Comments Thread For: Cotto: Canelo Will Be Next, Golovkin Maybe in 2016

Canelo next.

[Mr. Philadel]

Canelo is going to realize soon, that the little things Cotto brings to the table are going be the difference. The haters will say shyt like, "Canelo was too young..." "Canelo lacked a little more experience..." In the end, Cotto gets the win and we shut Tianuana down for months.


It bees that way.

this forum would be a graveyard without posters like you!!...never change your style Crusher

Based on your post you can include yourself with the very same people you are degrading. While there are a few here who are insane Cotto fans, the majority who post positive things about him are accurate in they're assessments. You easily reveal your lack of knowledge in boxing like many people on this site because the "skill" of boxing, and how to recognize it eludes you. Anyone who has the eyes for it can see subtle but glaring changes that have them excited about Cotto's resurgence. Cotto's timely movement, footwork, shoulder defense, using angles,turning opponent, positioning opponent, turning over his punches, keeping his eyes on his opponent, controlling of distance. These are things that have all improved for Cotto.

Will it translate to a victory over Canelo? I say yes, Cotto is the more skilled fighter even before he linked up with Roach, while Canelo's advantages are simply age. Canelo is not a pressure fighter, he doesnt move forward, he doesnt cut the ring, he is flat and slow footed, when he throws his combos they are fast but he stands straight up and he doesnt move after, which will leave him open to whatever Cotto throws back. Cotto pretty much just knocked out a cruiserweight, so if you think he cant hurt Canelo you are sadly mistaken.

Will Cotto defeat GGG? My answer is no, however it would not surprise me if Cotto won. In the end most likely GGG is to big and will eventually overpower Cotto. Like in the Canelo fight, Cotto is the more skilled fighter, he definitely has the best chance to defeat GGG compared to GGG's previous competition, but the two advantages GGG has (size, and punching power) usually results in a loss for the opponent.

Anyone who completely dismisses Cotto as a threat, obviously bias, hating, lacks knowledge, fill in whatever...... If you just dont like Cotto admit it and move on.

Very objective, big ups!

The majority of GGG's fans are making the guy look bad, they are so anxious for their guy to become a super star that they have become so delusional. Saying GGG is more popular then Cotto, is so laughable (the #s don't lie), we are talking about a future HOF, 3rd highest PPV $ maker the last decade, who sells out arenas not ballrooms. As far as business goes Cotto is smart and while he is not afraid of anyone, he as well as all of us know his weight is at 154 JrMW, so Canelo is next and the Floyd Rematch will be discussed, as their Fair well tour, swan song fight; however he'll fight GGG if he can't get Floyd.
As mentioned earlier GGG should just start testing himself at SMW not MW (besides Cotto there is only Andy Lee) go fight SMW...Andre Ward, Carl Froch, Arthur Abraham , Badou Jack for the WBC belt, Fedor Chudinov WBA belt.
Cotto is not fighting for belts but for history, he has accomplish almost all his goals, and GGG is really not one of them.

[Cuban Linx]

He'll crush Canelo and then hopefully he'll fight GGG next.

i'll say this..one beat the linal mw king that everyone said he would be killed by..he basically took him out in a round..cant blame the knee..he was mvoing very well that rounjd and got decked just like geal

Just stop Martinez was damaged goods. If you can't even agree on this obvious point then you are just delusional. He tried to wear a knee brace before rhe fight and could barely move he looked nothing like Martinez in his prime before the knee injury. His blazing speed and agility were gone. He was a standing duck shot fighter. Last legit fighter he faced was trout who embarrassed him.

[bigdunny1]

He has a different trainer than with Trout and really, if Canelo is better since Floyd why can't Cotto be after Trout and with a new trainer?

Age has something to do with that. One fighter is in his early 20s the other is pushing 40. Fighters progress and get better at canelos age not so much at cottos. Plus his so called progression has come since the quality of his opponents has fallen off a cliff. Last quality fighter was trout. Since then he has faced 2 bums and a cripple.

[mezoomozaa]

I'm rooting for Saul in this.

So why did Hopkins get better as he got older? Try again.

[-PBP-]

Lol. He's not fighting GGG. Let it go.

But I do agree he should vacate

[bojangles1987]

Cotto/Alvarez is going to be great.
