How bad do you think Canelo would damage Cotto?

Would it be Margarito 1 bad, Pacquiao bad..? Or....do you have another example you would care to share...?

I think it would look like Shane-cotto, with cotto being like Shane, the aged vet fighting the young gun, competitive but not enough in the tank to win a decision

Josesito lopez bad.

Just Cotto aint as young as Josesito so he wont be able to bounce back that beatdown will retire him.

pretty even fight ..cotto might be shot but he still has a above average skill set...

In my honest opinion I think Canelo would batter cotto. Too big, too strong, too much hand speed and combinations. Look at all of Cottos losses besides margarito, all against guys with fast hand speed and combinations and that could box. Even Clottey was busting Cotto up. I think at this stage of Cotto, Alvarez gives him that work. Especially if Canelo moves to 160. This is the perfect time for Canelo to fight Cotto.

I agree, still a tough fighter with skills and he is the 3rd Biggest draw ppv wise behind manny and Floyd. Him vs Canelo would do over a million buys. Especially if Cotto somehow beats Martinez. Mega fight. Canelo is a young beast in his prime, he doesn't get enough credit but that kid is for real. He would box and move, throw the jab and explode with combos. Cottos experience and skill will keep him competitive but I think eventually Canelo would take over the fight and win.

I think it would be a very competitive fight, much more than people think. I think Cotto has the better jab, superior skillset, and experience. Canelo has the size and the power advantage (not by much), but his feet are slow and his defense is average. I see a close competitive fight 115-113 either way, maybe a MD decision. Cotto might dominate the rounds early but lose the late rounds with Canelo not putting in enough pressure to hurt Cotto too much (neither guy has great stamina).

Canelo is not that good, and it will show against Lara.

I agree with your post.

The bottom part about Canelo not being good I feel isn't true. Even if he were to lose to Lara, that wouldn't make him not good. He's one of the best young fighters in the sport today.

I think Canelo does everything better than Cotto right now.

Not as bad as what Sergio is going to do to him.
