Comments Thread For: Canelo Hungers To Boost Profile By Beating Cotto

[Da Boxer]

I think you're putting too much emphasis on size and not enough on skill. If it were based on size than Cotto should have lost his last 3 bouts as well as a majority of others that he gives up size advantages. Rodriguez, Sergio, and Geale average: 5'11height, 72 in reach/ Cotto 5'7 height, 67 in reach. Size can be an overrated way to measure a fight.

Theres no need to discredit a potential win for either fighter. This is a very good fight between 2 top fighters, people should enjoy it for what its worth since boxing doesn't always make the best fights possible.

Eubanks? A guy with 20 bouts who isn't even a year removed from losing to Billy Joe Saunders...c'mon man! Quillin? Sure, I'd favor Kid Chocolate...2 years ago. This version of Kid Chocolate who wouldn't even defend his title, couldn't make weight, got his a$$ handed to him by Andy Lee, and is coming off an impressive win versus a stripper...c'mon man! Lemieux? Okay debatable because of Lemmy's physical gifts but he got his hands on his first title and people want to anoint him cream of the crop. Well, beating N'Dam is a start but not enough to forget Rubio or Alcine just yet. Lemmy has more to prove. GGG? It truly depends on how Cotto looks vs. Canelo and GGG looks vs. Lemmy. As of right now, GGG gets in Cotto's a$$.

All good points. Good assessment.

When Canelo steamrolls Cotto as many predict, will he fight GGG next? What will the excuse if he doesn't fight GGG?

The winners of GGG/Lemieux and Canelo/Cotto need to fight in 2016.

Both fights are going to be fun as hell, but we want to see the MW division crown a unified champion. Everything is falling into place, and these are the biggest fights that can be made so there's nothing to hold things up but egos and bad business.

I got Canelo to beat Cotto and Golovkin to beat Lemieux. Both by stoppage. The Cotto v. Canelo fight I think will be more competitive and last longer though.
