I got Cotto by Unanimous decision, 8 rounds to 4, maybe 9-3.
Cotto's jab alone is going to bloody and bruise Canelo's face.
Based on Cotto's track record i dunno man:

If anyone gets bloodied and bruised it's clearly Cotto. Even after the Martinez fight he swelled quite badly. Once Canelo lands his big shots it's not gonna be pretty unless Cotto's skin tissue magically holds up.
Its a tough fight to call but if it goes the distance i can see Canelo getting it, Cotto took Floyd deep and lost clearly on the cards where as Canelo got Schooled and nearly nicked it! He's the one who has a future in the sport being so young and fresh, there will be many money spinning nights ahead in his career so if its close i expect the forces that be to give it to Alvarez....
Not saying he wont deserve the win, he may well, but i dont have any faith left in the judges at this point.
Hopefully Cotto knocks him out!
Beating Delvin and a cripple doesn't change Cotto looking like **** for years. Canelo walks him down and Roach eventually pulls the plug around the 9th.
I think it's as much about Canelo still not looking all that amazing, as it is about people overrating Cotto's recent wins.
He beat Angulo in more impressive fashion than many expected, but Angulo looked so bad it took the shine off the win to some extent.
You could easily make the case that he lost to Trout, and Floyd beat him significantly easier than he beat Cotto.
The Lara fight got me on board, both taking it and winning it, but it wasn't an awe inspiring performance either.
I'd pick him in this fight, but I can see why people don't see it as a slam dunk.

You must be smoking some damaged hash bro', get off the bad chit.
Are you implying that Canelo hasn't tried to get a fight with Cotto a few times already? Don't make me go and find links that'll prove that you're actually the one that smokes regs bruh. Canelo has been chasing the Cotto fight for a while now. Only delusional creeps will deny that.
I'd go with Canelo. It's close though, mainly because of Canelo not looking hugely impressive against anyone except Angulo. I don't buy Cotto as a powerhouse above 147 at all. Even at 147 his two disasters came when he found he couldn't overpower Manny and Margarito. If he tries that against Canelo he'll catch shots he can't take.
Whoa take it easy there bud, I was simple pointing it out since you made the point of talking about the occasions in which he was hurt. Way to show your true colors.
All good bro, just tryna have a healthy debate because this a really good match up, 50-50 type of fight. I think its more like 55-45 Cotto but anyone who thinks its 55-45 the other way around is resonable. These clowns talking about Canelo demolishing Cotto (or even Cotto demolishing Canelo) dont know the game. its gonna be competitive boxer puncher, give and take fight with some really good moments along the way. Im preety sure it goes to a decision.
And Caneol was rattled big time when he faught Cottos wack as brother a few years back. Whats your point? Cotto also faught Floyd better than almost all of his opponents. One of the very few fighters that was able to think with floyd and bloody him up. Canelo look like an amatuer against Floyd, Lara and Trout. He looked really good aginst washed up Angulo and I liked how he faught the way past prime Mosley.

Werd! And going into the Sergio fight everyone was saying he was going to get demolished, then came that hook. WTH does Sergios knees have to do with that monster left hook that landed in the middle of the 1st round? Nada! good knees or bad knees, he would've still got dropped.
It's common knowledge that Cotto's been avoiding Canelo for years. I'll be surprised if this fight even happens.

He was pretty rattled in the last round against Floyd.

I think his popularity will still be there, and I don't see any indication he drops his trainer although I wouldn't mind that consideration.
If he takes a loss, its likely that there will be some changes....IMHO.
Im talking about regarding his popularity or will he drop Chepo and his team? Etc.

Which fighter with an iron chin has Canelo rattled? Im not saying hes a pillow puncher, hes a good puncher but hes not stopping Cotto. Im not denying that Cotto has been hurt a few times but dont forget, they were all against hard punchers and he won those fights (Corley, Torres, Judah). Dont give me this BS about being stopped against roided up Pac or Plasterito. And it took 11 or 12 rounds for these cheaters to stop Cotto. Cotto has a much better chin than he gets credit for. He took punches with ease from PRIME Randall Bailey, Shane Mosley ...
He was pretty rattled in the last round against Floyd.
Cotto looked great last fight but I am very confident that Canelo would win by KO and I wish the fight was already made.
