I got Miguel Cotto by UD!

[RL_GMA]

The only fight i see cotto in is his current battle with alcoholism. The man parties way too much to be taken serious anymore

Yea he is quite the partier from what I've been told from people who live on the island and have seen him. But then again, Leonard and Oscar loved that Cocaina during their primes lol.

Cotto needs to forget about Canelo. No need for him to be another faded welter on canelo's resume. Cotto F'd up when he chose Trout over Bundrage. If he would've fought K9 like all Cotto fans were begging him to he'd be sitting pretty with "a" strap and maybe looking at one last huge payday. Instead he took on a young southpaw/big light middleweight. Friggin dummy. He needs to fall back and wait for Molina-Ishe winner and lobby to get whoever is standing between those 2. Instead of risking serious permanent injury at the hands of Canelo. If he decides to put down the beers and fight at 147 he has a shot at redemption but no way no how at 154.

Cotto stands a chance against Canello if...And ONY if...he attacks him when Canello is resting...he gets gassed too. Gotta go back to them body shots...the head will follow. Develop defense against uppercuts. It's possible. Depending how hard Cotto trains, how much he wants it, conviction.

Canello's a sturdy healthy dude. Doesn't know what it's like to take vicious beatings. Cotto's gun shy, but time will tell how determined. Could be a good fight. If Cotto wins, I'd be surprised.

they both gas out by the 7th...if Cotto lasts that long

Styles do make fights, but I don't think Cotto would be able to handle Canelo's flush shots for 12 rounds tbh. He'll be hurt really bad halfway through when he loses his stamina.

i agree but canleo also loses his stamina (I'd say he has worser stamina problems then cotto)........and to beat cotto you need to throw a lot of punches (mayweather, trout, margarito, pac, all threw a lot of punches to beat cotto) canelo is a spurt fighter......cotto can take a good single power shot. consistency is what kills cotto.

not spurts.

canelo gases by the 4th & then from there on he fights in spurts.

cotto is a solid 8 round fighter and then he runs in the later rounds.........

cotto obviously has the better stamina of the 2.

spurt with real junior middle power will tear up Cotto. Cotto wont be able to handle the left hook to the liver Canelo will be landing at will.. Canelo stops cotto in 7 rounds tops

would love to see it...........i think cotto is gonna shock a lot of people (based on the styles) and canelos way of fighting in spurts.

We really still don't know if Canelo takes a good punch, he would certainly get wet in against Cotto, who has always been heavy handed. Until Canelo ticks all these boxes off, people will doubt him so he must take these challenges on and prove himself.

[NearHypnos]

Canelo gasses in 6 and Cotto in 8... Difference being is that Canelo has (seems to) that weird ability to still throw short vicious shots all 12 and is good for an explosive combination. Cotto runs and becomes an arm puncher...it's why everybody has beaten him down the stretch he just goes into a defensive shell (an ineffective one at that...).


Cotto can't hurt Canelo. He's just not a big enough puncher. Never has been. He has heavy hands but not big concussive power. He used to break people down to the body but these guys at 154 are too strong. Cotto was a good puncher at 147 and under..but is a decent one at 154.
