Is the Cotto vs Canelo fight overrated?

[El Kabong]

On a side and it seems to be said everytime..for a ppv the undercard is non existent!

You ain't kidding!

Takashi Miura WBC vs Francisco Vargas
Randy Caballero WBC vs Lee Haskins
Jayson Velez vs Ronny Rios


That is a SHIT undercard, I don't know of any of those guys.....maybe I've heard of Vargas....MAYBE....but damn it is lackluster

Miura-Vargas should be a fun fight but asking 64.99 here is comical. I could go another 20 years without seeing Velez

Its BoxNation in the UK £12 a month, can't complain at all about that.

Manny v Floyd was overrated, this can not be worse than that.

The best way to judge this one is to review the fights thy had with common opponents, one in particular the one that calls himself money. He talked a great deal of shit. One of them went for a ride on the money train while the other showed sluggers how to get inside. One is young and a good fighter but not impressive while the other is a veteran that moved up on the scale. The so called bigger man Canelo called for a catch weight then challenging for a title with an established weight he and others like him have no right to do. If you challenge middleweight then fight a middleweight. Advantage to the challenger who asks the question, "Do these trunks make my as look fat?"

The fight is for the Middleweight Championship of the World, arguably the most important title for the 'insiders' of the sport. The champ is probably the underdog, so no, it is clearly not overrated!

I don't think it will be a bad fight but I also don't at all think it will be a great fight. Cotto will not slug it out with Canelo. He knows he will lose if he does that. He will pick his shots and circle. He won't let Canelo set his feet. That means that Canelo will really never get to swing full force.

As the fight draws near, I'm thinking that Cotto will win a comfortable decision.

Amazing! Cotto has the strap and is the "lineal" champion at the weight above, yet he is the smaller man! You couldn't make this shit up!

Cotto has always said he is not a real middleweight so it makes what he has acheived at the weight even more remarkable.

I cant see how this fight could be overrated when you consider duds like Manny/Floyd and the mismatches that continue. What muddied the waters in this one was all the middleweight BS which in the end even gets reduced further as anything meaningful because of the late in the day spoils. Its not even a paper title anymore given the circumstances. I maintained from the beginning that the belt should have been vacated cause the fight didn't need it. Now its a consolation prize. They should just mass produce them and sell them at Walmart.

I think its going to be one of the best fights of the year just because of the style matchup. So similar. Both like to hook and its one of the best rivalries in all of sport. They never needed the false advertising. That is what makes the latest moves by Cotto so puzzling. The timing is simply confusing. The Wbc still allowing their son to fight for a dropped title given their ranking system and the deal struck with Golovkin is outrageous. Its amazing to me that they have not been investigated on a host of fraud and corruption charges. What Sulaiman Jr has done is no different then what Bob Lee Sr. did and was convicted for in 1999. Also Alvarez has made it clear he's not a middle and has no plans on defending at 160 so he should have simply declined on a shot at a dropped title. Let the real middleweights fight for it.Hopefully Alvarez has a moment of lucidity and hands the belt back should he win the fight

Looking forward to the fight and and its got a little Tito/Fernando feel to it.

I think its a bit underrated. The whole PPV thing is just bullshit to me I think it kind of hurts boxing. When you pay 60 bucks for a card you want a full card of at least 3-4 good fights, and when the main event turns out shitty it just leaves you with a sour taste. I do like this main event won't be watching it on PPV though. I like Cotto a lil bit now, I used to think he was overrated. Don't care too much for Canelo. I think Canelo is gonna win it though. I have ever seen Canelo hurt though, only out boxed. A sharp boxing Cotto could pull it out.

[SlimTrae]

Ill be watching the fight through saddo updates.

[Vendettos]

I believe it is one sided and not very exciting.

Canelo either stops Cotto or takes a wide UD.

[No Contest]

Canelo already has a good career, he's beaten some good fighters. He has 45 or so fights already at 25 which is pretty damn impressive. He is in his prime years right now. He wins this it sets him up to be the man and he has the frame to go up in weight. Cotto has probably one or two more years max left. So it would be better for boxing if Canelo looks impressive.
