Cotto vs Canelo -- My Thoughts

[icha]

seems similar to the Danny Garcia vs Mauricio Herrera compubox

danny was outlanded in total punches, canelo wasnt... but you are right compubox shouldnt be used as a judge, i posted that cuz the op said cotto outboxed canelo, i didnt need compubox to get a winner for that fight...

[icha]

This is what I don't understand....Canelo's shots that landed on the gloves were being bigged up as if "oh Canelo is so powerful it still counts"<- That's horse*****

Tell me why Canelo's blocked shots count but Cotto's don't?

they didnt, at leats not to me... they both missed many punches but cotto missed more and was clear, one had the jab as his main weapon, the other had the power punches...

Canelo vs GGG will look like Toney vs Barkley. Canelo is only getting slicker as he evolves. If he added a real jab and footwork he would be the most complete fighter in the game...

To Alvarez's defense, pun intended, the kid has truly bumped up his A game in defense and reflexive skills. Cotto still hits hard and is an excellent boxer.

Cotto vs Pac 2 would easily do 2mill PPV's. Why wouldn't Pac want that rematch at 154 if supposedly he nullified it against Margarito just a tad south of the catch? My point is Cotto is still an elite and now bandwagoned of hate underrated fighter because people have focused on 160 yet don'T follow years before...

Do you even watch boxing? His last match before Wade against David Lemieux was his best use of his jab and defensive skills by far.

Now you are also deflecting, I called you out on Canelo's "reach advantage" he had over Golovkin. There is none.

No it wasn't and I do watch boxing... lol

GGG vs Stevens was his best jab bout. Lemieux? on that bandwagon huh? Just watch the Stevens bout and thank me later. I don't think you know what good stiff jab is...

Says the one stating Canelo has a reach advantage over Golovkin.

Also if you are calling it a "bandwagon" it means you are disagreeing with everyone else. I'm sorry to tell you but that most likely means you are wrong. Your knowledge and rep on here seals that deal.

I could count Canelo landed power punches on one hand.. Hell I dare you to honestly tell me you can remember one that wasn't the counter uppercut(which was beautiful)

I honestly had Cotto winning by a round but a draw or Canelo by one is easy to see.

It's weird, I think Canelo does everything right and is crazy talented but I had him losing Trout, Lara and Cotto. There's a reason Spence is only stepping up at 26 ,while Canelo at 25 is a veteran has taking all the hard fights.

Ummhmm, It's actually kinda typical for Cotto....Fights the best possible Canelo. If that had been the Canelo Floyd fought I honestly think Cotto stops him.

Stopped reading when you said cotto outboxed canelo 9-3.

Yeah I thought Cotto won, but by a round or two at the very, very most. No one won that fight 9-3
