    Golovkin or Canelo, Cotto is a toast if he gets past Geale.

    I think Canelo beats Cotto. Too much will and too much bad intentions.

    I said it before and I'll say it again, Canelo is legitimately heavy handed.

    Canelo vs. GGG should happen at some point and if it does. 1.5 mill PPV buys.

    Never been a big canelo fan but for a 24 year old he has some big victories and names on his resume. He should
    Move up to mw soon

    Álvarez showed a lot there.

    He not only disposed of Kirkland in emphatic fashion (more so than Ishida, even though it took a couple of rounds longer; all of Canelo's knockdowns were severe & hurtful, unlike Ishida's) to show off the full range of his accuracy, power, timing, and killer instinct - he weathered that storm in the first minute to pretty much dispel any remaining doubts about his chin, with a large-bodied, huge-punching guy who vacillates between 154 and 160 and has even fought at super middleweight. The first minute was testimony in favor of his chin, and the remainder to his ability to defend & counter versus a dangerous opponent.

    So, for those still waiting for Álvarez to get "exposed" or KTFO and citing things like Jose Cotto stunning him years ago...wouldn't hold your breath unless you've got some kind of asphyxiation fetish. :deal
