Just saw this.
If Mayweather really does fight on this day, why the hell would Showtime shoot themselves in the foot?
Isn't this bad for GBP too, because if Floyd does fight, it's against a GBP boy
Canelo team already had said that they wanted to face Cotto in Sept., I rather see him against the winner of Lara/Angulo but this is not a bad fight.
Rather Cotto than Vanes
I don't have a problem with this fight if Canelo does decide to fight three times this year...It's a decent tune up.
If he doesn't fight again then smh.
It's a bad fight boxing wise, it would probably just be a passing of the torch (Never rule out the upset though). Business wise it makes sense and builds for a huge showdown and creates a ppv profile for Canelo.
For me though, the same way I don't give a **** about Floyd's pockets I don't care for Canelo's. He should fight the Lara/Angulo winner or Ishe Smith and totally unify. That's why boxing is a business first, sucks for people who love boxing and don't just dick ride a fighter or nationality.
funny thing is how ppl were demanding the floyd fight, but now that his team and gbp has seemed to back off cotto becomes a great fight. lol. i dont get this site. where a young prime fighter gets to fight whoever he wants, even if they have 2 losses in a row and supposedly its a great fight.
Back when Trout wanted to fight Canelo, they were downplaying his win against Cotto saying he was washed up, old, past prime. Now that Canelo wants to fight him it's a great fight, it'll be a war, blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong, it'll make money but we already know Cotto is gonna get KO'd. Badly.
So the plan is to fight the guy who lost to the guy you just beat? Smh this freaking nappy headed ginger has no shame

Or maybe they look at Floyd's history of saying he is going to fight more than once a year but it never happens.
Remember after the Ortiz fight he was saying he wanted to come back in February of 2012 and fight twice before his jail stint and then again at the end of the year? Then he said he was going to fight again after the Cotto fight, gets out and is not heard from until the Guerrero announcement.
If your Golden Boy you make your move now. Sell out Cowboy stadium and give Cotto one more payday and take care of your cash cow for the next 10-12 years.
do u remember when he had a case against him and he had to settle that before he could fight? or remember the fact that if it wasnt for the judge, he would have been in jail a lot sooner? seriously dude, either pay attention to what was going on or shut up. floyd fought at the earliest possible date after the ortiz fight, but apparently even that is criticized.
Canelo is a doing it right business wise here, Cotto has only 3 fights left and we dont know how much he has in the tank left after Trout, Canelo is trying to secure that big money fight while it's still valuable and available, Mexico-PR on mexican independence day will be HUGE. This is a good match considering Scaredweather ain't gonna fight the ginger anyway.
u can never please these canelo critics,He just fought the top dawg
at 154 to unify belts.And all i hear is not impressed fight lara.
And then when he does beats lara,Not impressed fight andrade so on
and so on.
Beating Cotto doesn't make you the top dog. That's like the Donaire fans saying he was the top dog cause he beat Nishioka. Who the hell really thought Nishioka was the top dog? Look at what happened to Donaire when he fought the REAL top dog.
And who can say they were impressed by Canelo?

Funny how the people who we're discrediting Trout's win over Cotto, all of the sudden think this is a good fight. Canelo is too big, too strong, too fast for Cotto. He doesn't stand a chance.
Csnelo looked like **** against trout and they are all about the same level. I don't really get your point. Vanes isn't a bum.
Amen!!!...I don't know why so many dudes think that :dunno:
imho this is a good match up and we could see better how good really is canelo and where cotto is at this point...
imho its worth the gate where ever the fight happens...
