Should be a great fight. If it goes the distance Cotto has a better chance imo. If Alvarez wins it'll be by stoppage.

Just hoping this fight lives up too it. Floyd vs Pac was such a dud...
Feeling the AVI. You keep killing it on the change up. Great era you rep in your avi's.
Floyd Pac was too overdue! Regardless of when they fought ... I always thought Floyd was too talented for Pac and he wasn't enough of a risk taker to be beaten.
Was it just me who thought Cotto won that fight?
BTW, have you guys read the letter directed towards Floyd by the Golden Boy? DAMN! OUCH!

It was well worth the payview for me. But think Alvarez out boxed Cotto, either way great fight. Never saw the letter, what's the content?
LOL, true.......when I saw/heard the score cards I was damn, seriously?

“Dear Floyd,” the letter begins. “You did it. You made it to the 49–0 mark, a milestone that you like to say only the great Rocky Marciano reached but that was actually achieved by others, including my idol Julio César Chávez – but who’s counting? And now you’re retiring. Again.
“This time you say it’s for real. You’re serious about hanging up the gloves. On to bigger and better things. So I’m writing to you today to wish you a fond farewell. Truth be told, I’m not unhappy to see you retire. Neither are a lot of boxing fans. Scratch that. MOST boxing fans. Why? Because the fight game will be a better one without you in it.”
De La Hoya added: “Let’s face it: You were boring. Just take a look at your most recent performance, your last hurrah in the ring, a 12-round decision against Andre Berto. How to describe it? A bust? A disaster? A snooze fest? An affair so one-sided that on one judge’s card Berto didn’t win a single round? Everyone in boxing knew Berto didn’t have a chance.
“I think more people watched Family Guy reruns that night than tuned in to that pay-per-view bout. But I didn’t mind shelling out $75 for the HD broadcast. In fact it’s been a great investment. When my kids have trouble falling asleep, I don’t have to read to them anymore. I just play them your Berto fight. They don’t make it past round three.”
De La Hoya, who was considering making a return to the ring earlier this year before deciding against it,goes on to accuse Mayweather of being “afraid of taking risks”, citing his failure to fight Manny Pacquiao until their meeting in Las Vegas in May.
“Another reason boxing is better off without you: You were afraid. Afraid of taking chances. Afraid of risk,” he wrote.
“A perfect example is your greatest ‘triumph,’ the long-awaited record-breaking fight between you and Manny Pacquiao. Nearly 4.5m buys! More than $400 million in revenue! Headlines worldwide! How can that be bad for boxing? Because you lied. You promised action and entertainment and a battle for the ages, and you delivered none of the above. The problem is, that’s precisely how you want it. You should have fought Pacquiao five years ago, not five months ago. That, however, would have been too dangerous. Too risky.”

I think a lot of that shit is one sided. Even the commentators would jump on Alvarez dick every time he threw some combos but all he was hitting were gloves. But when cotto made connections they didn't say shit. I do think Alvarez won because he had more power shots but not to the extent they made it seem.
Boxing needs "that guy" so I suppose Alvarez who is backed by Golden Boy productions could be it.

Unfortunately wouldn't happen, cuz Floyd only fights guys he knows he can beat! Lol
I do not care much for Floyd as a boxer and for the sport itself. I have to give it to him though, regarding branding himself and getting payed for it, and very well at that.

Didn't see the fight sadly. We switched carriers awhile ago and haven't set my recordings lol. Alvarez is a beast. I think he or GGG will be the " man". Genady is a cold calculated killer. Love watching that dude fight and can't wait for him to start destroying some bigger names.
Boxing is the only sport I follow anymore.
