    And im pretty confident in saying that after last night. He has all the physical tools over Cotto at this point. Speed Power Size. I think it would be a good tactical fight as they are both boxer punchers. Cotto would have his moments but I think Canelo would win a clear decision here. discuss esb

    It would be a competitive fight and awesome... Can he pull off the win? Yes. It would be very hard... and would cement him as one of the best.

    I think Canelo would take it late TKO or by UD.

    Cotto would try and box... and might be a little more experienced in the boxing game so I can also see a Cotto UD.

    Two big body punchers... and similar styles...

    I Favor CANELO...

    I'd like to see him fight a Cintron or Angulo before Cotto. Cotto has alot of experience, and Steward will have him boxing in this fight.

    I think Alvarez needs a little more seasoning, IMO. And Arum will never allow Cotto to fight Alvarez, so...

    I doubt Golden Boy would allow their ascending superstar to fight Cotto

    Definitely...

    Not time for cotto yet...

    I think he should fight Angulo/ Bundrage/Mayorga/Mosely

    then move up to bigger thing like cotto/cintron/williams in 2012...

    after that PAC and May and Ortiz may be around


    I still think CANELO just needs a couple more competitive fight to learn and then he will be ready for the big time, although if he were to be fed to the elite, I think he would do good enough now..

    He is very experienced and patient for his age showing great skills for a young guy.

    Doubt it.

    If you guys think Cotto is a Shot Baldomir, a Welterweight Hatton or a poor Ryan Rhodes, you're sadly mistaken.

    Both promoters would be reluctant at the present time. Maybe down the road like 2012

    GBP can slowly build canelo into a big super star with mayorga next.

    Cotto has a big $$$ maker in redemption COTTO/MARGO which Arum would not ruin.

    Cotto is already in for a world of hurt in the coming next fight's...
    Leave the guy alone.

    The question you need to ask is 'would m hatton and rhodes get that far with cotto'

    I would say definately not.

    Canelo is good , but has yet to face someone of Cotto's level.

    18 months time he will be a monster.

    I agree that Alvarez has several physical advantages over Cotto but Steward is the X factor here. Despite being very mature for his age, Canelo simply doesn't have the seasoning or composure(yet) to manage a 12 round fight againt an opponent of Miguel Cotto's stature. Cotto TKO 11.
