Why couldn't Canelo KO Cotto?

[Lester Tutor]

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.

Pac fanatics swore Pac was going to beat Floyd.... Bad.

Asks one question just to make his :*******: that much better, Beer never fails.

Cotto was moving, defensive and although he was connected cleanly a few times, he also has a decent chin. Cotto breaks under pressure and accumulation, something Canelo does very little of. Saul is a counter puncher and Cotto is a boxer puncher, styles make fights and sadly neither fighter had the style advantage.

GGG would definetly break Cotto down but that's because of styles. Golovkin has the power, walks his opponents down and runs them over with his pressure and can cut off the ring efficiently, these factors are stuff of nightmares for a fighter like Cotto.

Canelo may have slow feet but he has great upper body movement, fast hands and enough power to keep his opponents respectful whenever they try to stand in front of him and go toe to toe. Canelo has a slight style advantage over Golovkin but it's a close fight regardless. Canelo's slickness is underrated and his counter punching is on point, I'm sure he would pose many threats to a fighter like Golovkin whom has limited inside fighting, average hand speed and stops his offense as soon as his opponent throws more than one punch. Say what you like but GGG isn't much of a counter puncher lol, he lets his opponents get their offense off without making them pay... Unless they punch at the same time and he lands first. The main X factor in my opinion would be Saul's chin, if he can withstand GGG's power, I can see him taking the fight on points. If it cracks it's over

Golovkin is going to destroy your Canelo.

It's going to be bad

I gave Floyd his props, ask Larry Dunn or PBP.


This is different. Golovkin is going to hurt Canelo.

It's weird, a year ago the Mexican Canelo fans were like "yeah! Golovkin is awesome! He fights a crowd pleasing aggressive style!"


Then when he is supposed to fight Canelo he is hated they know what it is.

Alvarez is not ''supposed'' to fight Lil'G. Criticism is only applied when the mando is violated, not the priviledged voluntary. 15 days after Khan. Criticize then. And enjoy Loeffler's statement for 2018!

I'm not a massive Canelo fan, I'm as big of a Canelo fan as I am a Golovkin fan. Fanboys such as yourself and many others on both sides intrigue me, such energy wasted on men you seem to have a genuine dislike for.

If GGG wins, so be it. If Canelo wins, that's good too. I could careless, these little fanboy wars is what bothers me most. You diminish the name of a fighter you dislike in order to achieve what exactly? Say the Canelo vs GGG fight happens, are you saying the win wouldn't be significant for Golovkin, his resume and career since Ginger sucks in your eyes? Exactly... Think about it.

i may be an Estrada fanboy but I would never diminish Roman's accomplishments nor would I cushion Estrada's.

Keep doing your thing though. Fast hands, slow feet and decent defense doe. Much insight, you don't say?

So what?!


Gennady will walk right through him.

Oh...so that's where you're going with it? Good luck.

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

I can only recall two times over the 12 rounds that Cotto stood and was willing to trade. For the most part he was all lateral movement, jabs and the occasional straight right or hook.

Canelo put a beating on him in round 12 and hurt him bad, and still looked fresh. I don't think the weight is an issue.

I think Canelo would take that fight at 157, but I believe he'll be at 160 within 18 months.

I believe Camelot has more power than Marquez. Manny's spinal column nearly popped out of his back with that colossal shot Marquez delivered.... Wow!!

I believe Cotto was weight drained when he fought PAC. am I wrong?

I might be wrong.
