Cotto vs Canelo

[p4pking]

Canelo was throwing as much as he always does against Floyd, he was just used to landing at least some of the time. As much as that was a schooling, I don't think the guy embarrassed himself the way people make out, he did prove to have some skills early on and was doing things that would probably have worked against anyone else. Cotto has the much better feet of course and was able to get to Floyd, but he would need to fight quite differently against Alvarez, where as Canelos tactics in the Floyd fight might actually work out against Miguel. Don't see how comparing their success against Floyd will actually hold much weight in how their fight will go, is basically what I'm saying. It's a good pick em fight.

If you read the previous posts, you'll see I was disagreeing with Master over the performances of both Cotto and Canelo versus Floyd. At no point was I arguing that this has anything to do with the outcome of a fight against each other. Cotto turned in a B+ performance against Floyd. Canelo put in an F performance against Floyd. Cotto-Canelo is a totally different matter (and subject).

Neither of them are in Floyd's class.

But I think stylistically Cotto will win this fight for sure!
