Canelo vs Cotto

[OutlawImmortal]

Almost a done deal for 2015. Who do you guys think will win? I personally think Canelo is better and will win on the cards but I imagine this fight going the distance and being a great one to watch.

Cotto won't be facing a broken down Sergio Martinez this time. It'll be a great measuring stick for both fighters.

Cotto I think will win

Cotto by decision

Cotto definitely has the advantage in the corner and gameplan, but I think Canelo will take it by decision based on raw talent and boxing ability. I think he will get in and out tactfully and land enough combos to win the rounds necessary.

I don't think this fight is cut and dry but that's a testament to Canelo's willingness to fight the best possible contenders. Not ducking anyone.

I think Cotto wins. He is the smarter fighter. Although if Canelo can hurt Cotto, that can change the whole thing. I don't think Cotto can hurt Canelo, so Canelo will be coming.

This is gonna be an actual good match up for once in boxing.

Cinco De Mayo it should happen?

Cinco De Mayo it should happen?

Cinco De Mayo weekend probably. Would be a great Mexican-style fight with both fighters who like to move forward. Canelo has been complaining about the defensive type of fighters he's been facing, he'll get his wish when he faces Cotto.

It could happen in June also.

Cotto loves to fight here in NYC during the weekend of the Puerto Rican Day Parade

True, but I was under the impression that Canelo left Showtime so he could fight on Cinco de Mayo, a date Mayweather refused to let him fight on. Mayweather knows there is a lot of money in boxing that comes from Latinos, which is why he puts on his whole "Mexican sombrebero" farce. I think we all know which fight would do better in sales between Canelo vs Cotto and Mayweather vs Khan.
