Comments Thread For: Roach: Good Chance Cotto Will Knock Canelo Out

[GOD-FR33]

True but.....

Cotto is the better fighter and better iq canelo power hasn't been proven against top opposition cotto has canelo stamina in 3 rounds against Kirkland looked suspect he was already tired canelo can't stop a jab or cut off the ring cotto will cruise to a decision unless canelo stamina is really bad then cotto can go for the kill

Cotto is the better fighter BUT size negates skill. Have you heard of that? That cannot be ignored and is a FACT. Canelo is stronger and has a better chin. Cotto will put up a great fight but at the end of the day, he is getting stopped more than likely. There are weight classes for a reason. Cotto is stuck between a rock in a hard place as far as weight is concerned. He's come back well but there are still questions to be answered about the opposition he's fought. Canelo is an entirely different animal. You talk about Canelo's stamina? Really? When was the last time he gassed? His stamina has evolved with his experience. And you would be tired after 4 rounds in a war against Kirkland as well. No shame in that. He trains to fight 12 hard rounds.

Size Negates Skill. I totally agree with you. Floyd's size negated Manny's Skill. But Floyd has even better skill than Manny.

F Floyd.

Sure it did, buddy. That's why Floyd ran so much? Held for dear life? Forearmed to the face? Pushed off with an open glove which can cause cuts? In no way shape or form did Floyd even try to use his obvious size advantage. WHY????? Because he is a coward who has no killer instinct. He also knows that trying to walk Manny down would've resulted in him getting his chin checked. He already got out landed over 12 rounds. Could you imagine how exciting the fight could've been if he wasn't scared to engage Manny???? He would've become a hero instead of what he truly is. A COWARD!

Cotto and Manny are my favorite fighters. Add Ward in there as well. Cotto is going to find out in the very first round, that Canelo isn't OLD, isn't SLOW, and has a great defense and ring IQ. He has POWER and is going to fire back when hit. Canelo is primed and ready for this moment now. He will break Cotto down and STOP him. He is too fast, too big, and too strong for Cotto. His run ends in November.

You're over here giving Canelo all these props... while you're in the other thread screaming about how Chico Corrales is Floyd's most significant career win.

Which side of the fence you on, HATER-FR33??

I think Dwyer may have this one right, he thinks Cotto will be too sharp for Canelo and 'get under' Canelo's punches. Canelo needs to touch you to land cleanly where as Cotto's timing is so that he can land whenever.

It's a great fight though.

Cotto doesn't have Golovkin Power.


Canelo has a great chin, and Canelo has more power than Cotto

great chin? wat power puncher has he faced of cotto's power?? u'd be hard pressed to find a guy on canelo's resume who was coming off 2 or more ko wins...hell u'd be hard pressed to find a guy coming off one ko win..i agree he's fought some good fighters..but lara just went 12 with a guy cotto put out in 5..lara no power punchers at this level

[tiliheels]

Canelo hasn't dropped a top fighter so how does he have more power then cotto when cotto is dropping guys bigger then him and the stamina of canelo is suspect and canelo got rocked by a smaller cotto when he was young so he can be hurt and cotto will hurt him

i agree fully and cotto is by far the strongest puncher canelo ever faced...canelo fought a good resume but most are slick boxers..not slick boxer punchers like cotto..i see canelo get hurt this fight and stopped..his size means nothing bc he doesnt have timing or footspeed..nor does he have the stamina to apply the pressure needed to break cotto

SMH

Still spewing hater bullCHIT!

You try to discredit Floyd's effective boxing ability by calling him a "runner". Calling Floyd a runner is a very shallow minded viewpoint to have. That tells me you're not intellectually able to recognize the more advanced skill levels of the sport of boxing.

I know that sounds insulting but if you seriously watched Floyd fight Manny, and all you got out of it is that "FLoyd ran", then I do question your ability to correctly process what you see. That or you need glasses.

Floyd stood right in front of Manny for majority of the night. Of course he circles the ring. That's called SMART BOXING, not running. Your ignorance in this regard is beyond frustrating to read.

Floyd used elite defense to evade Manny's punches. He didn't "run away" from Manny's punches. When Floyd did use his legs, it was momentary to create "new looks".

But like I said, you seem limited so I don't expect you to understand Floyd's style. It's called the MAYVINCI CODE for a reason...

Stick to Tim Bradley and Jesse Vargas level fighters...

good to see another dwyer listener...who else do you keep up with on the tube?
