This fight was have been A LOT easier for Canelo if he knew how to cut the ring off better. Still did enough to win though. :sas1:

If Lara/Molina gets made I'm throwing half of my coli cash on Molina.

I noticed his inability to cut the ring off as well. Against a boxer like Miguel Cotto, Canelo will get exposed

Cotto ain't no great Boxer that Canelo would have trouble cutting the ring off against

His jab is great...his movement not so much...N if the nikka moves around too much he's gonna get gassed N then the fun starts:demonic:
Exactly...

Cotto can't avoid Canelo for 12 rounds...

Last time Cotto tried to box a big puncher he gassed out in the middle rounds, caught a beating and took a knee...

This fight will be a rerun of Cotto/Margarito...

While I agree that Arum did very little to promote Rigo (mostly cause Bob was butthurt that Rigo derailed the Donaire Express), Rigo is not an easy fighter to promote. He doesn't have a built in fanbase, he has zero personality and 90% of the time he fights in a style that is not very entertaining.
I would be pleasantly surprised to see Rigo promoted to superstardom but sadly I don't see it happening even if he signs with Haymon and GBP.

His movement? wtf? Did you not watch the Margarito II fight? Cotto can definitely box and move if he needs too. Cotto's conditioning has never been a question either, so I think he can go 12 rounds like that. But like other dude said he may not need to move that much. I think Cotto would box the shyt outta Canelo

Did the same thing in Margarito 2 fight and he didn't gas, breh. But if the two fight we shall see who wins.

I don't think that would do it either. The only way I see Rigo blowing up is for him to completely throw out his usual fighting style to become more inclined to brawl and that would be stupid because his boxing skills are brilliant.

I think that the class he's at just isn't going to help him. He needs to move up in weight. Like someone else said, the better the competition, the more exciting his fights will be, or at least the more marketable he will become.

He could turn heel and start acting like mayorga tho.
