Is cotto/canelo the closest thing to tito/oscar?

in terms of storyline, hype, excitement, importance

i say yes

 

Close I guess but Tito was more loved by PRs and Oscar was a way better fighter than Canelo.

 

It's a poor man's DLH/Trinidad but the fight will probably live up to the hype, unlike oscar/tito.

 

i agree. but this one aint going to the scorecards so i think it eliminates the chance of a bad or controversial decision

 

That's a good way to put it.

Hopefully you're right about the last part.

 

from whats available in the foreseeable future, yes.

 

Depends if it ends in an obvious robbery.

 

Its possible. Canelo gets outboxed by Cotto but Canelo gets the win seems like its very possible.

 

I say yes, but this time the PR fighter runs in the late rounds.

 

DLH vs Tito were both prime and undefeated when they fought eachother, Cotto is well past prime with several losses and Canelo imo did'nt give an honest effort in his lone big fight vs Mayweather.......

.....so no, not even close.

 

This.

 

This fight will probably not come close to DLH/Trinidad PPV-wise but as of right now it looks like the biggest fight of 2015.

 

Cotto/Canelo would do good numbers, but will need a good undercard to push over a mil

 

Yep

 

Not even Floyd nor Pac seem to be breaking the million mark anymore.
