I think Cotto would have dominated if not stopped Canelo if they were the same size

    Nah. Canelo is the better fighter, hands down.

    ...huh?

    That's like saying: If Khaosai Galaxy was a Super Middleweight, he would have beaten Carl Froch.

    No Isal that would be speculation on your part,why is it guys like Canelo and Jacobs the other night won't get weighed on the night?cause they hiding their true weight after hydrating,come on Isal I know you're a fan of Canelo but that doesn't mean you have buy into or agree with everything he does.
    Canelo trolls his fans as much as you do on here,I'll bet you agreed when he said I'm no middleweight didn't you?and yet one fight later he's suddenly bigger than junior middleweight GTFOFH Canelo,everyone inc the media knows how big you are.

    You are speculating and speculate even more when you try and guess why fighters like Floyd, Cotto, and Canelo sometimes choose to not reveal their fight night weight.

    You need a break from the forum like your boy Richards just took.

    Your right mate he was. Also if it wasn't for the pure money side of it, I don't think they would've fought and Martinez would've retired before that. His training camp for the fight must of gave it away how bad he was...Martinez imo would've stopped Cotto with some to spare if he was peak I think.

    I think Cotto would have lost to Corley, Judah, and Torres, had he not started punching them in the nuts when they were getting the better of him.

    Everything about a fighter; style, leverage, blocking angles, etc. changes when you magically envision them to be larger in dimension.

    I believe 100% that Cotto would had smashed Martinez at any point of both careers. Cotto is 10x (more probably) the talent and 100x the fighter SM could ever dreamed of being.

    Cotto always had the talent to land on sergi and the exact same thing happens. The excuse was his "knee" (which NOTHING happened) but the FACT is Cotto landed clean and hurt sergi bad.

    Sergi semi recovered and started to try making a go for a couple rounds then cotto landed clean again and finished him exactly like I fully expected.

    David Haye lost because he TORE (completely) his Achilles, sergi was concussed, far different than injuring a REPAIRED knee.

    Cotto and canelo were much closer in size than you let yourself believe. Cotto is a elite fighter, always had been but canelo is better

    Not sure about dominated but if they were the same size and age Cotto would have won, possibly by stoppage.
