thats the biggest knock against canelo against his best opponents..he either takes the L (floyd) or he does just enough to win (cotto, trout, lara)...but he doesn't turn it up to another notch make the win more dominant...this fight was a bytch to score though...but in no way did that nikka win on no 119-109 type shyt..thats judging fukkery

Agreed.

Canelo is that dude, but it seems like he can't dominate anybody that's on his level. He'll perform just good enough to edge them out. He doesn't have that 2nd gear where he steps it up and takes over.

I want to see Canelo Chino.....I had no doubt in my mind Chino would mop the floor with both

I'm reading some people had Cotto winning...

WTF was yall watching?:what:

Nobody at the crib had Cotton winning...I had it 8-4 and the 4 rounds I gave Cotton were extremely close...None of the 8 rounds I gave Canelo were debatable...

Canelo outclassed this cherry picking Diva and it wasn't even close...Defensively Canelo was damn near flawless boxing from the outside, protecting his body from the left hook and slipping punches with outstanding head movement...I don't think Cotton landed a single left hook to the body in the first 6 rounds...The only offense Cotton was able to land with any sort of consistency was the jab and half the time he did he got countered with an overhand right...Canelo's size, combination punching and speed were a clear problem for Cotton...It seemed like every time he tried to mount some offense he got caught with an uppercut or overhand right...

5 thudding power punches >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 10 jabs

The Truth
Oh, and Floyd is not coming out of retirement to fight Canelo again just based off this fight.

If Canelo beats GGG and maybe even beats Cotto again (if a rematch happens) then I can see Floyd coming back for a rematch. Canelos stardom would be huge by then.

If GGG beats Canelo Floyd might come out of retirement for a 154/155 catchweight.

And I have no idea how people counted Canelo out over Cotto. I like both fighters actually, and think it was a good/tough fight for both, but if you ever watched Canelo you would know that he had just about every advantage except footwork.

Cotto's footwork is what made this fight even as close as it was. Whenever Cotto was flat footed or stationary, Canelo lit his ass up.

But Canelo sucks at moving his feet. It's how Floyd masterfully picked him apart and how Lara's running ass almost beat him (if anything)

That's not a bad fight actually. We know Chino will prolly never make 147 again if he ever does decide to come back.

I think Canelo gives him the business in a good fight though.
