It was supposed to be Cotto-Bundrage in Brooklyn last year and Showtime turned down the fight so Cotto took his talents back to HBO and fought Rodriguez. Now is the perfect time to do the fight as a tune up before Canelo.
Fixed it for you. On topic, this fight is garbage and shouldn't be made it's that simple. Give me a Trout rematch or... sh*t anybody but K9.
Another one that didn't see the logic. But that's ok, I'm going to bring those 2 posts back to you when you're not giving someone the credit that you do Cotto for the same standard. Be prepared.
this is how i feel as well. cotto is a great fighter and he has always fought top notch competition. as his career winds down it would be stupid to waste fights entirely, especially if it means basically killing the momentum from his last fight which taking a fight nobody wants to see kind of does in a way.
No he hasn't.
Cotto fans are all about the old, washed up guys who win titles. There's one that really wants Cotto/Taylor, now another that wants Cotto/Bundrage.
Cotto fans care about Cotto. Only the standards apply to him. Guess what other fan base thinks the same? Floyd's and Pac's fan bases.
Dude is engulfed with hate on Cotto for years since day 1 I joined the forum.
You're confusing hate with reality.
Ask me who did I cheered for when Cotto fought Mayweather, Clottey, and Pacquiao.
The difference between me and you/your Cotto buddies is that I don't get all :love::love::love: over a boxer. I don't view the boxers I like as Supermen, I see them as human that can be exposed/hurt/etc.
Is a fight before Canelo against a guy that just beat Carlos Molina who beat Lara and Kirkland. How is that a cherry pick?
Come on man k-9 is terrible and 41 years old,,,and Cotto is the lineal mw champion

stupidest thing ive heard so far... why do you think Cotto needs a warm up fight before Canelo!>???? This is for everyone reading thid not just you... Canelo straight up sucks. he has no footwork, he cant cut the ring off as good, and his flatfooted!! and the only way he can even come close to winning a fight its to fight people like Angulo that will stay in front of him all day.. Canelo cant box for ****. Cotto beats him easy!!! People may say Canelo its Dangerous because he has power and can hit but to be able to hit someone you need a target, something thats not constantly moving lol Cotto can easily take Canelo to boxing School for a third time!.. i say third time because Floyd took his ass to Boxing 101, Lara took Canelo to boxing 102 and his about to learn his lesson from boxing 103 and his still not going to learn anything lol... a fight its not won by running, its won by boxing which is hit and dont get hit and if you have to use the whole ring to accomplish that then call it running all you want but thats boxing.. theirs different type of fighters.. you have true technical boxers, example like Lara and champ Mayweather, then you have those that are more around 70% technical and 30% brawler like Cotto... then you have fighters like manny and marquez that are counter boxers and brawlers at the same time and can get somewhat technical from time to time..and then you have just brawlers that just want to fight toe to toe with a punching bag for 12 rounds like Canelo..

i wouldnt expect for cotto to call out on the laras and andrades at this point on his career, he is trying to cash out , but taylor or k9 bring too little to the table...
Damn bro - the hate is seeping through this post hard core...
You leave out Pac, May and Margarito as part of his last 10.
Jennings - Tune up after getting beat
Clottey - Champ/Former champ - Was stripped due to unification
Foreman - Champ
Mayorga - Former Champ
Trout - Champ
Rodriguez - Tune up
Martinez - Lineal Champ
Pac - Champ/ATG
Margarito - Former Champ
Mayweather - Champ/ATG
You stay mad at Cotto for not fight Paul Williams - that's all you got on him

STFU.
This fight is crap and Cotto does not needs him.
Fight does absolutely nothing for Cotto aside from keeping him busy. No thanks. I can't hate on K-9 cause he's doing what he's supposed to do but i'm tired of seeing him fight. Can't believe i'm saying that about a fighter.

If Cotto-Canelo can be made by June, there is ZERO chance of either fighter risking a loss or injury before then. Believe that.
Which I think is partially a reason why they scrapped the Canelo vs Clottey fight.
He should just sit and wait for the Canelo fight. Cotto ain't gonna get up for a K-9 fight with a huge payday looking his way in May. Cotto's done fighting filler fights. I think it's big money fights, then retirement.
Both Cotto and Canelo are gonna be 10-11 months out the ring so there won't be CRAZY rust really.

lmao perfect cherry pick or what?
I thing both fighters should take showcase match before their showdown if it is actually going to happen.
It will be a very long time in between fights so such an important match
