitschko lightly tear a calf muscle so the fight was pushed back a month and Wladimir went from being a -425 favorite to an even bigger favorite at -500 ?! I really wish I knew what all of these oddsmakers do from inside the camps. That is useful.

Am I the only Puertorican who accept the fact that Cotto doesn’t stand a chance against the much younger, bigger, and stronger gingerboy? This is a fairytale and it will end on Nov 21.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I think most Puerto Ricans know it is a tough fight for Cotto we are just rooting for our favorite fighter to win. And most people regardless of who they are rooting for (including the expert's ) believe it's a 50/50 fight therefore the possibility of Cotto winning is far from being a fairytale. But again your entitled to have your own opinion.

My honest opinion....I will personally be rooting for Cotto. However I see Cotto outboxing Canelo the majority of the first half of the fight. Cotto isn't known for his endurance and Canelo is naturally the bigger fighter of the 2. I do see Canelo taking over the second half of the fight and winning a decision.

Why is this even news?? they are in the same camp

[SplitSecond]

Very high possibility. My only problem is GBP is making boxing real fun and I don't want them to regret it. Hopefully they get some more new blood so we can keep these great fights coming.
