Cotto in shape committed moving and throwing a stiff jab could school Canelo based off what I saw. He's a much harder puncher than Lara or Trout (not 1 punch but lands heavy), has excellent footwork and an INFINITELY more diversified attack than jab/cross Lara. He'll be throwing combinations and Canelo will be a sitting target. Plus he fights well in close quarters he just needs to stay off the ropes and not let Canelo's 170lbs lean on him on some Wlad/Povetkin type stuff (I doubt it, his experience won't allow that).
I think Canelo is good, but this is about as good as it gets....slightly above average and that lack of KO power if he goes to MW is going to be a serious issue for him...I think he knows it too so he can fight naturally smaller guys, hence why he's staying at 154. But I give him props for solid competition in the last year and a half.

It's obvious Canelo is headed to 160 some time in the near future. If he wants a rematch with Floyd, it would have to be at 154. If he wants a MW belt, then I think he should choose Quillen next. That would be a good test to see if he can handle getting hit by someone his own size. After a test with Quillen, then I would shoot for Canelo vs. Cotto on Cinco de Mayo.
