I think that too Although Alvarez'a combos are nice and has decent head movement at times his low workrate and lack of footspeed will make Cotto catch him alot
Canelo is just too big. You don't understand how much difference those two pounds made when he fought Mayweather. At 154 he will blow up huge on fight night like he has done in the past and steamroll Cotto.
he was 165 against money. 172 against trout, 166 against Mosley. Size wont effect Cotto. But Canelo's Stamina will be even worse, if he balloons again.
His beard is better than Cotto's at least pillowfisted Floyd had Cotto hurt and on ***** street in the last round whilst Canelo took Floyd's best punches for 12 rounds and didn't even blink
Floyd may have temporarily buzzed Cotto for a second in the 12th, but he was far from ***** street. ***** street is where Cotto's lightweight brother had Canelo.
The weight didn't matter in that fight. Mayweather was moving like water in that ring. Canelo wasn't going to catch him with the extra weight or not. Plus, he was fighting safe. He fought not to get knocked out.
It mattered enormously. He was slow , flatfooted and couldn't commit to volume for fear of gassing out. He also had none of the head movement or bob and weave he used against Trout. He looked like a skeleton on the weigh in. If you think cutting weight doesn't matter , watch a different sport.
