Bigger threat: Canelo at 152 or Cotto at 145?

Cotto was coming off of a confidence crushing loss to Margarito and a suspect showing against Clottey, but he was seasoned. Canelo is at his physical peak and his peak level of confidence. He could be the next great fighter, but he is unproven.

Cotto came down to fight Pacquiao, Floyd is going up to fight Alvarez. I'd say all things considered, its even.

 

Canelo is young, hungry and probably there can't be a better moment to fight him.

Cotto had been crushed by Margacheato and was ready to go to 154.

 

canelo's hits harder than cotto p4p and he's undefeated. cotto was already damaged when he fought pacquiao.

 

Canelo

 

nothing u say about mayweather or pacquiao can be taken seriously. u ride pacquiao's dick more than jinkee does and youre the bigest mayweather hater on this board. in the future, kindly refrain from commenting on similar threads.

 

Agreed. Me calling it even was generous, only out of respect for Cotto and considering that Canelo is somewhat green. At best its even really... I do give the Canelo fight the edge.

 

I would have to say equal

 

For those picking Canelo as the bigger threat, do you actually believe that there is a legit chance that he can beat Mayweather? You don't see Mayweather just pot-shot his way to a UD? I don't see Alvarez winning but did feel that Cotto had a real chance of winning against Pac in 2009.

 

Floyd would have ko'd Cotto at 145. Cotto lacked confidence and was wobbled even dropped in several fights. It would have been an early Ko!

 

Floyd would have beaten Cotto, that's pretty clear.

Whereas there's a chance Canelo can beat Floyd due to a huge size advantage.

Although I'm certain it's a UD for Mayweather against Gasnelo, inactive Canelo.

 

2013 Canelo beats more 2013 Welterweight fighters at 152 pounds than 2009 Cotto beats 2009 Junior Welterweights at 145 pounds. I will say that.

The thread is too vague for an actual vote. The threat depends on who/when they're fighting.
