Canelo would DESTROY miguel cotto

Canelo didn't impress me much in his fight against Hatton. He needs to improve his defense. Canelo will continue to improve but I don't think he can beat Cotto in two years. Unless Cotto is shot and at a journeyman level in two years.

Yeah. Thought so. The Rican, Cotto gives angles and hits Canelo 3 times up and down for every time Canelo jabs once...Alvarez is just not that good. Sorry.

lol I really don't get you guys. Cotto is shot no different then Baldomir

the ginger has the right style to make cotto look good. no defense. he's not relentless like margarito. he fights at a slow pace. he likes to fight from distance instead of right in your face. He's also strong, has a great body attack, punches in combinations and can force Cotto going backwards which we know is his weakness. He doesn't beat Cotto now but Cotto doesn't want to see this kid 2 years down the line, I can guarantee that.

give canelo a few more fights, maybe like 2 or 3 more and let him beat down cotto. He already killed his brother, miguel is next. NAH...Cotto beats down Canelo like the red-headed stepchild that he is. Woe to Canelo if the great Dinamita deigns to face him. JMM KO Alvarez. Dude, he's just not that good...

Cotto is a vet and I wouldn't say that Canelo beats him. I do think he has the tools to beat him though and the style. It would be fun to watch but Canleo needs time, these types of threads proclaiming Canelo the greatest and then garbage are stupid like the people that make them. the ginger has the right style to make cotto look good. no defense. he's not relentless like margarito. he fights at a slow pace. he likes to fight from distance instead of right in your face.

no way the ginger beats cotto... cotto is too fast, his jab is too good, and cotto actually can box when he wants to. the ginger isn't relentless like marg, so cotto won't take a knee or get stopped by the ginger kid. the ginger fights at too slow a pace

If Cotto is proven, then that means that he is NOT as vulnerable as Canelo. Getting caught in a early fight is one thing, but Cotto did his thing against top oppositon. We've seen Cotto get knocked down, knocked out, quit and even been hurt on numerous occasions. These are all professional boxers, if you get hurt for 30 seconds in a 12 round bout, it really shouldn't be much of a surprise. Well it happens to hotshot prospects. There is a video out there of Cotto doing a funny dance after getting wobbled by Chop Chop Corley. and there's no reason to post it. Like I said, every boxer has been hurt, been in a vulnerable position and even had an off-night. Trying to bring a boxer down over a single clip of a 12 round fight is useless, especially if that same boxer went on to win the fight quite easily. I don't blame the kid, he is taking the path his Management is setting for him. However, this is one of the worst Set-up fights to win your first Title Belt in a long time. Andre Berto's win of the Vacant WBC belt being a close second. Not only did they not fight a top contender for the WBC Belt, but they fished out a guy from a weight-class below to do it. What are we even debating here now? I don't know. I'm not buying the hype, until I see him in with something resembling of a World Class fighter at his prime. So far on paper, Baldomir is his best win. And I can't refute how horrible this match-up was. I can't argue that Baldomir is his best win. Hell, I can't even blame Saul for agreeing to fight for the title because it took 2 people to agree to this fight. So that's my final post regarding this. Props though. I'll send you some green K for being a knowledgeable poster.

took forever for cotto to hurt that bum yuri foreman, even with 1 leg. Canelo runs him over. Hell mayorga might even land a lucky punch and win c'mon son... the ginger kid couldn't even stop matt hatton.... MATT HATTON!

Apparently you're not understanding the Knee-Jerk reactionary, retaliation comments in this thread. TS said that Canelo would destroy Cotto, jumping the gun. And fans are saying the opposite. That's all. Had this thread never been made, Canelo wouldn't be catching any flack. As it stands, Cotto is the better fighter. He came through the Amateur system and was polished from the get-go, and Canelo is coming up through the Mexican System - which is start fighting Professionally at age 16 and get to 40 fights by the time you're a young Adult. Cotto has his flaws but is a proven fighter against slick styles (Quintana, Malignaggie, Judah, Foreman), Strong fighters with speed (Mosley), Pressure fighters (Torres), and even Margarito to some extent- minus the TKO loss. Canelo so far has proven that he can beat brothers of famous fighters, so lets not jump the gun. I'm hoping you're not referring to me when you say "let's not jump the gun." In my very own post I said I don't think Canelo can defeat Cotto at this point in both of their careers. Like you said, Canelo started boxing at a young age. Which in other words means, he's learning on the job. Cotto is proven, yet just as, if not more vulnerable than Canelo. Canelo can box, use his feet, throw combinations and land crisp body punches. He's green but he has a lot to learn. His head movement can be better, but that didn't seem to be an issue with Matthew Hatton tonight. As far as the thread goes, I was just retaliating to the video of the "other" Cotto because it's been used in other threads outside of this one. There isn't a fighter in the world that hasn't looked vulnerable, been caught or had an off night. If people are complaining cause Canelo's not KO'ing the brothers or cousins of big name fighters then so be it. He's 20 years old. Who exactly would you be fighting if you were in his shoes? Would you step up and test your skills against someone like Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito or even Angulo? The kid even said he wants 2 more fights before he steps it up a notch.

yet canelo himself says he needs to wait 2 more fights before he steps up his competition. wow i'm scared to death :rofl: By your logic Muhammad Ali sucks he didn't step up the competition until he was 21

The ricans are scared to death of the new mexican superstar canelo. The kid is getting better every fight, hardly even 20 years old, got great power. Even roy jones said his hooks to the body were up there with HIS. yet canelo himself says he needs to wait 2 more fights before he steps up his competition. wow i'm scared to death :rofl:

Clearly he is not as shot as Baldomir, or he would have made the Jewish fighter look like gold in his last fight. lol Yuri Foreman was fighting on one leg my grandmother could have won that fight. Cotto is every bit as washed up as Baldomir.

the ginger would give cotto a tough fight cause the ginger is bigger than cotto, but cotto should be able to outbox and hurt the ginger.

Even roy jones said his hooks to the body were up there with HIS. Even better why doesn't fraud chavez jr. prove himself with canelo. that way there are no excuses..(for chaves )

No. He killed Miguel Cotto's brother? What fight were you watching? They turned it off after the first round. Kid got/gets too relaxed sometimes, which makes him slow on his reaction time. He got caught cold, weathered the storm, and dominated the rest of the fight. Cotto got rocked more than once by more than a few punchers and non-punchers, so people need to fall back on that. Give this kid a few more fights and we're talking about a great fight between him and Cotto, where he wins. If they throw him in now, it's still a great fight, but he gets stopped.
