Comments Thread For: Cotto: Canelo Will Be Next, Golovkin Maybe in 2016

I have said it before and I will say it again. Cotto will KO both Alvarez and GGG. Alvarez may last eight rounds, but I would say the end will most likely come between the 5th and 6th rounds. He will KO GGG in five rounds if they ever fight.I say if they ever fight because if GGG fights Froch before he fights Cotto, GGG will get KO'd and there will be no Cotto fight.

Canelo is going to realize soon, that the little things Cotto brings to the table are going be the difference. The haters will say shyt like, "Canelo was too young..." "Canelo lacked a little more experience..." In the end, Cotto gets the win and we shut Tianuana down for months.


It bees that way.

"MAYBE" is what it should have been

[big_james10]

canelo has never had to hook with a hooker...cotto has fought shorter combos in margo..and also margo's combo's do not stop..canelo's spurt are not good enough imo..cotto could claim power and speed advan...surely has footspeed, experience, and stamina on his side..i just think this guy is reborn under roach..he's the only person in the world that believe in freddie roach...but it works for him lol...he's fighting low and taking angles when u dont move your feet..canelo will be in for a 2nd schooling from a vet...it's time to stop calling him green and start calling it what it is...he's vastly overrated

Only on this message board can a fighter who has over 40 professional fights who has been a world champion for three years be considered green.

Mayweather proved that Alvarez was overrated. Cotto will proved that Alvarez had no business ever being regarded as one of the top fighters in the world.

Cotto reborn? He got schooled and embarrassed by Trout, the last quality opponent he faced. The same Trout that Canelo dropped and beat. Since the Cotto faced a bum in Rodriguez and cripple in Martinez and a bum in Geale. He's not reborn just looks better as a result of careful match making. Canelo will crush Cotto and make him look bad like Trout did.

u obviously are just a boxrec'er...bc u if u dont see the vast differences in canelo now u cant know anything about boxing..i'm no cotto fan..i've routed against him in many fights, but this guy is showing solid skills...the guy goes from looking like joe frazier with a left hook to looking like lomochencko turning his opponent...his body is forever active in the ring now..cotto vs trout was just moving hands and not his body..

Fun Fact: Because of the extra minute long first round in GGG-Geale, Cotto dropped Geale in exactly the same time it took Golovkin.

canelo tyring to steal mayweather's date imo was a solid way of ducking cotto...oscar sees the new cotto is back...canelo dont get it, but oscar does..canelo was just told to take back the date...oscar knew the fight wouldn ot happen...canelo is 2 or 3 fights away from being cashed out..

cotto is the first to stop him..i'm betting it

You could not have things more backwards if you tried all year. Froch won't fight GGG as he knows that GGG will knock him cold. And if Cotto ever gets enough courage to fight GGG, GGG (before he knocks Cotto out) will give Cotto the beating of a lifetime; a beating that Cotto well deserves.

That "Golovkin maybe in 2016" is really optimist coming from the writer. I think Cotto said that to escape from the question. He was stuttering when heard GGG's name.

Anybody except a GGG hater knows that Cotto gets destroyed by GGG. Freddy Roach knows it and so does Cotto. 'Golovkin is the No. 1 contender for the WBC title and the mandatory challenger, although WBC president Mauricio Sulaimon has said he is willing to make an exception for Cotto to fight Canelo Alvarez if he beats Geale. One condition for that exception, however, is that both Cotto and Alvarez must guarantee they will fight Golovkin next if they win.

Cotto does not appear enamored with that stipulation, and there is speculation he'd rather drop the WBC belt and fight Alvarez in a non-title bout if need be rather than face Golovkin.
