Man I tell you that Canelo and his team believe that Cotto is a cherry pick, passed prime but I can tell you that comes November Canelo will be shocked and stopped by Miguel.
Mark my words and quote this thread. Cotto will school Canelito and stop him under 10 rounds.
Cotto's foot work, ring generalship, ability to get in-out quick, new found angles and faints will cause havoc on Canelo's game plan.
King Cotto's jab is one of the most effective and better timed in boxing. His jab hits like a lead right, he has quite a bit of knock downs with that piston like jab. Cotto's left hook is a beauty, powerful, quick, carries a big punch...either up to the head or down to the body.
I cant see how Canelo is going to be able survive this fight. Canelo has stone feet, no footwork, his ring generalship and IQ is near zero. He does have speed but if you watch his combos, he tends to open up a little longer since when trowing combos the drops both hands below the chin. That will be disastrous with Miguel who is accurate, has deceptive speed and can crack.
Canelo is going to try and exchange and will get caught by King Cotto. Miguel fighting low, fainting the body and coming up with right/left combos, stepping to the side gaining angles and attacking...it will not fair good for Canelo.
Lastly, Miguel has shown to be in excellent form and conditioning for his last 3 fights. On the other hand, we had Canelo admitting that he was gassed by the end of 2nd round against Kirkland who just lost 50+ lbs in 8 weeks and was severely weight drained for his fight.
Cotto will beat down Canelo and the fight will stop with Miguel stopping him under 10 rounds.

And if he is shocked and stopped who cares.
He would have fought a great fighter, gain respect, made money and go on to fight another fighter.
One loss or in this case it would be does not end a fighters career.
Cotto will Def have a shot to beat young Canelo. 50 50 fight Imo. Stop with the KING Cotto crap, I cringe Everytime I read it. I'm a big cotto fan but man that is corny lol
Canelo has a chin and Cotto does not have anywhere near close to the power of Gennady Golovkin.
King Cotto will get in with jabs and faint CaneLOL catching him with a deathly left hook and drop him under 10 rounds. CaneLOL will get up and King Cotto will land some brutal combos on him and the ref will stop the fight.
King Cotto by TKO under 10 rounds!

i don't know about canelo's chin, cotto's brother rocked him bad, i still believe canelo wins this fight, but just because he is the fresher of the 2
Seems like so long ago. I'm not sure his chin has been really tested since but he seems to take shots fairly well. He can get swollen up though and that might be an issue for both he and Cotto.
I agree with the poster who said that this fight could end early. Cotto's pretty savvy but so is Canelo and his combinations are explosive. I doubt it though. Miguel will try to box from the outside and use his movement. I could see it coming down to who has the most reserve in the tank in the latter rounds.
I hope this fight actually lives up to the expectations. I see cotto fighting canelo more boxing than brawling. Hes gonna fight him like he fought margarito 2 or pacquiao in the second half. Which would be boring to watch.
Personally I don't see any place Canelo won't match Cotto. People run quick to the fact Canelo looked Lost in his fight with Mayweather, but how can that be said when Cotto looked lost against much lesser opposition in Trout. I have a great feeling, Canelo will end this fight early. I have yet to see Canelo get hurt since he beat up Cottos little brother that he later gave a punishment too... Cotto on the other hand seems to get stunned by any hard puncher, and even buckled by feather-fisted (as the haters put) Mayweather....
Guarantee we see Canelo giving such a beating, we see Cotto taking yet another Knee... As I put it, his heart is much like Ortiz; Weak!!! Yes Ortiz has quite, but is taking a Ko loss on your knee not quiting? If Cotto were to have his Jaw broke, would you see him quite on his stool... I sure F***ing do.
