    That canelo at this stage who has not physically matured nor has peaked in skill is alreaey considered to be very close to cotto in skill or even better in many dans opinions age comes into play as to say he still has a long way to go in reaching his full potential but currently the skill disparity ain't much.

    Dude, I understand that. But does any of this mean Canelo is better at this moment then Cotto? From what I understand, the thread starters is asking who's better at this moment. NOt who has more potential, or was better at the age of 21. But today, who's better.

    Better fighter than Cotto? Hell no. Experience and the type of fighters they have faced makes this question absurd.

    Better than Cotto @ this point? HELL NO!!!

    Could he be better than a 2012 Cotto eventually? Depends!


    I actually believe Cotto is a better all round boxer than Canelo, more complete if u will, but that's nt to say Saul can't close the gap with gaining experience in the future

    P.S I'm on the Canelo hype train...I think the kid has the goods BUT comparing him to a seasoned vet, who has tangled with the whose who of this era makes this argument absurd.

    :patsch

    Cotto defeated guys like Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Foreman, Mayorga, and Margarito.. He had a fight against Pac, and will fight Mayweather next..

    He has been fighting the good quality names and has been keeping that way even if he have two losses.. :deal

    And Canelo's biggest fight is his fight with Mosley.. Let's see what he can do against quality opponent.. :smoke

    And not just that.. If we add the styles and the techniques, Cotto is a lot better than Canelo.. :deal
