    Both GGG and Lemieux would KO either Cotto or Canelo easy.

    I don't know what odds that mistaken fellow would give, but I'd probably say Golovkin would be set somewhere between -400 and -600 vs Canelo and somewhere between -550 and -750 vs Cotto. Keep in mind that odds are set based not solely on who the casino thinks will win but also on the quantity of bets the casino think each participant will receive and the exposure that creates. The more people who bet on a participant, especially an underdog with a chance to win, the more exposure a casino has on that side of the line. That's why lines can move between open and close. If a ton of money is coming in on one side, casinos may move the line to soften exposure. That's why they say the smart money comes in early and late (i.e. before the casino moves the line and at the end of the casino moving the line--which is near the event). For example, the best odds were gotten on Pacquiao early and the best odds were gotten on Mayweather late because the line move a bit to soften the Pacquiao side because so many [dumb people] were betting on Pacquiao in the beginning.
