    Have the roles now been reversed?

    Will GGG run north to 168 to avoid Miguel?

    Cotto looked mighty impressive. GGG's never faced anything like that before.

    Well, he may not want Cotto or Canelo if he is smart. Cotto's skills would trouble him and Canelo would fight GGG on the inside where he has some problems fighting. If the winner of Cotto/Canelo fights GGG I will confidently pick them to beat GGG. GGG is accustomed to walking through guys with inferior skills who cannot hurt him. Very different story with Cotto, or even Canelo.

    GGG looked susceptible in spots versus Monroe and Cotto is better than Monroe.

    Cotto's intelligent movement and simple yet effective defense will have GGG swinging for air often and I think GGG has stamina problems as it is.

    Cotto looked as powerful as GGG but with better movement and defense. If GGG tries to walk Cotto down with no regard for defense, Cotto might very well put him down.

    Good observation. GGG did look winded mid fight, and that's not a good look.

    No now we have to see some more childish Mexican v.s PR bs, Cotto/GGG will never happen. WBC only care about exploiting the enthusiasm Latino demographics have for their fighters instead of doing their job and ensuring that the best FIGHT the best.
