That being said Cotto would beat Lara, Angulo is a D class fighter and he [COLOR="RedCOLOR]. Canelo might have more power than Cotto but Cotto would be more accurate, cut off the ring better and has a way higher ring IQ than Canelo. People look at that Trout loss and think Cotto can't beat a boxer, yet he ran Judah out of the ring and beat Mosley. He also beat down Martinez and Foreman... He had a bad night against Trout and didn't even lose that badly maybe 2 - 3 rounds. Just typical Cotto haters saying he sucks. He would beat Lara and then Lara would have always been overrated, just how the story goes here on boxingscene.Last edited by BendOver; 08-29-2014, 01:21 PM.

Originally posted by BendOver View PostNo he wasn't, he won two rounds by scoring knock downs and what it did was wake up lara, the Cuban make a proud mexican warrior quit, not too many can have that in their resume, what will happen if cotto fights lara, I don't know, but I think he will not take that risk, in any case pls don't say that perro was beating "poor Lara" because that's not true... So by your theory canelo should wipe the floor with cotto? And no Lara is not overrated, he just need a new trainer or better strategy

Originally posted by -Antonio- View PostThe only thing Trout and Lara have in common are that they are southpaws. I really don't get the comparison. It's like comparing Cotto and Canelo. Trout out worked Cotto and mixed up his jab and body punches. Lara is a 1-2 fighter who moves well.
If anything Cotto is better equipped to handle a guy like Lara.

Originally posted by icha View Postyou are using triangle theories, styles make fights, your A-Class fighter was beaten and end it up with a pizza face courtesy of Trout who is a ?-Class fighter... canelo and lara are much better than trout at this point, so stop the triangle theories, until cotto finds the balls to face either lara or canelo is nothing but a fantasy fight... on the mean time let cotto get another ¨soft touch¨like delvin rodriguez or andy lee...
Guess what, that isn't a triangle theory. It's a well known FACT that Cotto was running 8 miles everyday and sparring well over 100 rounds with the Cuban. He ran him into the ground and add the fact that Cotto underestimated Trout, and a night like that happens. That isn't a triangle theory, its the very definition of styles make fights. At least Cotto won 4 rounds against Floyd, Canelo maybe won the last round when Floyd half ass fought knowing a win was in the bag. Also... a Canelo fan is the last person to talk about a soft touch, that is his entire career. He's fought 3 top guys in his division after 40 pro fights and you guys are bagging on Cotto. BWHAHAHA!!!Last edited by Beater_of_ass; 08-29-2014, 03:29 PM.

Originally posted by Bardock View PostIf cotto is an A class fighter and got his **** tossed by trout then you cant call canelo a B class fighter. And liek Icha said, your triangle theories are **** and cotto already lost to trout and would never rematch him. No disrespect to cotto but styles make fights

Canelo at this point is a B+ type boxer and Cotto is a B. However, during his prime, Cotto was a better than Canelo is at this point on offense, defensively I would give it to Canelo.

Originally posted by Beater_of_ass View PostI just spoke on the "triangle theory" so you can read that post. As for Cotto getting his **** tossed against Trout... Did you watch the fight? Cotto only lost by 2 or 3 rounds it was anything but, it's the definition of a bad fight. Canelo is a B class fighter whose best wins are 2 fights against other B class fighters that could have gone the other way.
