    I can see him saying today's Canelo vs today's Cotto "might" be better, but the question he was answering was 2008 version of Cotto compared to Canelo when 2008 Cotto is clearly the more superior more proven fighter.
    Not even that, this old cotto has fought better fighters. Besides Trout and Floyd the rest are a bunch of JWWs and WWs. Canelo still has too prove a lot

      I think Canelo is better but it's unfair to talk about their 154 fights because Canelo is clearly bigger and was always destined to move up in weight fast. Just like Canelo did better against Trout, Cotto did better against Floyd. So it kinda evens out as far as common opponents go(that they fought in their prime).

      And no, Canelo will not KO Angulo in 6. I may give you a late TKO, but i'd be much more comfortable in a 12 round decision. Angulo is huge, he's not a WW like Lopez, or shot like Cintron. Look at the top 10 JMW's Canelo has fought, Rhodes, Trout, Mayweather, his power didn't really show in those fights aside from knocking down Trout and stopping Rhodes in the 12th round, but his power didn't show like it did against Lopez, Gomez and Cintron.
      Cotto lost 9-3 on my card, which is losing BAD in my book and almost got KOd by Pillow Boy Floyd.

      Not to mention they both had different approaches to fighting Floyd. I think if Canelo would have used the Cotto (losing style as well) blue print, he could have pulled it off Better than Cotto as well.

        I don't know if you can really say Canelo is better than Cotto. He did better against Trout, but worse against Floyd. That being said, i think he beats Cotto now but that's a tough fight for him.

          I don't think so. Cotto has a better jab and better body punching.
