Why couldn't Canelo KO Cotto?

[SUBZER0ED]

Cotto was able to take everything Canelo threw.


How will he keep Gennady off him?

He won't; that's why he won't fight him @ 160.

Once again, so what?

So what?!


Gennady will walk right through him.

Cotto also spent the entire fight moving.

I don't agree, Cotto was right infront of him for most of the fight

I truly believe Canelo is having problems making 155, which takes a toll on his body in the later rounds. The only reason he fights at 155 is to avoid Triple G. I think a comfortable weight for him is 157-158, but i could see Triple G willing to come down for that and still be strong, which is something Nelo doesnt want.

If Khan and Hunter have planned, they will attack Canelo's body. Left hook to the liver i.e Madiana, Collazo

He hurt cotto pretty bad in 12th with a body shot

Cotto was way more defensive and used his feet than against may weather or Pac

He actually attempted to pressure those guys

Plus those slow feet of Canelo hurt his ability to track a guy down

No. Canelo is a bigger stronger guy than past prime war torn Cotto.


Why couldn't he stop him? Young "strong" but can't finish a hurt guy.

Move a bit and Canelo is lost

Not only did he not stop him, he barely looked like he hurt him. That was the biggest surprise for me watching that fight. Cotto took the same kind of shots Pac was obliterating him with and didn't budge against Alvarez.

Cotto has a decent chin & moves well. Canelo is a decent puncher, who needs to land an accumulation of good shots to hurt an opponent. He never landed combos to the head on Cotto. Rather, he mixed it up to the body & head to keep Miguel off-balance and keep his momentum in check.

I said it years ago, I don't think Canelo has this power his fans like to believe.


Fast hands, slow feet, decent defense.


Gennady is going to hurt him. Bad.

The only reason he fights at 155 is to avoid Triple G.

lol. ''fights'' as in plural? this is Nelo's 2nd title bout at 155. Fighting Cotto has what to do with ''avoiding'' Lil'G? Alvarez wasn't even a Middleweight until he won the Lineal. Khan needs a 155 catch as well. The first voluntary defense is entitled to the new champ. Criticize a mandatory defense if it doesn'T happen and how Loeffler reacts and makes a statement about it. You make it sound like Alvarez has held 160 hostage for 2 years...
