By Francisco Gurrola: It has been sensed that perhaps in 2015 things will arrange themselves in a way that history could possibly be made.
There are a couple of factors involved, to which all would have to fall into place for the history of boxing to change. There has been talk of a possibly Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao fight and a possible Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Miguel Cotto in 2015.
It is imperative to know that before we jump into those fights, one of them a “dream fight” there has to be some determining factors involved. First as we all know the mentioned above opponents have to go through one more challenge before even getting close to the history fights.

On one side we have a true champion in 23-year-old Canelo, who has evolved with his boxing skills after losing a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September. Even though his footwork and stamina might not be the best, he has other skills to compensate and be able to punish his opponents.
