    Canelo is more durable. Kneegel Cutto has a habit of quitting on his knee

    i think canelo puts a worse beating on cotto than pac or margo served up. a couple of broken ribs before miguel starts looking for a clean spot to kneel.

    I think Canelo will be the favorite but the fight could go either way. I'd put money on Canelo by TKO.

    Is Canelo crippled?

    in that case, I favour Cotto.

    he's already an specialist at beating these type of fighters


    Things are different if Canelo has a complete and healthy set of legs, arms and eyes
     
  11. Canelo’s hand speed and reactions are faster than Cotto’s to my eyes so i expect him to beat Cotto to the punch. The question is whether he can keep Cotto honest with his power and whether he can endure Cotto’s assault to the body when it does arrive. Unlike Angulo Cotto will get to Canelo at some point. Canelo does fatigue a little and isn’t exactly quick on his feet so i doubt he will be able avoid Cotto. If Cotto lands well and often i see Canelo losing steam badly and perhaps even crumpling late fight. One thing i still haven’t seen from Canelo is him deal with serious pressure. We’ve seen him get schooled but not really put under the heat. We don’t really know what he’s made of yet, Cotto could find this out.
    I’m inclined to pick Canelo by UD atm, but i could swing toward Cotto.

    I love Canelo but hes not ready yet. Theres nobody AT ALL that hes fought that compares to Cotto. I said the same thing about Martinez! Martinez had fought nobody like Cotto AT ALL but i got these responses " Cotto is a midget and has small arms, he gets KO" "Martinez has way to much speed" Cotto hasnt done anything at 154, 160 to high for him"

    I'm telling you this is the strongest fighter Canelo has ever faced and most experinced beside Mayweather where he won maybe 1 round. Canelo is not gonna back away and want to throw down. Instyant Classic, both get hurt but Cotto just to good and to much body work for Canelo
