    Cotto even at this age would smash him.

    Styles make fights

    Lara makes running

    Cotto wouldn't smash him

    I don't think so, Alvarez will give Cotto hell. People seem to forget that looking good against someone in Lara's style is impossible.

    I agree, he kinda is. But there isn't anyone at 154 that will give him trouble.

    Canelo looked worse than Froch against Dirrell

    No he's not, Lara is the worst possible style match up for him and is also excellent at what he does and canelo just beat him.

    Can we not give Canelo credit, he took a terrible style matchup against the best out their at 154, the guy nobody wanted to fight, he fought him and beat him on my card.

    yes because cotto didn't just beat the man at 160

    cotto will never truly get his fair shake he should be near the top of the heap as for pound for pound rankings but he never gets mentioned even though he's fought everybody

    Ineffective aggression does not win you a fight. Canelo landed some body shots every once in a while, but for the most part he stalked and punched air aimlessly the entire fight.

    You will be surely crushed when Canelo stops Cotto. Hope that fight is next.

    On the other hand, movement alone and landing a few punches here and there DEFINITELY won't win you a fight.
