    Maybe. But I feel he has the skills, chin, punching-power & defense to beat these 2 - as they were quite limited & relied on power.

    Canelo was run close by an old version of the homeless man's Trinidad (Cotto).

    The guy is incredibly overrated.

    I don't think the Cotto fight was that close, (I had it 9-3/8-4 Canelo), but it was competitive throughout & Cotto was the much smaller. I also completely disagree that Cotto is a 'homeless man's' Trinidad - as he was a great boxer, with better boxing skills than both Trinidad & Jackson - who always struggled with boxers.
