if they fight, I"d be pulling for Cotto to beat Gingerboy... but after the trout fight... it looks like a bad fight for Cotto

Originally posted by Dominicano Soy View PostHis performance against Trout doesn't make me think any different, Canelo is a stationary counter puncher, far more aggressive, in this case both styles feed off the other. Again major props to Trout, but him and Canelo couldn't be farther apart in terms of style.

Cotto simply can't compete with the great fighters at 154. If he were to fight Canelo, Canelo would knock him out. Probably within 8 rounds. He wouldn't hurt Canelo and he would eat all of his punches.
Canelo should be fighting Trout or winner of Lara/Vanes. Those 3 are legit.
Right now Cotto has become a resume builder.

cotto might be a tougher opponent than mosley was, but it's still the same concept. alvarez faces an older name and beats him. what does it prove? that he can challenge mayweather? that he can beat guys like trout, lara, molina, or martirosyan? imo it doesn't prove much, man.

People need to stop using the "Who has he faced" old song and dance because Trout isn't the only one who had nothing on his resume to compare to Cotto's. But resumes don't fight, fighters do. Same when people were saying who had Mosley fought when he was about to fight Oscar and we know what happened there. History is littered with guys who beat guys with much better resumes.

Only legit opponent he fought was Ryan Rhodes
