Who should be the favorite. Canelo or cotto?

[Chiboxing123]

Maybe it's irrelevant, but I'm getting the sense that the boxing public is picking canelo over cotto as the odds on favorite. I can't help but wonder why? What exactly has canelo done over his career to put him in that position in your eyes. How does canelos boxing abilities match up to cottos. Power,speed,head and foot movement,punch resistance,stamina. My bad if this isn't the best thread just bored and slow at work.

Im thinking Canelo but not by more than .5 to 1.

Cotto, he's faced the better opposition in their careers. Did better against mayw. Has been around longer. And is the Mw champ.

i hope cotto KOs that ginger punk weirdo hype man mexicant.

I think canelo should be around a 2-1 favorite, maybe slightly higher but the fight is really a pick em fight.

This seems like a passing of the torch fight. Canelo just has youth on his side. Prime for prime, id pick Cotto 11x out of 10

I'd lean towards Canelo. But Cotto would be in the hunt given Nelo's difficulty in cutting off the ring and Cotto's reasonable ability to box off the back foot.

If Cotto tried to fight as he has post-Trout he'd be in trouble. Canelo would remind him of what weight-class he's in.

Canelo..... a year ago most people would say Canelo whoops Cotto but because of his wins over the mighty Delvin and Martinez it's near 50/50 on who wins but a fighter don't just get better at 33.

Cotto is the same Cotto that lost to Trout, timing is everything and that's why he rejected Canelo to fight crippled Martinez for less money.
