Alvarez avoided Cotto's jabs pretty well by using upper body movement. I think jabs are not problem for Canelo. I am afraid that fight to be same as GGG-Ouma. During exchanges GGG gets hit too much. We saw it against Jacobs and Ouma. GGG must move like against Lemieux.
Canelo has a better chance to beat Golovkin if he fights at close range throwing his combos. GGG's jab and power shots are most effective at a mid-range distance. Canelo has to make a phone-booth fight to clearly win.
Canelo is not an inside fighter. He needs space to throw his counters and combos. Look at the kirkland fight. When kirkland came in close he was lost and only threw when he created space. He's a mid range fighter not an inside fighter.

Cotto is not a jabber and jabs nothing like ggg. Even jacobs was getting lit up by the jab. You're not escaping ggg's jab. Canelo fights nothing like ouma. He hates getting hit and stays mid range to counter. He's not an inside fighter.
I'm picking Golovkin to win. But stylistically though this isn't Hagler Hearns. Its more like Mugabi vs Hagler. Golovkin is much better than Mugabi and Canelo sure as hell isnt as good as Marvin. Golovkin by KO.
