Don't mean CHIT! Sure,Cotto did better against Floyd then Canelo... But no doubt in my mind Canelo will brutally KO Cotto... Canelos youth,power and size will be too much for Cotto Boxing triangles don't work Ex: Ponce beats Johnny Gonzalez, Mares beats Ponce. So Mares beats Johnny right? WRONG JOHNNY KTFO MARES I'M A CoTto fan, but he is not good at 154 and old
The exact same reasons I'm giving for a Canelo stoppage victory over Cotto. I hope Cotto gets as fooled as the people who said Canelo can't stand a chance so I can see Canelo landing the monster right on Cotto like he landed it on Trout in Rd. 7.
If Cotto had a rematch with FLoyd at 154 or 147, I have a very good feeling he'd get dominated even worse than their first fight which I thought FLoyd won by 4 or 5 points. Since bringing Sr. back into the mix, Floyd looks like a 25 year old version of himself just with less power (as he's obviously fighting several divisions above where he began,) but his handspeed, footspeed and most of all defensive prowess is as good as I've ever seen it. In the Cotto fight, he seemed to be content with just staying in the pocket and going toe to toe with Miguel. He was as flat footed as I ever saw him, hence the reason he took some good flush shots from Cotto. If they were to rematch soon, I don't think Cotto would win more than 2 rounds. he wouldn't be able to cut off the ring with this version of FLoyd, and FLoyd would just pick him apart. As for a Canelo vs Cotto match, I'd favor Canelo. Cotto would be willing to trade in the pocket with him, and Canelo is the naturally bigger man with more power. Both of them can put beautiful combinations together and both are very good body punchers, but at their respective ages I'd favor Canelo with a late stoppage or UD.
Cotto did better than Canelo? If by doing better you mean losing more rounds and almost getting KTFO in the last one then I agree
Lets be honest here Canelo couldn't KO anyone besides a blown up light welterweight. Canelo has a 60% chance of winning at best.
Cotto, will out box Canelo...you're giving Canelo way to much credit. Canelo, brings a lot to the table but not at 154. Cotto, moves way to much and i think Canelo power at 154 isn't the best.
Before cotto hangs em up, i need to see this fight to settle this never ending dispute. For some reason, canelo and cotto's name are always linked together. If canelo wins, won't be a walk in the park
I completely agree...These two need to fight ! There names are always paired in the same conversation.
It would be the best fight for both guys. Both did about the same against Floyd with different styles, I would pick Cotto but I would not put money on it,too close to call really.
