Canelo would DESTROY miguel cotto

[SCtrojansbaby]

Clearly he is not as shot as Baldomir, or he would have made the ***ish fighter look like gold in his last fight.

lol Yuri Foreman was fighting on one leg my grandmother could have won that fight. Cotto is every bit as washed up as Baldomir.

The ricans are scared to death of the new mexican superstar canelo. The kid is getting better every fight, hardly even 20 years old, got great power. Even roy jones said his hooks to the body were up there with HIS.

yet canelo himself says he needs to wait 2 more fights before he steps up his competition. wow i'm scared to death

By your logic Muhammad Ali sucks he didn't step up the competition until he was 21

Adrian Boner is skilled by supposedly "outboxing" De Leon but Alvarez is a bum.....Bull****!!!!!

took forever for cotto to hurt that bum yuri foreman, even with 1 leg. Canelo runs him over.

Apparently you're not understanding the Knee-Jerk reactionary, retaliation comments in this thread.

TS said that Canelo would destroy Cotto, jumping the gun.

And fans are saying the opposite. That's all.

Had this thread never been made, Canelo wouldn't be catching any flack. As it stands, Cotto is the better fighter. He came through the Amateur system and was polished from the get-go, and Canelo is coming up through the Mexican System - which is start fighting Professionally at age 16 and get to 40 fights by the time you're a young Adult.

Cotto has his flaws but is a proven fighter against slick styles (Quintana, Malignaggie, Judah, Foreman), Strong fighters with speed (Mosley), Pressure fighters (Torres), and even Margarito to some extent- minus the TKO loss.

Canelo so far has proven that he can beat brothers of famous fighters, so lets not jump the gun.

I'm hoping you're not referring to me when you say "let's not jump the gun." In my very own post I said I don't think Canelo can defeat Cotto at this point in both of their careers. Like you said, Canelo started boxing at a young age. Which in other words means, he's learning on the job.

Cotto is proven, yet just as, if not more vulnerable than Canelo. Canelo can box, use his feet, throw combinations and land crisp body punches. He's green but he has a lot to learn. His head movement can be better, but that didn't seem to be an issue with Matthew Hatton tonight. As far as the thread goes, I was just retaliating to the video of the "other" Cotto because it's been used in other threads outside of this one. There isn't a fighter in the world that hasn't looked vulnerable, been caught or had an off night. If people are complaining cause Canelo's not KO'ing the brothers or cousins of big name fighters then so be it.

He's 20 years old. Who exactly would you be fighting if you were in his shoes? Would you step up and test your skills against someone like Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito or even Angulo? The kid even said he wants 2 more fights before he steps it up a notch.

If Cotto is proven, then that means that he is NOT as vulnerable as Canelo. Getting caught in a early fight is one thing, but Cotto did his thing against top oppositon.

Well it happens to hotshot prospects. There is a video out there of Cotto doing a funny dance after getting wobbled by Chop Chop Corley.

I don't blame the kid, he is taking the path his Management is setting for him.

However, this is one of the worst Set-up fights to win your first Title Belt in a long time. Andre Berto's win of the Vacant WBC belt being a close second.

Not only did they not fight a top contender for the WBC Belt, but they fished out a guy from a weight-class below to do it. What are we even debating here now? I don't know. I personally don't wanna hear about these guys being compared to the likes of Cotto, until they actually start competing on their level.

I'm not buying the hype, until I see him in with something resembling of a World Class fighter at his prime. So far on paper, Baldomir is his best win.

HBO is wasting money that they could be using on better fights to showcase him because he can sell tickets (as if that matters to a American HBO Subscriber who doesn't live in Mexico)

We've seen Cotto get knocked down, knocked out, quit and even been hurt on numerous occasions. These are all professional boxers, if you get hurt for 30 seconds in a 12 round bout, it really shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Well it happens to hotshot prospects. There is a video out there of Cotto doing a funny dance after getting wobbled by Chop Chop Corley.

and there's no reason to post it. Like I said, every boxer has been hurt, been in a vulnerable position and even had an off-night. Trying to bring a boxer down over a single clip of a 12 round fight is useless, especially if that same boxer went on to win the fight quite easily.

I don't blame the kid, he is taking the path his Management is setting for him.

And I can't refute how horrible this match-up was. I can't argue that Baldomir is his best win. Hell, I can't even blame Saul for agreeing to fight for the title because it took 2 people to agree to this fight.

So that's my final post regarding this. Props though. I'll send you some green K for being a knowledgeable poster.
