Miguel Cotto vs Canelo Alvarez boxing showdown official for Nov. 21 in Las Vegas

One of the rare boxing blockbusters that's also a terrific action fight is finally confirmed.

Earlier today, Golden Boy CEO Oscar de la Hoya revealed that the long-demanded fight between Puerto Rican legend Miguel Cotto and Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is set for Nov. 11, 2015, inside Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

No word on the undercard yet, but hot damn, this is a good fight.

Cotto (40-4, 33 KO) -- after a limp performance against Austin Trout in 2012 -- went on an absolute tear, finishing three straight opponents with the aggressive, body-focused attack with which he dominated the 140- and 147-pound divisions.
