This wasn't that great of a fight. Good fight but not a fight I would watch again anytime soon. These "highlights" prove there weren't any special moments in the fight. I'm not impressed with Canelo's win. Not a single KD in the fight and Canelo was landing flush. He beat a past it Cotto. A JMW Cotto masquerading as a MW while he came into the fight as a LHW and couldn't even knock him down. We've seen a better version of Cotto get beat by decisions before. If Canelo is special he should've finished what Margarito and Pacquiao started. Cotto has never been a mover but he moved well enough in this fight. Movement still bothers Canelo. Sorry but I'm not impressed by a prime Canelo getting a decision over a past it Cotto.

It's called styles, Margarito had no other choice but to walk through fire to get to Cotto because he didn't possess the talent to do anything else, fortunately for him he possessed one of the better chins that division has ever seen and that helped him in getting the victory.
Pacquiao will never, I repeat, never have much problems with a fighter who doesn't possess a right hand, so long as Pacquiao can slip the jab (Which he did easily) Pacquiao was going to look great. That's Pacquiao, an ATG.
Canelo neutralized Cotto the best way he knew how and it worked perfectly. Did so in his unique way, I actually enjoyed it and thought Canelo has never looked better.
