    I don't know about this one. I wanna say Canelo but Cotto does have the experience and feel Canelo is a bit too flat footed/slow. Tough call..

    Huge Cotto fan and have not missed a fight at the Gardens whenever he fights here in NYC.
    This is going to be a tough one but I am sticking with my man -Cotto by decision.

    Cotto by decision. I feel canelo may come on strong but fade In the later rounds or vice versa, start slow and lose the early rounds and try to start somewhere in the mid to late rounds giving Cotto the earlier rounds.

    Cotto by decisive decision. I think Cotto will have the slow-footed Alvarez turning into punches all night long. If Cotto keeps his cool and just boxes Alvarez, it should be an easy night for him.

    Cotto will make slight adjustments and pepper Opie at will ...worse than Kirkland the club fighter with 2 year layoff did.

    Unlike Kirkland Cotto does have defense and ring knowledge!!!

    For the delusional fanboys just hope Opie does his ab work because he will get punished to the body...bank on it!!!

    Canelo gasses up in round 6 or 7 depends on how much pressure he will exert into cotto. Then cotto will pepper him with jabs all night.

    Cotto can move around the ring and have more ring generalship than canelo. If canelo is still flatfooted in november then he looses this fight.

    Cotto has my vote.

    Any news on the state of Canelo's knees? Are they in good nick or have there been any reports that they might be gammy?

    Hey if the stars align and Cotto gets past Canelo and Degale gets past Bute, should there be a recurrence of the troublesome knee injury that hampered James Degale for over a year and a half, could we see Cotto vacating his WBC MW strap and moving up to 168 to mount a challenge to become the first 3 weight Cripple Crusher champ in the history of the sport? First Yuri Foreman for the WBA 154 strap, then Sergio Martinez for the WBC 160 strap, and then, god willing, James Degale for the IBF one up at 168.

    I'll post this just in case Miguel or one of his gammy knee/cripple scouts is reading the forum today. Maybe if he gets wind of it we could end up witnessing history in the making yet again. :yep

    'James DeGale says he is "100% me" again after making a recovery from a troublesome knee injury thanks to the England football team's physio.

    DeGale has shaken off his niggle in good time as he is five weeks away from defending his WBC silver belt against Argentine Pablo Farias on March 23.

    DeGale's knee problem, which he picked up when knocking it against a table, limited him to bending down to only 30% of what he should be able to.

    But it did not affect his career record as he won the three bouts he contested whilst carrying the injury.

    But the quality of his performance did suffer, as was evident when he let Fulgencio Zuniga last the distance in December despite being the clearly-superior boxer.

    "I don't like making excuses but for the past year and a half since probably the [Cristian] Sanavia fight I have been boxing, training, sparring, running with a bad knee which has been giving me heaps of problems," DeGale told Henessey Sports.

    "But that's all sorted now, I went to [Gary] Lewin the physio for the England football team and he sorted it out so that's all sorted and I have got no excuses.

    "I just feel better in training, I want to get in the ring and fight because you'll see 100% me, instead of 70% me where I am on the ropes and I can't bend my knee so I have to stand there with my hands by my head.

    "That will not happen now, I can get angles now and I can use my feet a lot better so my next fight in March you will see a better me."

    This is how I see it.

    Cotto is an elite boxer. Canelo is not.

    I have Alverez winning this one. But in his last fight he near enough emptied his tank after 4 rounds, he threw a hell of alot and i suppose it worked out for him but if he lets rip on Cotto and Cotta covers right up and lets him do it the rest of the night could be very rough for him.

    I'll be rooting for Canelo but I suspect Cotto will pull out a decision win.

    I think Canelo is too big, too youthful, too strong for Cotto at this point. I see a knockout under 10.
