Canelo vs Cotto - Your thoughts and predictions?

Canelo outboxes him. Wins a UD. Probably 8-4/9-3 kind of fight with Cotto having his moments early and fading down the stretch. I see something similar, but with Cotto getting stopped late.

Canelo UD, only because Canelo's subpar foot work. Cotto is still skilled enough to go to distance.

Canelo will beat Cotto in a easy UD. I dont think a TKO will happen because Canelo dont have the stamina to make Cotto back pedal for 12 rounds and Canelo will fight smart. He knows he dont need a KO to beat him either. Why risk it?

I voted Canelo by KO. I don't think Cotto can handle that kind of speed, power and accurate combination punching to the head and body. Don't worry, we will all find out how this fight goes when it happens in September if my prediction of future fights comes true. I am pretty sure this is Canelo's next fight.

Canelo via a bloody UD or TKO. Cotto should go back to 147. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Hope this fight doesn't happen. Cotto should go back to 147lb.. Cotto stop being lazy and get back down to 147l. Please I don't want to see you get hurt, that's all

To be fair, Cotto also has a huge advantage in ring IQ, and an effective jab (something that troubles Canelo). I think the IQ is overshadowed by Canelo's youth and athleticism. His head movement and defense proved more effective against Trout than Cotto's ring IQ.

I think Canelo gets the KO/TKO, he has faster hands and if you stand in front of him too long he'll get in his power punches. Fast hands are key to beating canelo and cotto's speed is just not up there. I believe Canelo would also have the reach advantage, combined with his speed advantage I dont think he'll have much trouble catching the slower plodding cotto but you never know, cotto's a great puncher and has his timing down to make up for his speed.

its a waste of time. 1 its not a ppv worthy fight at all. 2 cotto has no business at 154, especially vs someone who weighs 170+ on fight night. But if its cottos last fight and wants a pay day then go for it. If he plans to keep on fighting he should go to 147 Everyone here says he can't make 147 anymore though. In fact he hinted at fighting Martinez at 160...

Canelo is bigger and better than Cotto. Decision or KO. Cotto is a one handed fighter and slowed down in 2008.

Canelo by UD or TKO. Cotto's only advantage here is stamina and not by much at all. Canelo is bigger, faster and stronger. Would be amazing if he could beat Canelo, though. To be fair, Cotto also has a huge advantage in ring IQ, and an effective jab (something that troubles Canelo).

I'd rather see Canelo fight the Lara/Angulo winner. Let Cotto get a decent win again first.

Are people okay with this fight considering Cotto would be coming off of two UD losses? Aside from that, I still think it's a great fight. People still question what Canelo would do to a seasoned JMW like Cotto. I'm sure Canelo would be happy to have another large name on his resume. Though you can never count out Cotto. Then you have all of the usual aspects that would make this fight appealing, such as the Mex-PR rivalry with both having large fanbases backing them.

Cotto will be taking his usual knees by round 4. Cotto has a great jab and is a really good fighter but he is past prime and he can keep up with a young Canelo. The biggest disadvantage would be the size advantage for Canelo that's why he won't gas before hurting Cotto

Cotto by KO ;)
