    Cotto trains with Freddie. That's all you need to know about Roger's "opinion".

    Who cares? It doesn't count even if all trainers say it. It has to happen inside the ring.

    Can someone explain to me the whole putting an "e" on the end of Cotto thing?

    Seen a few posters, who tend to be Cotto detractors, doing this but not sure if its supposed to be an insult or if so how/why?

    But yeah, I think most people including myself favour Canelo to beat Cotto. Don't need Roger Mayweather's inane ramblings to tell me why.

    I fancy Canelo in that one at 160 to be honest. He's just too big and improving. Mayweather was quick enough and fit enough, elusive enough and ran enough to stay out of the road but Cotto naturally stands and trades more and Canelo is much stronger he will just walk him down I can only see him coming off better when they trade. It'll still be a good hard fight though.
    Canelo seems a lot stronger at 155lbs too so if they are at a catch weight of 156lbs or 157lbs he will be too strong. Canelo still loses to Golovkin though imo.

    At 160? Canelo all day.

    The battle with the scale won't be so bad, Miguel will be the smaller man and Canelo will be the stronger of the two.

    Canelo will walk him down like Tony did in their first encounter.

    Won't be like that because Canelo isn't that fit and has a completly different style to Margarito. He will be the stronger man though.

    So it seems like Cotto will be the underdog, that's not bad for him. All the pressure will be on Canelo, if Cotto wins it's more impressive to beat someone who is favoured over you and who is a bigger 'young , hungry lion' and even if he loses, that's what was expected.

    I can see what Roger is saying about Canelo's physicality but I don't think the difference between them in physicality is that big. Cotto is a strong, fit guy himself who isn't slow either. I'm not that high on Canelo tbh, sometimes he looks great and sometimes he looks pretty ordinary as does Cotto. Cotto good boxer, a good puncher and has a lot of experience, I think he could time Canelo and I'm not sure how well Canelo would handle his shots. For those reasons I don't think this is a clear cut win for Canelo. Good, close match up that could go either way for me.

    There was a psychotic poster on here, a really strange guy, who used to put an (e) on the end of Cotto's name all the time. He used to argue with the Floydettes 24/7 and then the Floydettes started doing it too.

    He had so many alts its hard to remember the one he used most. I think it was ........... One Punch KO.

    His avatars were also strange photos of people with weird eyes.

    The mods were always banning him because the Floyd fans would cry to them when he would refute their nonsensical arguments. But he always came back with another alt. He also posted a lot of weird stuff in the Lounge.
