    Thats because cotto fought the right fight against floyd. Completely cut off the ring and went in, smothering floyd whilst at a distance jabbing. Canelo fought the wrong fight for his abilities.

    That's because he's a better fighter than canelo, more experienced and faced way better opponents.

    Yeah...and Cotto hurt Floyd's face more than Floyd hurt Cotto's face. But Cotto still lost.

    The thing is that Canelo will destroy Miguel Cotto badly in 2014.

    THey both tried different styles, the both lost clearly.

    Cotto sustained more damage.


    Canelo beats Cotto!

    Cotto can't defend himself, and he will look bad vs. Rodriguez, just wait. And, do you think that when Canelo lands the same right hand that KD Trout, Cotto will take it and survive the round he takes that punch and go on?. Hell, no.

    All your focuss is on what canelo might do. Just a quick reminder tho

    Cotto has two hands too. He will study this floyd fight.

    I agree that if cotto looks bad vs rodriguez, this fight gets pointless

    Of course, every fight you focus on what any fighter might do. Cotto can't match speed with Canelo, Cotto can't match power for power with Canelo. Doesn't matter how he looks with Rodriguez he will get badly stopped. Cotto will be fed to the lion once he wins in October.

    Agreed, Cotto can't match the speed or power of Canelo, and cotto's right hand is a joke compared to Canelo. But...he's got a hard jab, a better workrate and better footwork and possibly a better inside game. So...why can't Cotto craft his fight off those?

    Because his jab is not that good despite is hard, the better workrate gets ****ed up once Canelo gets going, his footwork is awesome compared to Canelo's but takes only 2-3 rounds to figure it out because he always moves to the same side of the ring and believe me, his inside game is NO GAME for Canelo. It will be an interesting fight while it lasts, but Canelo stops him.
