    COtto best day were at 140-147. He's small for these big guys at 154 like Charlo, jrock, Andrade. We already saw what happened vs Trout. He's too old to make 147 now so e will find someone to move up for another fight. He's a good fighter no doubt but I don't give him much chance against the youngs guys at 154.

      He was never good above 147 and overrated below it. He was never the man in any division that he fought in, known more for his valiant effort in losses than any win. He fought everybody and conversely loss to everybody.One of the most one armed fighters in history.

        He wasn't awful but he was done at the elite level and smaller than Canelo

          Cotto is clearly not the same fighter he was when he fought Margarito the first time.

          Dude is sooo much slower, has so many ring miles on him.
          What Has Canelo,to form that Cotto have now phisical and Motorical,dude is in Great form in his last 3 fights

            I dont know how he did it, which PEDs he took, etc but Cottos stamina was better than ever in the Canelo fight,

            he spend more time on his bycicle than ever before

            far different from the old Cotto who would be gassed after 7 or rounds

            props to Canelo for still beating this rejuvenated, tireless version of Cotto

              Yeah, it was a good win, many people thought it was all over after Trout, still, elite fighters, or the say it better, "the faces of boxing", Floyd and Manny, both beat a better version of Cotto in an easier way.
              Canelo is good, he just isn't all that the people thinks.

                he hasn't beaten anyone worth a damn(that wasn't crippled) above 147 and he left 147 7 years ago.

                    Credit to Cotto for being on his toes in the 12th after taking body shots all the fight.
