    If feel this counter would have given Canelo a big edge if he had ever fought a body puncher like McCallum, out of ten as a counter puncher how did Canelo`s counter punching rate v Cotto?

    Assuming McCallum wouldn't use it himself

    McCallum never used this block and counter, unless you can tell me which fight.

    What? He does it here, with several variations. And this is a highlight video.
    And it's not a punch people would use against Mike often, since it was suicidal to trade body punches with him.

    Canelo can do all these counters and has the same level defense.

    It may be more conducive to use binary code.

    Tom Yankello makes pretty good videos because he is an honest to God boxing guy.
    That is a real basic counter, not some mystic on the mountain move that only a special few can do. The timing works better if you don't block then punch. The rotation of your body as you punch moves your liver 8 inches or more forward and his hook goes behind your back.
