    I wonder will it be as good as the Middleweight fight of Froch V Groves 2, which tool place in front of 80,000 people at Wembley. Not many people know that, Froch is very hesitant to mention it.

    @Cathal Scully: In the lower weight classes there’s 4/5 lb difference in some, my point about weight classes wasn’t directed specifically at Middleweight. Jesus, a man can put a smart comment up here without getting dogs abuse! Haha

    I’m going for Canelo on points, or possibly a late stoppage. I believe he has superior boxing skills, he’s the younger man and he’s the better all round fighter.
