In perspective - cotto put a better showing vs canelo than Fayweather did.........

Pbf made canelo look like **** and lost two rounds to him cotto lost either 5 or 7 rounds to canelo

 

Canelo schooled cotto 10-2

 

Whatever you've been taking, it's not meant to be taken before watching boxing. Or then you're just getting fooled by the mobile, active style of Cotto.

I thought Canelo won by a smaller margin than the scores say (Moretti wtf?), but still convincingly enough to make it a legit victory. Cotto was active, but much of his shots seemed to get parried, blocked or dodged by Canelo. There was also a lot of counter-attacking going on by Alvarez, many many situations where Cotto comes off with a solid-looking combination, Canelo evades/blocks and fires 2-3 powerful looking shots of his own (and lands).

What comes to Mayweather vs Canelo, May's style might not be the most entertaining for someone looking for a barn burner, but he definitely landed clean punches all night long. The longer the fight went, the more you could see the frustration in Canelo's face when he just couldn't find Floyd. In fact, Cotto looked more capable vs May than Alvarez did. Whether or not Mayweather was taking breathers on some rounds or not, Cotto was the one to push Floyd to the ropes and land, not Canelo.

Last night it was two gentlemen and true professionals in the ring leaving it all in there. Hats off for both Canelo and Cotto

 

no way... floyd walked canelo down for half the fight, made him look silly on the front foot and the backfoot. this was the last fight i thought floyd looked good in and boy did he put on a show. i gave canelo a 40 percent chance of beating floyd going in, I WAS WRONG... SOOOOO WRONG

cotto got beat, in much the same way he did against floyd, he made it very competitive and landed some good shots but just simply not enough to win rounds and the fight

 

Mayweather took Canelo to school, college and then university. I don't even mean disrespect on Canelo when saying that.

 

Floyd actually showed what you are supposed to do against Canelo. He completely controlled the distance against Canelo. He made him fight off the back foot...walked the bigger man down, made him miss and pay.

Cotto fought well. His jab was on point. Hooks were there and connected at times to the head and body. But, it was not a winning gameplan. Canelo came forward and was exactly where he wanted to be at all times. Cotto is no Floyd, plain and simple. Gotta give Floyd Sr. the nod over Freddie too in this one. It was the perfect gameplan.

People will say it was a 152 lb Canelo as opposed to a 155 lb Canelo. Not on fight night it wasn't. Also, Canelo weighed in for his last fight before Floyd at 153 lbs. Now, with Cotto he weighed in for the fight before at 155. And Cotto had just fought 2 guys who weighed in at 157 or so pounds. 155 made sense in terms of a fair weight. Both Cotto and Canelo are naturally bigger than Floyd, as well. Weight was not the reason these 2 fights went so differently. Floyd was the reason.

 

The Floyd schooling of canelo tau g https canelo a huge lesson, and the perfect student took it all in and now we have a truly great canelo.

Thanks time Floyd we have this canelo for you event next decade

 

Not a fair comparison as Floyd was severely dehydrated. Floyd surviving 12 rounds is a feat already, the guy was on his death bed 24hr before the fight.
