I'm glad there are still knowledgeable fight fans and not hurt fan boys left in here.
If Canelo had Marg's mindset, he would have stopped Cotto. He gave him way too much respect IMO and made it a boxing match at mid range.
I found it strange that canelo didnt want to take cotto out pretty early.. With all due respect to cotto.. Canelo seemed to test his boxing skills and stamina in this fight. Even seen him doing some leg shifts.. Crazy. Even eddie got mad at canelo for not taking it serious and cant play with a known hitter and killer in cotto
Canelo could beat ggg..
But still people will find and say that canelo waited too long or he outweighed ggg on fight night and or that he drained ggg....
And the canelo really a light heavyweight excuse..
You gotta accept that the haters will make canelo a hof in its time just as floyd haters made him a hof
Neither of them weighed in on the night so I don't know where that 175 rumour came from.
Canelo didn't beat Cotto with size, he beat him with skill.
Exactly.. Geale was bigger then canelo but he got knocked out..
I really don't think this is an improved Cotto. It's the same ol Cotto. Canelo won this fight cause he's just physically bigger and stronger. Cotto couldn't handle the physical strength of Canelo and Canelo looked to be at least 15 pounds bigger.
Is it true that Canelo was 175 pounds in the ring?
175?
Geale weighed in around over 180 vs cotto and he mopped the floor with him and so did ggg... Your point?
It could have been the size of a damn olympic swimming pool wouldn't have made 1 bit of difference just more space for Monroe to roll around in.
Oh but for lara it did vs angulo right lol even laras team complained about the ring size.. All im saying he didnt have room to box.. Funny how hbo made claims that the ring was huge ***128514;***128514;
Is this whoever that was that claimed Murray would have won if the ring was bigger? :lol1:
You don't need alts. It's the Internet, no one's going to shame you in real life for using your real account.
Not same person but why not fight in a standard ring? Scared ggg might get out boxed and pop shotted..
Yeah I hate that about boxing but it cannot be any other way because they are free agents so off course they are going to exercise their PPV power , their ratings , their fan base , anyway that one can be more powerful at the negotiating table they will push that angle , he is the A side the other guy is the B side , the fans can argue all they want who they think that is , the only way to know is to sit in on the negotiation where the layers not fanboys lay it on the table .
To be honest when the A and B crap starts I dont really care who is saying what so long as the fight is made , when we lose the fight because of it I think somebody is not being reasonable , nothing wrong with GGG saying ok we go at 157 , if either of them knocked back 157 they dont want the fight .
Lil g said not even 158.... Just goes to show u who really isnt trying to make the fight
This is why canelo deserves respect.
High risk low reward and looked bad fighting that style but still managed to get the win...
Next ggg will be ko in 7.
SHHHHHH... marquez is too old and wouldn't have a chance against a bigger stronger young buck with boxing ability and power like keith thurman!! i think marquez would admit that!
I strongly disagree Marquez gives Keith a boxing lesson and a swollen eye...
Don't get me wrong Marquez will probably get knocked down twice but will still stop Thurman.... Alvarado is a big strong guy... Pacman is way better then Thurman.
I'm going to say floyd and canelo would be called cherry pickers taking advantage of a man with injuries and be called paper middleweight champions
But cotto they acting like he beat a prime Sergio and acting like he would clean out the middle weight division including 154 when he got outclassed by floyd and Austin trout I repeat austin trout at the garden
No mayweather should
Still be able
To fight September for super welterweight title vs ishe
Smith and cinco de mayo maidana rematch both ppvs crack a million each
There gonna make it look like lara got robbed saying he didn't get a full 10 count
I see lara gettin knocked out and stopped like abner mares with Johnny
It's ok lara fans making excuses and the fight hasn't even happen.
What lara can't knock out canelo only cruise by a 12 round ud???
If It hasn't happen don't complain
1. Money
2. Pac

4. Wlad
5. Bhop
6. Froch
7. Cotto
8. JMM
9. Bradley
10. Rigondeax
So Alvarez has to beat cotto then jumps on your list or does cotto stay even though he lost to Floyd n trout and beat a crippled Martinez
Cottos last four fights vs canelos last four fights
Other then that your list is pretty good no garcias or gggs
But since then, harder punches have failed to do that.
He'll probably get hurt and hurt often against Canelo, but he'll keep throwing.
I wonder who they'll set up next for him... Kirkland will probably price himself out again
50 cent his promoter? I'm sure he will work with oscar to remain relevant in boxing...
Idk who they will set up but canelo isn't getting any breaks... Danny Garcia took 2 and broner taking 2.
Pure boxing is controlling distance, utilizing movement, picking your shots, keeping the fight on the outside and using footwork to create space. Lara did that.
He fought at his pace, sat down on his punches and consistently landed hard 1-2 and sometimes 3 punch combos.
You may not like his style of fighting but to discredit his boxing abilities is ridiculous.
Your talking about Olympic boxing
