Cotto would be the most skilled fighter GGG has fought at the pro level and also has the speed and power to make him pay for defensive lapses. Would be a great fight. Hope it happens down the line.
Cotto has a better chance than people think but an incredibly tough fight for a blown up WW like Cotto.
I agree. Cotto's movement, hand speed, timing, quick jab and left hook to head and body is quite an ****nal.
Like Cotto said in his post fight interview - He is not a middleweight. We are more likely to see Canelo fight GGG rather than Cotto.
GGG showed some vulnerabilities in his last two fights eating a lot of punches. And, he's been quite left hook happy looking for that big shot. AND, his last fight his stamina was visibly not good. I think anybody saying that Cotto would be a cakewalk for GGG isn't being all that objective.
Cotto's style doesn't translate into fighting bigger men well. Neither does GGG's. Guy's who power and chin is a massive part of their game don't do too well against bigger guys. GGG destroys him.
