Cotto: "Canelo will be just another fight..."

He couldnt praise Freddie Roach enough. He has enough confidence in Roach to give him a game plan where he feels he could take on anyone and beat them (except GGG for some reason).

 

He has looked really good since making the switch to Roach. The fight with Canelo should be a hell of a fight.

 

canelo gonna whoop on him.

 

There was no malice in it. I think he's trying to play down the significance and possible pressure people have put on the fight, and after fighting Pacquiao, Mayweather, Mosley, Margarito, Martinez etc he's more than entitled to do so. Even after last night's farce.

 

Canelo might win, but it's unlikely he'd just whoop Cotto. Cotto is more skilled both offensively and defensively. He's also got more experience and faster feet than Canelo, while Canelo might have the slightly faster hands and power edge. It'd be a fight where if Canelo won, he'd likely be down on the cards but catches Cotto with something big(my guess would be an uppercut) and gets a comeback stoppage. However, I'd favor Cotto.

 

I don't know about roach anymore

 

Canelo Cotto is a huge fight for all the right reasons

They should fight to trounce all over WHOEVER Floyd fights at the end of the year (unless he picks Cotto II :rofl)

actually wish Floyd & Pac would retire...then we could have lots of great fights.

 

you mean with all the catchweights and drugs?

hes the dirtiest **** in the sport

yet gets a pass cause people just love pooch and cotto

 

Indeed. This is the first time I've seen Cotto so serious in the corner listening to everything his trainer tells him and goes out there instantly applying.

 

I think he meant that he is extremely confident now under Roach as others have pointed out and although I am sure he is training his ass off, he isn't viewing Canelo as an opponent that he and Roach won't find a way to beat as they have with the previous ones.

 

To me, the difference in this fight has always been that Canelo is younger, bigger, stronger. I respect Cotto, but all of those things do matter when it comes to boxing.

 

I hoped he would have faced him already. Hoever, Roach said recently that Alfred "GGG" Newman needs to get his PPV numbers up first...!!!!

 

Yep, it would be just another loss to add to a few he already got. No biggie.
