Well

I thought Canelo would be the winner of the fight. But as mentioned prior, Canelo was rocked bad by Miguel's brother. As shown here

Cotto going to throw the fight so he doesn't have to face GGG next! lol, sorry just had to.

But in reality, I also give the edge to Canelo is that he's young, strong, and hungry. You can't count out Cotto's experience, but Canelo is a solid boxer when he wants to be just as Cotto can switch it up. If they were both in their prime, I'd say it's 50/50 but now I'd say it's more 60-40 in Canelo's favor.

Again, who? What power punchers were they going to put in front of him? Who are these guys.

Really??? While he was fighting welterweights at super welterweight, mainly for the WBC Silver title, all of these guys was in the top 10 by ring magazine from 2009-end of 2011 that canelo could have fought but didn't:

Vanes Martirosyan, Serhiy Dzinziruk, Sechew Powell, Joachim Alcine, Zaurbek Baysangurov, Deandre Latimore.

only top ten guys he fought were Kermit Cintron & Ryan Rhodes. Then he fought old man Mosley & welterweight Josesito Lopez.

2013 they were negotiating a fight. Trout spoiled it.
2015 try to negotiate a fight.
2015 again they are negotiating the fight.

This is the 3rd round of negotiations.

If you think Canelo ducked Clottey that's on you. That would have been nothing more than a mere offensive show casing for Canelo. That fight was about as much a threat as the Kirkland fight.

Again, these are just opinions of mine, and opinions of yours. I'm not saying this to be fact.

HAHAHA no way... Clottey's chin is a hell of a lot better than Kirkland's chin.

triangle theories? ok, lets play that game, lara had trout on canvas not once but twice, cotto couldnt even hurt trout, so lara hits harder than cotto by that theory , so if lara couldnt hurt canelo, cotto wont even bother him...

Now where did I use a triangle theory??? When did I say anything to the sort that cuz this guy beat that guy he'll be that guy too cuz he lost to the other guy.

I said nothing of the sort & even Trout has stated that Cotto never really caught him flush.

Thats true.

Canelo then fought he 4 best JMW's on the planet CONSECUTIVELY.

I would say Canelo has by far the best resume during that timeframe.

Nobody fought better opposition than Canelo during that timeframe.

April 2013 - July 2014.

April 2013 - July 2014.

And the thing is this.... Canelo selected Lara against the wishes of his promoter.

Hoya was fuming when he heard that Schaeffer signed that fight.

Hoya and Schaeffer both attempted to steer Canelo away from Lara, but Canelo demanded the fight because the fans wanted it..... Canelo knew that some fans were saying that Lara would beat him.

I was not a big Canelo fan..... but the red-head kid came good.

Conversely..... Team Golovkin selected Monroe over Lara, and justified that by stating that Monroe was the bigger draw

Angulo & Kirkland are no where near the top of the SWW division.

Angulo & Kirkland are no where near the top of the SWW division.

They were in name recognition Javi, that's all that matters that makes them A level fighters right on the cusp of the top 10 P4P.
