    Agree or Disagree with the Bob-Father? Cotto could get old over night in the fight. He should win UD but hes going to have to box and move like the Cotto under Pedro Diaz.

    i dont think its a tipping point, but it is an advantage. canelos team does not have the experience at top level to be able to prepare a fighter as thoroughly as roach can, they just have the faster horse.

    I think Roach is one of the big advantages, a "tipping point"? Idk

    I absolutely agree, how can anyone not see it? Cotto, has flourished under Roach. Canelo has to win by KO. He cannot beat Cotto by decision. He is slower and of hand and foot but, Canelo has the advantage in ruggedness, youth, and in do or die mentality. He does not have the work-rate of MARGARITO. Canelo works at a very comfortable pace for Cotto, but Cotto cannot lose concentration or fuk up once, or he will be unconscious, by the same token Canelo cant just roll in there or he will get KTFO. Fight is loaded with intrigue and tough to call. I believe if it goes 15, advantage Cotto however, Goldenboy has so much influence and Red may get another BS decision, you never know.

    No question Cotto has been re energized with Freddie-but also credit must be given to the matchmakers.Canelo is a higher level fighter so this is going to be a war.
