    Yeah that doesn't make sense. Cotto wasn't the favorite and certainly not by that much.

      Right. My brother assured me Canelo would run Cotto off the road. But I was skeptical as I underestimated Cotto and over estimated Martinez when they fought. Course my dad told me Martinez was leaking oil and would lose. Still Cotto put up a better than most would think performance against Canelo. I think Cotto might have even showed more skill than Canelo back then, but he just couldn’t overpower Canelo. I can’t see anyone with a knowledge in boxing taking bets on Cotto being a 5-1 favourite.

        It was that way on Caliente.com, its a hotspot for bets. Back then at least.

          If u found those odds and pulled the trigger on it, I think that’s awesome. I was surprised one book had Canelo -252 vs Kovalev. Most had him -400 or more. There’s always the best odds somewhere.

            Floyd

            Lamotta
            Ray Leonard
            Joe Calzaghe

            If you want me to explain I will but there’s that!

            When your that good , people question your capabilities and start saying you cherry picking, are in fixed fights, judges are on payroll or refs and etc.

            Thanks for the challenge but not enough for me!

            Now like I said to the other goofy!

            Who else has a better win than what Canelo has moving up 2 divisions and knocking out the champ!?

            • Canelo is a very talented fighter and while Kovalev is past his best there should be some credit due. Its unfortunate though that Canelo will most likely avoid the lineal LHW and SMW champions. He has talent just needs to take the risk. Win or lose I would have much more respect for him.

                floyd I agreed. SRL fought everyone at his weight and around. liston was controlled by the maffia and he wasn't that great. Lamotta fought 106 times in a 13/14 years span. He fought Cerdan, SRR, Zivic and a bunch other worthy opponents. Joey is from the UK, you know how they are, just look at the new ones from there. So you just found one and he is from the new boxing era. So no, you were not up for the challenge.
