Canelo's stamina sucks. Cotto will dominate 2nd half.

    This isn't going to be a tough fight for Cotto. Canelo will come out and try and overwhelm Cotto, but he won't be able to.

    Then he will gas and Cotto will win this easy.

    Cotto doesn't really have great stamina himself either. tired against Margarito,Floyd,Pac.

    I think this boils down to how well Cotto handles the hand speed of alvarez and how well Alvarez handles the power of Cotto

    I think this can be a shoot out early but Canelo might close up and try to counter and make this very tactical

    Cotto may also do what he did vs Margarito and box and move and make the slow of foot Canelo chase and get tired and lead

    I think Cotto has more ways to win and I think i give a slight edge to him here

    Cotto didn't tire against Floyd. He actually had a decent showing.

    He didn't tire against Margarito. He was hit with bricks.

    He didn't tire against Pacquiao. He just got destroyed by the greatest offensive force of his era in his prime.

    This will be the first proper opponent Cotto's faced since Trout though, a live dog.

    Canelo will arguably be at his natural weight here and if he has fought valiantly before at drained weight, I think he could be frightening with little to no weight restrictions. I'd be shocked if Canelo doesn't won this by either lopsided knockdown enabled decision or by late stoppage

    Well Canelo's legacy is on the line in this fight.

    Trout and Lara he barely slipped by, but he was greener there. Mayweather he got dominated, but again he was only 22 in that fight.

    If he cannot defeat 34 year old shop worn Cotto then perhaps he's just not going to be great.

    If he's great he beats Cotto and should do it easily.

    But I don't think he's great or going to be great.

    Canelo's legacy ain't on the line. The boy has barely started shaving.

    Both have suspect stamina. Also will their be random blood testing for this fight.

    Canelo's stamina issues are highly exaggerated. Either way, Cotto's style does not lend to test a boxer's stamina. He's neither a constant pressure fighter nor is he a full-time runner. This will be a nice back and forth type fight in which Canelo will more than likely come out the victor.

    I know he's only 24, but he's an experienced 24. The time is now.

    It's time to roll and become great.
