Cotto is a lot better than Canelo! And Cotto was a competitive fight for Floyd. Cotto hit Floyd enough to make Floyd uncomfortable.

      I don't understand the hate for Cotto, the guy is a great fighter and has always shown a wllingness to adapt. YES as one poster put it Cotto was not silly enough to box Floyd, he went at him with a strategy that guaranteed more success. While the Cotto Mayweather fight was not close, it was hardly a mismatch and Floyd won but did not outclass Cotto.

      I feel like if Cotto had not had his "Blue period" he would have done a better job against Manny. He actually was doing well and then seemed to cave in and Manny really did a number on him. This fight was seminal and has given the naysayers a lot of ammo they would never have.

      Here is the thing about Cotto: even in the first chetarigo fight he was winning until he decided not to clinch and inexplicably let Margo walk him down. Cotto beat a still decent Shane Mosley, etc.

      How does one compare a possible ATG to a young fighter with many years left to perfect the craft? AS of right now? Cotto takes Canelo to school, WATCH the Mayweather fight versus Cotto! Cotto is more technically sound than the haters think
      The truth right here. Green K!

        I agree brother! Something was up with Miguel that night. His camp was not right, his training cycle was cut short due to his mother, and may be there were some head bumping with Diaz? Reason why the broke up?

        Departing the mountains way early hurt him big time and his offensive plan was not what it should have been.

        Either way, Cotto > Canelo....!

        Miguel should walk through Rod and set Cotto vs Canelo for 5 de Mayo 2014!

          Canelo will beat Cotto, and I think rather easily. I think people are confusing the game plan Floyd had for both fights...Floyd played a lot smarter against Canelo and didn't take many chances because he knew what "could" happen. I don't think Floyd felt like Cotto every really was going to do anything to him. Oh a bloody nose....its boxing it happens but did Floyd ever look like he was in actual trouble in that fight? Cotto almost got KO'd at the end and lost 9 rounds.

            Cotto lost 9 rounds? And Canelo lost what? I tell you, ALL 12 and was taken to school and did not land a single SOLID shot all night long.

            Get out of here with that BS bro.

                    Cotto performed better than Canelo.

                    Both were one sided fights but Canelo could barely touch Mayweather at all.

                    But styles make fights.
