I've been saying this and the geale fight just clarifed it even more! Roach just has him on another level and Cotto is on kill mode! I love Canelo but hes not ready for Cotto. Hes still flat footed many times, can be pressured into ropes and will lay there. Cotto just has to much for him. Canelo wont back down and thats why we could get a FOTY candiate!! problem is he will be fighting the strongest puncher hes ever faced! that spells big problems when Cotto cacthes him clean with massive shots! canelo has power too but Cotto's defense is waayyyy better then Canelos! Cotto KO's Canelo or wins unamiouns decisison I love me some GGG too! dude is great at cutting off the ring, brings it all the time, massive power! Problem with GGG is, he hasnt fought any elite fighters yet! Not his fault, ppl have ducked him but thats what it is. we wanna trust GGG but i really cant to i see him against an elite fighter! Cotto is as elite as it gets. GGG can say what he wants but he was getting a little tired and Monore was catching him with good shots. I'll neever believe a fighter that says he did that for fans. He KO's out ppl for fans, not take punches. I totally believe what oscar tweeted that night when he said "If GGG was in there with an elite fighter, he would get be touched right now" and hes so true. If that was Cotto, GGG could be on the ground! Looks like he has a chin but i think Cotto would be the hardest puncher hes fought! Stevens has some power but i still think Cotto hits harder. Cotto just dropped a mid range cruiser weight last night with one shot!! Cotto has GOT SOME SERIOUS POWER!!! GGG is bigger but big doesnt win you fights, point blank. Cotto is still a better fighter then GGG right now. hard to argue against it when you watch both fight. PPL will say once GGG hits Cotto he will fall but how often will he hit him?? Cotto defeense IS ON POINT!! GGG would have to be able to deal with the footwork and massive counter shots just to land shots. I love Cotto over Canelo, will put at least 2k on that and slighty favor Cotto over GGG. PPL may call me crazy but i know boxing homey! check my track record, $hit is AWESOME!! Cheers to mega fights coming up!!!! :bbb:bbb
Theres no reason to think cotto can't beat canelo. He's just too flatfooted, inactive and hittable. If cotto pays attention to that uppercut and works on defense, he should be fine However, i don't think he can beat ggg. Unless cotto can hurt or stun ggg with a hook, he's in trouble because he has the style that gives cotto problems. A guy who is a stalker, good at cutting the ring and relentless. For me , its the combination of a style problem + size
Triple G would flatten Cotto in 7 rounds! If he ever has the courage to face Triple G that is, we'll get to see it.
Based on what?? just power?? Who has better defense? Footwork? Body work? Jab? I love GGG but its yet to be proven on the biggest level. I think Cotto works him. Cotto might get dropped and both could be bleeding badly. but Cotto is too accurate and GGG would eat some massive shots. Cotto just KO a cruiser weight, GGG best watch it!
He does have a chance against either of them. I'm not convinced that either GGG or Canelo would be able to take a hard left hook from cotto and be unaffected by it.
Can't see Cotto beating Golovkin. I believe he gets stopped around the 11th. I'm a big Cotto fan but him seems quick to discount GGG. If he wants to be the number 1 middleweight then he does need to beat Golovkin. I just can't see him lasting against the power, we've seen nothing in GGG's amateur and professional career to make us believe his chin is suspect. I'm confident he takes Cotto out.
