If I remember right as a kid cotto was really fat and bullied.deep down he is still a fatty and getting tattoos and shaving his head helps him forget and it works well for him until he fights a confident fighter that makes him get on his bike and he goes back to being the fat little kid again
Am not accusing them of falsifying his resume, am more shocked that I didn’t know about this. I knew he fought from a very young age. But I never knew he had so many fights that are uncounted for. This one in this thread isn’t even on Boxrec. But like others said it might be an unsanctioned fight or due to the fact that he isn’t even 18 years old yet. He looks well composed though even at that age.
His trainer chepo spoke about the 10 fights they didn't count on his record in an interview a few years ago I think it was in an esnews video
Wow!!! Where have i been? I have never heard this before. And its believable as well. I doubt that it at all.
Most likely a mistake something like that would have fighters in Mexico coming out left and right saying I beat canelo not to mention the Mexican media they would always be bringing it up writing stories mentioning it before all of his fights when they announce his record
Inactivity isn't the problem just like berto they were too protected and it stunted their growth they had no problem calling out the top fighters crying about being ducked but never tried fighting the guys in the middle and it ruined their developmental stage
This could be true if his wife is now running his career she's been with him his whole career and noticed all the damage he took in the canelo fights compared to the rest he's made enough money in his career and probably cares about him unlike his fans who seem to want him to end up like magomed canelo is not likely to use winning orthopedic gloves for a 3rd fight
Abel sanchez and the rest of team ggg were hit by the Canelo curse.all his fighters lost and failed drug tests ggg lost his precious belts and tv network and is probably leaving his promoter they talked so much and couldn't back it up watched canelo get the biggest sports deal
Not the same situation Keith let everyone know he won't fight Spence in 2018 and 19 canelo made ggg multiple offers to fight and refused to negotiate on weight then when canelo agreed to ggg preferred weight ggg refused the fight over money.ggg could of got the fight sooner but he and his team got greedy
Not entirely true, ggg refused to put his titles on the line for a catchweight fight, canelo didn’t wanna fight without the titles.... both were too blame for the fight not happening
Canelo had dropped the weight demand and the belt and was still in negotiations.ggg was trying to use the belts as leverage for a 50-50 split it was canelo that told him he could keep his belts and would fight him without them on the linel.the wbc made a stupid mistake putting a 15 day deadline on negotiations and backing ggg on the crazy financial demands.all the pressure from fans and media was on canelo and GBP to make the fight but none was put on ggg and his promoter to make concessions like canelo and every other fighter did before him the same situation is going on right now with aj and wilder the fans and media are trying to make the guy that took all the risk and alone brings in all the money give a undeserving unknown protected fighter a crazy split
Do you have a bit more detail on these multiple offers? Ain't quite how I recall things going down. Way I remember it Canelo dropped his belt, giving the reason that he wasn't going to be be forced to the WBCs schedule, before any real negotiations took place although there had been the usual back and forth in the media. Further negotiations then ceased due - according to Oscar - to Canelo's unresolved legal problems with his former promoter.
Not quite sure the version of events you describe quite tells the same story as Oscar and Canelo did, so I'm wondering what sources you used?
As to demands for 50/50 there is this from late 2016:
http://ucnlive.com/tom-loeffler-expects-impactful-2017-ggg/
...but i don't recall seeing any reports from 2016 that GGG was demanding 50/50 although it was a number of folk ran with that claim to blame Golovkin after Canelo said he wasn't going to be forced by the WBC into 'artificial deadlines'. Perhaps I missed some articles that show GGG demanded a half share?
After the smith fight canelo and Oscar said they had already made a big offer to golovkins team a YouTube reporter asked Tom Loeffler if it was true about the offer and he confirmed it was true and that it was for more than 12 million that was rumored and about the 50-50 around that time ggg went on espn a los golpes and bernardo osuna asked him if it was true he requested 50-50 and he said for this fight to happen it needs to be 50-50 there was no public pressure put on ggg to drop that ridiculous demand
the delay has always been there for live fights on main events, since the tv has to put ads in between rounds, so instead of the usual 1 minute in between, you get 2 minutes of ads, so even if the fight starts at the same time it will end 12 minutes later if it goes to 12 rounds, its always been like that for big fights where they depend on sponsors to pay for it...
The advertising is crazy in Mexico the announcer instead of calling the fights they have them selling Chevy trucks motor oil chips and college courses during the rounds with big pop ups all over the screen
Maybe he's signing with hearn.when they announced the canelo deal elli sechbach was at his gym and he looked really happy and told elli that he just finished talking to him
When Oscar says we will be shocked I'm going to go with someone nobody has mentioned or even considered in this thread: The UFCs unbeaten lightweight champion KHABIB
I don't think Nevada would even allow khabib to fight canelo if mayweather got a stoppage over connor imagine what canelo would do to an mma fighter with no boxing experience
No year layoff and knee surgery for canelo ggg took physical and mental damage in the fight he may come back as bad as chocolatito and he will be one year older with his unwillingness to take risk and attack the body in both fights guaranty he won't do it in the 3rd he has almost no chance
So that stopping in the middle of time-slipping and jumping to the live stream only happens on the PS4? I hate that crap!
Yeah it was smooth on the roku tried it wired and wireless no problems the same with hbogo app
Originally I was disappointed with it after trying it on my ps4 and smart tv there was bad video quality and frame rate issues with a wired connection but when I tried viewing it on a roku ultra the difference was night and day it was cable quality stream same with hbogo
What I'm saying is, they will eventually fight each other regardless of networks because of mandatories.
Crawford can't. He has to wait for all the PBC champions to unify first before he gets a shot at any of them. They will all fight each other before fighting Crawford. Crawford is only begging for the fights because he has no one else to fight on his own network.
Mandatory doesn't mean anything charlo might be taking step aside fees and if haymon tried to make the wbc give charlo the canelo fight wbc can mess with wilder and find a way to take his belt making him absolutely useless and missing out on millions.wbc won't want to ruin their relationship with canelo again and their elevating canelo franchise champ which probably will have new rules letting the champ pick the best fights for the sport or something if charlo wants a fight he will probably have to cross the street and earn the fight with fan demand because there is none at the moment they are completely irrelevant
Nelo would have ended that guy sooner.
Canelo actually ko ishida sparring in big bear before ggg fought him professionally and if I remember correctly he was signed to canelo promotions as was zurdo Ramirez
