Why? Because he's young and has a good punch? He'll have to get close, he'll have to eat some leather and I don't recall any fight of his where he's tasted power like Cottos'. Now Cotto is no one punch knock out artist. But he hits harder than the average boxer. I don't discount the fact that Canelo can hurt him, but the young one has yet to have his bell rung hard, and I believe Cotto will do it. Question is, does the become gun shy and hold back even more when he gets hit.
I think a really good look at how the fight might play out is Canelo vs. Gomez. Alfonso Gomez was doing a lot of Cotto-esque things and Canelo had the same explosive counter-punching tendencies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djnT2XfXAxQ
Very tough fight, Canelo needs to change that corner. If he had a better corner that fight would be more in favor of canelo. Will cottos and roaches strategy and body work out work canelo ?or will canelo flash and power put cotto down ?
