Comments Thread For: Erik Morales Feels Cotto Made Mistake in Facing Canelo

[boxingfan4life]

I disagree with Morales on this one. Besides GGG, what other opponent would be suitable for Cotto besides Canelo.

Eric Morales is an idiot.

He's an idiot because he does not agree with you? Okay, you're right.

He's a idiot for saying a win over a younger possibly stronger fighter does nothing for cotto legacy

Canelo is not a pressure fighter.

[SeekDaGreat]

Canelo is not a pressure fighter.

What did he do to Lara to comeback and win that fight?

[bigjavi973]

So he doesn't like the choice because it is a difficult opponent.....

but a victory over Canelo doesn't make him any greater?

[Nightfall]

What did he do to Lara to comeback and win that fight?

alvared did nothing but swing at the air and left himself wide open. it was Lara that did'nt do anything that cost himself the fight.

[Toltec77]

I don't agree with everything Morales said but I see Canelo winning a hard fight in the end.

For all those who dont speak spanish let me tell you that translations could be very far from what the interviewed could be saying that being said i would love to see a link or the actual transcript in spanish... Saludos ala gente de tijuana linea .7.1.4 ala orden señores

“Al menos en el papel, se equivocó Cotto porque en términos generales no le deja mucho, quizá dinero, pero pues está muy complicado”,

“Una pelea difícil, complicada para los dos; sin embargo, creo que el mexicano tiene la ventaja por el tipo de boxeo que tiene, la juventud y porque puede poner presión, Cotto no es un peleador que le guste la presión, que no soporta la presión y la lógica nos dice que tendría que ganar Canelo sin problemas, pero forzando la pelea”
“Los primeros asaltos para Canelo deberían ser difíciles. Para Cotto, su experiencia y capacidad no las podemos negar, es fuerte, es un peleador de mucha experiencia y seguramente los primeros cuatro o cinco rounds lo va a manejar, le va a dar la vuelta, lo va a golpear, pero a base de los rounds y presión debe ceder.

“La juventud es un factor total, Cotto ha tenido muchas guerras y la mayoría de las peleas que ha perdido ha salido demasiado lastimado, muy lastimado, Canelo es un peleador que no ha tenido tantas guerras, sólo una pelea dura donde se echó para atrás, se sentó en la frustración y no debiera pasar lo mismo, debería tener para presionar toda la pelea”
