Cotto has a tendency to gas later in fights. So Roach basically tells Cotto..........knock this guy out inside 4-5 rounds and you aint got to worry. Canelo TRULY don't want no part of that. Especially since he almost never starts fast due to his own lack of stamina. Cotto KO5 Canelo.:deal
cotto/canelo will go twelve rounds in which miguel will need to win a decision against alvarez and the gbp judges. and oscar will have no problem finding another willing and able stanley christodoulou or cj ross.
this fights going to get made because canelo will look like absolute crap against molina and is a lose/lose situation for gbp. canelo will beat cotto who in the eyes of most newbies is a more credible opponent than carlos. cant wait to see all the loud-mouth know-it-all cotto backers disappear on fight night. canelo will be the best value as a -200 for the first part of 2014.
Canelo is a hot tempered red headed step child that has a padded record who feasted on smaller guys like Josesito Lopez and won his We Be Chicano belt from bloated less talented 147lb Matt Hatton then went on to feast on contender club fighter Alfonzo Gomez and won a very close could have gone either way belt from Austin Trout and then get schooled by Mayweather. That's all you need to know about Canelo's deceptive career.
All the back and forth Internet slapping is hilarious on this thread. In any case I'm not overly shocked by what cotto did I was more impressed at his determination and focus its that attitude that drove him through the ranks and it's that attitude that makes him such a beloved fighter. Canelo poses a huge threat to cotto I just merely stating the facts. I'd lean towards cotto because I'm a huge fan and there's no denying cotto is the better overall techniction but at this stage in both their careers the sheer size strenght and fluid combos may be to much for cotto. Canelo is built to last and if cotto can spark up the way he did vs delvin well he gives him self a chance to revisit his former glory
Rodriguez maybe an Espn level fighter but to destroy him like that is impressive, the same way Golovkin stopping Macklin in 3 rounds was impressive.
Cotto is and have always been a better fighter than Canelo. I am not judging him by what he did last night because he did what he was supposed to do. He is just more seasoned and dangerous than Canelo. Canelo beating Trout don't mean **** cause everybody knows that was a sham. Cotto will knock Canelo out.
