    Canelo vs Cotto - Your thoughts and predictions?

    If Floyd shows no interest in fighting Canelo, it looks like they're gonna go with Miguel Cotto on PPV.

    First and foremost, what is your opinion on the fight if it were to get made?

    Canelo by UD or TKO. Cotto's only advantage here is stamina and not by much at all. Canelo is bigger, faster and stronger.

    Would be amazing if he could beat Canelo, though.

        Cotto will be taking his usual knees by round 4. Cotto has a great jab and is a really good fighter but he is past prime and he can keep up with a young Canelo. The biggest disadvantage would be the size advantage for Canelo that's why he won't gas before hurting Cotto

          I'll bet my account on it

            Are people okay with this fight considering Cotto would be coming off of two UD losses?

            Aside from that, I still think it's a great fight. People still question what Canelo would do to a seasoned JMW like Cotto. I'm sure Canelo would be happy to have another large name on his resume. Though you can never count out Cotto. Then you have all of the usual aspects that would make this fight appealing, such as the Mex-PR rivalry with both having large fanbases backing them.

              I'd rather see Canelo fight the Lara/Angulo winner. Let Cotto get a decent win again first.

                To be fair, Cotto also has a huge advantage in ring IQ, and an effective jab (something that troubles Canelo).

                    Canelo is bigger and better than Cotto. Decision or KO. Cotto is a one handed fighter and slowed down in 2008.
