After last night. Cotto vs Alvarez anyone.

[Hulk]

This is a no brainer to me. Cotto takes him, Canelo is a kid who hasn't fought anyone in the top 10 yet never mind beating the top fighter in the division. Shot Mosley, Shot Cintron, Gomez, Rhodes and 'Magic' Matthew Hatton These are his last five fights, all whilst he was champion or became champion. Those names don't compare to Cotto nevermind thinking of him as a stepping stone towards Floyd or Pacman. The kid will be the top fighter in boxing one day but that day is not until more than a few years time.

Yes and Matthew Hatton and a shot Mosley went the distance with him.

For all the devastating power puncher propaganda HBO gives us about red headed fuck, he is not a KO puncher.

He's a hard puncher sure, and he looked good, but what was coming back at him ?

Patty cake.

With Cotto it would be another story, also I doubt Cotto would tire as he did last night since Alvarez fights at a very measured pace, a bit like he's sparring sometimes.

I dont think mosley looked shot at all. He was throwing punches all the way through the fight and was being hit left, right and center but still managed to get to the end and look reasonably fresh. His opponenent before Alvarez was Pac and unlike Cotto got to the end of the fight.
The danger I see for Cotto in this fight would be Alvarez waring him down like Margarito did with punches. I think Cotto probably has better technique and definately better defence.
Who has the power, I would probably say alvarez. They both have good speed.
I would say over all a good close fight. Possibly leading towards Cotto but would not be suprised either way.
Overall much more competitive than Cotto Floyd.

I thought Mosley was shot and this fight would be a slaughter. Although Canelo won it handily, Shane Mosley showed up to fight. I'll eat crow once again. Happens a lot these days.

Canelo looked good. He's got great offense. He puts together great combinations. He's got some beast in him. I like the upside. He'll be kept away from movers for a while, and given his age etc., it's fair.

[El Kabong]

I've never seen Mosley blasted with so many uppercuts...the punches didn't seem to hurt him terribly but you did see his head snapped back a lot more than usual. I think Canelo needs to bust up some younger guys: Kirkland, Vanes, Trout, Lara.



Also any of you guys that said Cotto was going to get demolished better own up and admit you were wrong.

I did it in another thread, but I'll do it here too. I was wrong. I thought Cotto was going to be outclassed and would be stopped in the middle-end rounds, which clearly wasn't the case.

I must say after the first 2 rounds I was having my doubts, but in round 3 I knew we had ourselves a battle! And I will admit for the first time being really impressed with the way Floyd handled himself, he took some serious body shots, got his nose busted up, and he was in a real FIGHT and he fought like a champion. And better yet after the fight both Cotto & Mayweather showed great respect to one another, that's great for the sport after having seen Haye & Chisora act like fools.

Well he was outclassed.

[El Kabong]

Well he was outclassed.

I'm not certain you can go that far....now Shane Mosley WAS outclassed vs Floyd because Shane stopped fighting back. Cotto did better than everyone except maybe De la Hoya vs Floyd.

Exactly. There is no way he is ready for the likes of Cotto, Mayweather and Pacquiao.

[Ant Live]

Canelo beats anyone at 154. MONEYGRAM!!! Mayweather(and I'm a big fan of PBF boxing skills), Cotto, Pacman and Martinez. All by KO.

Cotto next fight should be Alvarez for that is worth a PPV buy. Not Kirkland!!! But if Cotto dont fight Alvarez here a few other good fights for Cotto . . .
Molina
Lara
K-9(trained by Manny Steward and have a title)
