Comments Thread For: Canelo: Three Years Ago I Knew I Could Beat Cotto

[Reloaded]

pretty sure "you knew" you could beat Floyd as well. but you are not that good, lets keep it real , you just have tons of fans

He has to be thinking like that and he believes he can bet him , so in reality he is keeping it real , both these guys are real fighters and we will see some stellar power boxing in this fight, and it could easily make the fight of the year . Its a pickum fight for me, this is such a quality fight I cant wait .

He could have. Weight-drained is a whole new story. Floyd threw only a couple of rights, jabs, hugs. Never even a scratch on Canelo´s white skin. Let´s have a rematch at the full weight. GGG also will accept being weight-drained but Floyd preferred a tomato can named Berto?? Hahahahaha.

canelo was flat out not ready for that fight. he should of fought lara and cotto BEFORE mayweather. he was outclassed and was not ready for that level of competition. 2 pounds would not have made a difference

Both of their competition has lacked, the best out of who they faced was Lara for Canelo, and while Lara could have done more to secure the win, I thought he should have won a close or split decision.

Canelo's team understands he can't be fighting guys who can make him look bad, guys with great skill and movement, that's why he fought Angulo/Kirkland.

Cotto's comp has ****** too tbh with you. Canelo's fought better comp though.

I don't like Canelo, I'm more of a fan of Cotto's, but I don't think Cotto is re-invigorated, and at this point in time I think Canelo may be too strong for Cotto. I do feel like Canelo lacks sometimes on the inside so I dunno. Depends on what Cotto's game plan is, if he boxes, and uses his good jab, he's got a good chance to win. He has a good chance on the inside, but I think Canelo has the power to spark him out.

Spot on, Canelo got ****d mentality and was not in the fight , his entire mindset was all wrong and not seasoned enough to fight Floyd , and he is mechanical and that style has no hope against Floyd . The 2 pounds didnt do much wrong physically, he was sharp strong and he never tired out like he normally did, he just could not do anything .

Floyds very smart he knew where Canelo was at and a good time to take the fight , but by the same token Canelos robotic style will never beat Floyd, if they fought now Floyd would out box him again , that fight was as big as it was for one reason, at the time lots of people thought Canelo would beat him .

For the very reasons you have stated, are the same reasons people don't like him. For lack of a better word, I'm going to use a word I cannot stand. They are called haters. And it's unfortunate.

The Kid stands for everything that's right in the sport and people still found reasons to dislike him.

You mean like fighting in Texas where every decision goes his way? Like robbing Lara that's good for the sport yea FOH

[SlySlickSmooth]

We have some people in the forum who have posted Lara could beat GGG or Mayweather. Canelo had a close fight with that guy!

Fighting Matthew Hatton for a vacant title that's right for the sport?

Fighting Matthew Hatton for a vacant title that's right for the sport?

And that's Canelo's fault?

[Mr.Fantastic]

If he get's his ass kicked, Cotto stans are going to be all on this one.

[Jbee310]

He is so hyped up he beat the top two 154 pound fighters in his division. Including the guy who embarrassed Cotto in front of his crowd. Once Canelo ends Cotto's career he still won't get his props.I'm not a Canelo fan but the kid backs up his shi$ and is willing to fight who ever. Which is rare in our sport today.
