Canelo fight like cotto?

It's not just you, I was watching the fight last night and thought Canelo reminded me a LOT of a younger Cotto. Everything from the way he squares up, throws, moves... it's a bit eerie.

His guard is a little more open than Miguel's though, susceptible to jabs/straights down the middle.

as long as he dont take a knee... nah...

Anyways.. i think canelo should work on his conditioning, i always see him as a fat mofoker... ***n slow... he should get with Nacho..

i think he does look a bit like him with his combinations yeah.

kids only 19(and hes got a kid!) but hes got ages to improve his footwork,defence and conditioning.

i think he needs to go to a top class trainer as soon as possible.

young cotto was a beast while canelo is a fighter in process.

Nacho would be a wise choice.
