    i hear some of you saying you wanted floyd to pick a green fighter over a tested, experienced fighter like miguel but why?

    see the difference for yourselves and tell me who is the better fighter

    not too happy about this Cotto(e) fight, but it is better than an Alvarez one

    Cotto(e) is proven. Alvarez has been all hype so far

    Only people not happy with this fight are pac fans so they will be making excuses as to why the fight sucks.

    Canelo would issue Cotto an ugly beating.

    You can't base a decision on one common opponent. Too many factors involved.

    Canelo took that fight as practice

    look at how he spent a whole round dicking around experimenting with his version of the shoulder roll defense.

    Because Alvarez is potentially good for Boxing.

    In a perfect world Floyd would be fighting Manny or Sergio on May 5th and Cotto would be fighting Canelo on the undercard!

    Cotto has the advantage in experance

    Alvaraz has a better style for beating Mayweather.

    Who the dude with More Heart then big brother who took the fight to the Lion, got rewarded with stunning the LION but Ultimately the Lion destroyed the brave Brother who kept pushing forward with Balls and Heart after the Lion Hit with so Many Hard power shots? That Brother?

    Hmmmm, I think the Older one would just run one he felt the Lions Power as he did against PAC, SURVIVAL Mode is the most likely Bet when Cotto in trouble CANELO would **** that ass, don't worry Cotto's next fight will probably be Canelo and I will be here to remind you.

    Legacy wise, Cotto is a Sure thing... Canelo is a bet as Mayweather could add a Future P4P great or as many haters say, a hyped up fighter that won't make it.We shall see.

    No, he's not a better fight. He has no footwork, no defense, and no Chin. Floyd is extremely feather fisted at 154 and he would still brutalize Alvarez's Fragile Glass Jaw.
