Has anyone changed who they're rooting for in Canelo-Cotto?

    I've went back and forth since the fight was announced but started to lean towards Canelo just because I thought he had a better chance of fighting GGG.

    It sucks that now it seems he wants no part of GGG if he wins either.

    They should just vacate that belt now and stop holding GGG's career up more than its already been.

    The Cotto/Canelo fight needs no belt, why are they being selfish and fighting for it while both still claiming they aren't middleweights???

      Not a fan of either but I'm a huge fan of this fight. This is modern boxing at it's best. Old guard vs new blood. Mex v Pr. Don't care who wins. Just looking forward to seeing how this intriguing matchup unfolds.

        I share basically the same opinion, still mostly rooting for Canelo, but I didn't like his comments about the 155 catchweight. I thought he would be more willing to fight GGG if he won the fight, but that doesn't seem to be the case so **** him.

          I've been watching Cotto for 15 years. He's a tough customer every time out and does his best. He's a good boxer-puncher as well as a good finisher when he can. The Judah fight impressed me, despite the fouls. Cotto was dirty back then, not that much these days.

          On the other hand, Canelo is also a special fighter. I like him more than Cotto because I like to see boxing skills with Special Effects. Many fighters have no special effects or they don't show it. People are not watching to see you kill each other, they tune in to see heart, skills, special effects (attitude and skill in the ring). Canelo has this.

          I never tune into boxing to see someone killed or some robotic bull**** against no hopers.

          Finally, I think both Cotto and Canelo should move down after their fight, relinquish the ****** belt and fight at the weights they are comfortable with next, without titles. Talking about being small in a weight you hold the linear title is a ****ve.

          No more catchweights.

            I was kinda hoping that canelo would beat cottos ass for all the diva **** he's been pulling since the delvin Rodriguez fight,but now that canelo has started his own diva behavior of "I'll only fight golovkin at 155" I'm kinda hoping to see the mythical unicorn of the fighting world...the double ko....
