I've always given Cotto a very good chance and I still do. Always found it weird how some of the biggest Cotto fans on here didn't like his chances against Canelo. I still favor Canelo but Cotto is more than capable. I'd expect him to use the same game plan he used against Margarito in the rematch, this time he'd have to be a little more sharper.

both guys have been putting in quick work vs their opposition...we know Canelo has gassed out in the past...
i would lean towards Canelo but if he's huffing and puffing after 8 rounds and Cotto isn't, then he might be able to take a points win

Cotto has a speed advantage against slow (but bigger) and injured middleweights. He won't have any of those advantages against Canelo.
Cotto's left hook will be the only punch for Canelo to fear. Cotto still has no head movement. Canelo will turn his small rican brain into mush.

Would be a good fight. Favor Canelo.
This fight sells itself without the belt so ideally Cotto should drop the belt or the WBC should enforce their own rules (yeah right) so the MW crown can be fought for between guys who actually fight at 160.

Stage is set for a huge fight.
Cotto the Puerto Rican Veteran, big money draw, coming off 2 impressive, knockouts.
Canelo the rising Mexican superstar, young and talented, also coming off an impressive KO and also a big draw.
Awesome, I can't wait.

People too quick to drink the Canelo Kool aid because he beat Kirkland. Cotto is more disciplined and an alot better boxer. I think it's a 50/50 fight. Whoever wants it more and has more in the tank towards the end of this fight which means Cotto needs to work the body from round 1. Cotto should box a bit but he should also put some pressure on Canelo in spurts.
