Canelo's speed is underrated and the kid can put together some good combinations. Canelo's power, stamina, pressure, and combinations will be too much for Cotto. Canelo can take Cotto's best punch and continue to pressure him.
If Cottos brother rocked Canelo then how is it that he will take Miguels best punch?
Really doesn't make too much sense.
This would be a good fight. Two accurate power punchers. One has lost a lot of speed throughout the years and many wars. The other isn't blessed with the best handspeed but his pinpoint accuracy and natural pop makes up for his other shortcomings. I think at 154 lbs, Canelo would have a hard time hitting Cotto and Cotto would have many openings to pick his shots and pile on the points throughout the rounds. I think Canelo is tough enough to stick in there all 12 rounds and hit Cotto from time to time but most of the rounds would go to Cotto.

Saul Alvarez would absolutely destroy Miguel Cotto.
Cotto does not have what it takes to take on a guy of Alvarez' size, pressure, and power. Miguel gets brutalized.
Thats like saying Chavez JR is undefeated he must be able to beat Hopkins
While Canelo is a good young fighter hes faced NOBODY who could really challenge him. Hasnt faced a top teir fighter yet. He'd be in a whole different fight against Cotto.
The dude couldn't take out Hattons brother who was fighting above his weight-class.
Win loose or draw Cotto would give him hell.....
Who the hell has canelo fought? His resume sucks and he has almost 40 fights?!? Then we have these mexicans calling boricuas fanboys because they think that cotto will beat canelo. Canelo needs to defend that belt of his against a top 10 fighter or else hell be just like Berto and that other fraud chavez jr.
Matthew hatton is not even that good. Atleast Gomez could say he beat castillo and gatti.(they were shot)
MAthew Hatton is better than Gomez and tougher. I could have beaten those versions of Castillo and Gatti.......seriously.
Cotto's too smart for Alvarez and hits maybe a little too hard for what Canelo's been used to up till now.
Alvarez also isn't your quintessential Mexican pressure fighter. He's a lot more patience and tries Boxing more than brawling. I believe even Alvarez being bigger than Cotto, he gets hurt in the fight with counter left hook both to the head and body from Cotto.
When I was watching the Canelo-Hatton match I found myself visualizing Cotto in there with Canelo----this is a fight Cotto wins, Canelo has no head movement and isn't powerful enough to even knock ww matthew hatton down---Cotto all the way (GBP will never make the fight, and the WBC is protecting Canelo)
This is the criteria for being considered mexican in boxing
1. born and raised in Mexico
2 born to poverty
3. Speak no English
4. fight stlye has to be come forward
5. defense is your chin
6. never stop until either you get brain damaged knocked out or the ref stops the fight
and you cant weight more that 154 lbs
Yes I know , I know that is the dumb criteria they go by. Yet el20uatro has Margarito on his sig.
Yeah and the same thing happened to cotto early in his career too more than once
but he went on to win those fights just as Saul did
so really whats your point?
cotto wasnt rocked @ 147 by a blown up 135 fighter. He was rocked by guys from the same weight division.
thats my point and its very clear.
Will canelo be better than cotto ???/ thats a possibility. RIght now, cotto beats him. But since this is only an opinion you can debate with me the opposite.. I dont mind.
el20cuatro does not approve this. He says you have to be born in Mexico to be Mexican.

You have your hopes up on the right guy. But not at the right time.
You say Cotto hasnt had an impressive win in years. Well share with us , which Canelo win was impressive. And I like the guy. I think he has a great future. But dont fool yourself.
Cottos brother rocked him 2 weight classes above his. And Cotto is by far a better fighter/puncher/boxer/finisher... etc.
Canelo will not last 12 like mayorga.
In fact , Mayorga did so good. He did so much better than I expected , that he should fight Canelo.
Canelo cannot bang with Cotto at this moment.
I see Cotto losing a Margarito rematch. Maybe then , Canelo can beat him. After he is truly beaten up.
Right now , he has lost to the best fighter of this era , and to an iron chin badass. Who might have been cheating.
Canelo gets destroyed. Plain and simple.
lol his older brother who is 135 at most fighter almost koed him.. @ 147 :lol1: ..
right now cotto still > canelo....
Yeah and the same thing happened to cotto early in his career too more than once

so really whats your point?
Is there a reason you brought up Mayweather? Let's not go there, you are going to attract Pinoys then this thread will really go in the wrong direction.
And I do not believe that Pacquiao has fought anybody. There have always been better fighters available, but he has not fought them. He has avoided "boxers" since he left 126, with the exception of shot fighters at the end of their careers. David Diaz? Why did Pacquiao never fight a guy like Juan Diaz? The fact is that he has fought the EASIEST competition in every weight class he has moved up to, with the exception of Marquez, and you can not tell me that Pacquiao was the same dominant fighter against him that he was against the competition he's fought lately.
Pacquiao is a great fighter, I enjoy him very much, but I believe a good boxer will pick him apart.
gtfoh. better fighters? like who? the fukken mango eater has fought and beat everyone under the sun who will take the challenge.
cotto would murk the ginger.
the ginger isn't a true mexican. not like marg or angulo.
el20cuatro does not approve this. He says you have to be born in Mexico to be Mexican.
I just want to get this straight, are you seriously trying to argue that Pac hasn't fought anyone?
Come on man, serious?
Let's look at it from this perspective, Pac has ZERO business fighting guys like Clottey, Marg, DLH, Cotto and anyone else at that weight. Fighters by the way Mayeather has avoided like the black plague....
Pac is one of the greatest fighters of our generation and one of the greatest fighters of all time. When will people stop making arguments based on emotion?

And you are not worth debating with because you are obviously an idiot. He lost to Morales, Barrera was past it, Marquez beat him, DLH was a zombie, Cotto was a good win, Clotty and Margarito were both cherry picked punching bags that nobody wanted to see.
He lost to Erik Morales, then got beat by Marquez and he has not fought a good fighter at the top of their game since.
LOL LIKE I SAID BEFORE, YOU ARE RETARDED!!!!!!
Morales beat him and then he came back and demolished him, Barrera past it? c'mon son, Marquez beat him? hmm you should've been scoring the fights if that was the case....
You said he hadn't fought anybody since 126, don't justify that **** with Marquez beating him, or Morales beating him dummy....
