Canelo should fight Cotto to bounce back from his lost against Mayweather. It would be a great fight.
I think he should fight somebody else before Cotto. they say they trying to line up Angulo. thats a great fight. The problem with fighting Cotto right off the back is you dont where where is confidence is at. hes watched Cotto vs Mayweather to get ready for Mayweather and knows Cotto is very good and dangerous. I think that would be a war and Cotto can win that. Canelo has never ever felt power like Cotto's and that can change the way he fights fast. very dangerous. fight Angulo in a war and get ready for Cotto fight
Not sure where Cotto is right now. He looked OK against Floyd. He looked lousy against Trout. And he switched trainers again. I have to think Canelo is in a better place right now and Cotto is searching for an identity at his age. I'll go with Canelo by KO.
I dont know why people keep overlooking the experience element that exists within all fights . Cotto outboxes Canelo. and wins a fight to the tune of 116-112. The Cotto that went against Floyd stops him. I like Canelo a lot. But Cotto is a future HOF. He's not ready for Cotto and got a gift against Trout.
Cotto can't defend at this point. Experience doesn't matter, Canelo is too young and will stop him. The Cotto who fought Trout did nothing (Canelo didn't do all that much either, but did something). Cotto can't match power or speed with Canelo. Cotto is done, can you understand that?
I think Cotto employing the gameplan he used vs Margarito in the rematch with Perdo Diaz training him can win, but if they were to fight next year, that's not the Cotto that would show up. He'd crumble under the barrage of uppercuts and body shots
