    Most will say Trout but I think this fight is also a massive risk.

    With Trout, a loss would have meant no Floyd fight but Trout was viewed as a good ( and top) Jr. Middle. I totally disagreed but that is the way it was.
    Had Canelo looked at least decent in the Mayweathert fight, there likely would have been a rematch. But he didn't... he Guerreroed. Because of that I see this fight really doing damage if he loses.
    1. He is as much as a 7-1 favorite
    2. If he loses, he will need to go back to fighting soft Welters just to build himself up again.

    I see a lot of people viewing this as a tailor made fight for Canelo but IMO, Canelo will look good for 6 rounds, then get walked down .

    I hope Perro wins but his defense is not very good, hopefully Wards trainer came up with another good game plan like in the Lara fight where Angulo had him all but out

    I think Sergio retires Cotto. You might be right though.

    Neither. both easy easy wins for nelo. people just arent able to grasp reality.
    he took it easy vs trout cause he was so far ahead after round 8. he would have finished
    him with another round like the 7th but when your opponent needs a KO to win and you
    know that as a fact only a dumb dumb fighter would go for a stoppage themelves.

    he is so far superior to both these fighters. no open scoring here so he will destroy angulo
    in brutal fashion. i dont think angulo is even going to be able to land more then a coupled
    flush shots. this is such a mismatch, the same way it was with trout but he will be attacling more
    not being totally certain of the scores

    Trout no doubt.

    The guy had just beaten Cotto clearer as Floyd did, and was undefeated at the time.
