There is no way in hell that Cotto has a Chance vs GGG and I don't think he can beat Alvarez either.
GGG Beats him in 3 lopsided rounds, Canelo beats him in 4 lopsided rounds.
And Cotto proved he's 4 times the boxer Canelo's is by how much better he did against Floyd. So, your prediction like your scorecard are wrong.
Floyd vs Cotto: 10-2
Trout vs Cotto: 11-1
Those are Legit Scores.
Lara and Trout have Much better boxing ability than Cotto. Trout proved it in the ring. Trout vs Cotto was not a close fight. I agree with Adalaide Byrd's scorecard. I only gave Cotto round 9.

I think Cotto takes Canelo. I like Golovkin, but since he hasn't been in the ring with anyone who is even as skilled as Cotto, I think Cotto gives him a run for him money. I agree, Golovkin looks spectacular when fighting cab drivers and tomato cans, but the question in my mind is, when he steps in the right with an elite fighter, does he still look that good?
What drugs do you take, you think Trout and Lara are better boxers than Cotto? All Lara did was run, there was no schooling there just a marathon. Trout was a close fight, no one was schooled. Floyd made Canelo look like a fool and Cotto will do the same, while also making Canelo's face match his hair.
Fantastic... please tell me how you know the mental state of each fighter. Canelo's coming off the Lara performance and Cotto is coming off dominating the MW champion. I'm not going to say either guy has a mental advantage because I don't know. The beatings mean nothing Cotto is fresh at least physically, his chin is forever damaged because of the beatings, but that's why I gave that advantage to Canelo. It's really the only advantage he has and possible power, but I think they're about even there also.

Sherman is exactly what's wrong with sports and the media these days. Nobody cared about him or said he was the best until he got in front of the camera and started screaming like a damn fool. Now he's on the cover of Madden. Smh and then ppl wonder why being humble gets u no where like Ward for example and being a loud mouth like Floyd gets u $30 million dollar ppv fights.
Because that is the way the sports world works. And there is nothing we as fans can do about it.
I think a more appropriate question for your poll is, "When will GGG stop fighting tuneups?" GGG has fought 31 tuneups so far. Cotto had already fought the best fighters at 140 and 147 by the time he fought his 31st fight. He didn't wait for some fighter from 135 to move up to fight him. He moved up himself.
So, how many fights will GGG have to have before he steps up to take on the biggest challenge out there like Cotto did?
Here's an appropriate question, Why are all the good fighters ducking GGG, Why is the competition ducking GGG? Because they are scared. GGG will eventually get his first loss to ward but before that fight happens, GGG Will be the biggest name in boxing and will be the first name that is talked about when anyone talks about the sport of boxing. Then the Pride of the Bay Area will master class him and will show everyone that he is not done and that a long layoff doesn't mean anything when it comes to the talent that he has.

As Richard Sherman would say. U Mad Bro.

Not happening. Canelo isn't even as strong as margarito and cotto boxed his face off in the second fight. Cotto can also hurt canelo. Cotto should really want this fight, beat him and retire.
Margarito was slow and ran into shots, though. Not a good comparison.
well Canelo and GGG are 2 fighters in the top 10 p4p...so I don't really understand your statement or what you are trying to get at.
What I mean, is that cottos career is going to be over soon. And he will probably fight around 2 or 3 more times and he has 39 wins, 1 away from 40. If those two opponents are Golovkin and Alvarez, he is not getting a 40th win.

.....................
I guess everyone forgot that Canelo was ROCKED by Cotto's little brother who is not even half the boxer his older brother is.....
GGG is a great fighter I really like him BUT marshmallow puncher and class C fighter Gaby Rosado may have showed us that GGG can be beat. If only Rosado had some punch I bet GGG would have not escaped that easy cuz Rosado connected him at will on a few combinations. Yes he got rocked and lost in 7 rounds something that not even Rubio could do.
Tim Bradley is one of my favorite fighters dude has a heart bigger than his head BUT he likes to exchange and there is where Cotto would hurt him bad.
Cotto under Freddie roach is 100% not the same fighter that fought and lost to Trout. I dont think Cotto even cared about that fight it was the worse I seen Cotto.
Bottom line Cotto would either take GGG's soul or his own soul would be taken. 50 / 50 chance for both who ever connects first We all know Cotto has a slid chin but GGG???
Cotto vs Canelo: 75 / 25 Cotto on a masterful counter match and boxing display
Tim vs Cotto: 60 / 40 Cotto as Tim will try to exchange and gets caught.
Any attempt to hate on Cotto at this point is just nonsense... He is a future HOF, also fought everyone in their prime that was a threat... to name a few: Pacquiao, Mayweather, Judah, Mosley, Margarito.
Everyone and their mom would fight Pac/Mayweather for money. People need to quit making that into something that isn't. It's not hating, it's reality. This everyone crap is a complete myth. He's taken risks, but there is more boxers out there that have taken a lot more than Cotto and those same fans turn and call them names.
Please don't put Judah in there. Hell I think the Quintana fight was more meaningful than that one.
Boxer fans love to exaggerate.

This guy and his dumb threads.
He might get his 40th career cut..... his face just can't hold up to the punishment, even against Martinez his face was badly swollen after the fight and he dominated that one.
Exactly.....for a site that berates fighter for ducking it's incredible, Cotto has fought everyone. I remember people were going on about him ducking Sergio...haha
Oh fuggg! Yeah, I completely forgot about that one! lol!!! Crazy!!!!
lol what the hell dude "his knee was fine"
It was. He may have re-injured it during the fight, but that wasn't because he was hurt going in. He got punched in the head and his balance went to sh*t the rest of the fight. This happens in boxing, you should try watching sometime. Go look at Judah's chicken dance, Cotto getting funky in the Corley fight. Guys get hit in the dome and their legs get wobbly, that's what happened with Sergio and it kept happening. Now, I'm not saying his knee was 100% after that, he may have well twisted it because he was dazed. But he didn't have any major knee injury like what Foreman had, that's just being butthurt because you picked the wrong guy.
You typed all that and all I read was Martinez got his ass beat. His knee was fine, the only people who say his knee was bad are people who can't deal with the loss or don't know sh*t about boxing. You're probably both, I mean Sergio didn't run across the ring in round 6 with no problems. We all know that Yuri was faking his torn ACL, you're knee doesn't actually lock up like that when it's hurt. When you have a banged up knee you're able to run and move around for 9 rounds.
lol what the hell dude Sergio's his knee was "fine" and Yuri was "faking it" both in the same post
Have some shame
Cotto fans are something else, in a league of their own
