    I fail to see how saying he beats young Mosley, Cotto or Nigel Benn overrates him. Not like I said he'd beat Hagler, Hearns Leonard or Duran now is it. And he'd KO young Cotto because the younger version wasn't as motivated to survive as the older version is.

    Younger cotto was the same he is now. In fact, he is now, what younger cotto was, which is why the success. Cotto use to love fighting going backwards. In fact, he use to practice it. He was never fragile and would never be knocked out by Canelo. Unless you have bricks in your hands or Juice in your veins mixed with lightning speed, you arent knocking him out.

    Benn-Vargas-Canelo may be one of those triangles (or circles). Canelo more likely to survive Benn's early storm and then take him into deep waters and drown him than Vargas is...but Vargas' boxing ability and strength may allow him to decision Canelo.

    Perhaps. I can concede this point. Cotto showed that against Mosley, certainly.

    Promotional problems.

    Shame. He had one of the top 5 offenses in the sport before he went inactive.
