With what we are hearing about the Pac-May fight being close to a done deal. If its signed Canelo should not fight Kirkland on that date.
Should he have waited on the outcome and salvaged his fight with Cotto. They could of had a ppv fight in June.
Cotto loses a lot of his leverage as there is no one else he can fight that will bring in as much money as Canelo. Canelo and Oscar agreed to a lower split in hopes of signing the fight early to undercut Floyd and take his date because they believed he would never fight Pac.
Now if Pac/Floyd gets made Cotto has no other big money options (Roach won't let him near GGG) and team Canelo knows this so they will not give in to many demands. Cotto no longer has the threat of making a rematch with Floyd it appears. I say cut the BS and make the fight Cotto....take your ass whipping like a man.
lets be real, no way Cotto fights Glovokin at 160lbs.
He didn't want to fight the lineal MW champ at 160lbs, he's defintely not gonna fight the more dangerous, bigger, in Glovokin at 160lb.
Glovokin, will more than likely end up coming down to 155-158 or such.
I don't know Sergio... it's a good thing Cotto made you come in light. If he didn't you probably would have needed crutches to get to the ring.
Told you you're always one of the first in a canelo thread lol f4ggot. :haha:
He posted facts and you troll because your female emotions were shattered because someone called your man a pu$$y. That's your pu$$y dammit, defend it at all costs papa.
Just as far as the date was concerned. Canelo was insisting on may 2nd. And, fighting on the same night as pac-may fight is not good business.
Again he wouldn't have done that.
Had Pacquiao/Mayweather been made, Canelo/Cotto would have moved to June. Oscar said this repeatedly.
Not to mention HBO would co-broadcast with Showtime that night. THey wouldn't put Canelo/Cotto on a separate HBO card and hurt itself.
Canelo didn't want to fight in June, and Cotto didn't want to fight at all.
WFT are you talking about?
Canelo/Cotto would have to have fought in June if May/Pac gets made. But if it didn't get made, it's stupid not to want to fight on one of boxings biggest dates.
He can still, and most likely will fight Cotto later this year. But you can't force the guy in the ring, yet you're assuming Cotto is waiting on Floyd-Pac. According to what I know of, that's just NSB speculation? Did Cotto officially say that?
Anyways Canelo Cotto, Canelo Kirkland is the same caliber fight imo. Sh1t, Cotto should fight Kirkland and see how he fairs next.

Why a catchweight, their both middle weight champions
Just being realistic. Cotto is a blown up welterweight so no way he would risk against GGG at full MW. To be fair none of the "A" level welterweights or super welterweight would risk against GGG at 160.
Someone didn't want the fight. Whether it's Cotto or Alvarez, I'm not sure.
Well it wasn't the guy who was practically begging for the fight to happen.
If Floyd vs Manny does get made, it puts Cotto in a difficult situation, too. He will have no really lucrative options other than Canelo. I'm pretty sure both will want the fight then. GBP will pay Kirkland some step aside money and they will have their PPV.
This ^^^^^^
canelo in a rush?
canelo has been patient for over a year and a half.
remember the 10 million dollar offer too cotto for march 2014?
He wants to fight in May. Thats over three months away. That's what I mean by being in a rush. I'm pretty sure once Pac/Floyd is made ad Cotto realizes he can't make the same money vs. Anyone else he would change his stance in some things.
You can't blame Cotto for waiting on Floyd. I'm not sure what Canelo is in such a rush for. If it were closer to March I'd understand. Unfortunately it seems like we are going to get Cotto/Bradley which is a let down to me. Canelo/Kirkland is a fun fight though.

Didnt DLH say they will push Canelos fight back only if May-Pac was made?
