Trainer Freddie Roach is not worried in the least, as WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33KOs) gears up for his very anticipated title defense against Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (45-1-1, 32KOs) on November 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Canelo is younger, some believe to be bigger and growing in stature. Cotto is feeling a career turnaround after hooking up with Roach in early 2013.

Both fighters are riding a three fight win streak. Canelo won a twelve round decision over Erislandy Lara and has stoppage wins over James Kirkland and Alfredo Angulo. Cotto has knocked out all three of his opponents, Delvin Rodriguez, Sergio Martinez and Daniel Geale.

The fight is taking place at a catch-weight of 155-pounds, which suits both fighters. Canelo has had his last three bouts at 155. Cotto, while competing at middleweight, has never fought at the full limit of 160 and makes his opponents meet him a catch-weight.

In a recent interview, Canelo and members of his team explained their advantages in the fight - including skill, punching power and strength. Roach disagrees, stating that his fighter holds the advantage in every single area.

"Miguel is ready for this guy, he's in good shape," Roach told BoxingScene.com. "[Canelo] has no advantages. He's not a better puncher, he's not a better boxer. There is nothing that he does better than us, nothing."
