[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com spoke to Gary Shaw, the promoter of Alfredo "El Perro" Angulo about recent rumblings that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. doesn't want to go to the Philippines to train for a potential bout with Miguel Cotto on December 4th. BoxingScene's Jhonny Gonzalez first reported on Chavez's reluctance to go to the Philippines last week.

I'll fight anybody not named Sergio MArtinez. Anyway a fight between these two should be fun to watch but I dought Bob will let it happen.

A lot better than the JR. fight....Go for it Perro

So Angulo... wants nothing of Martinez for $750K, but want to fight Cotto. I bet you he does it for 300K!

I like the matchup and I put my money on Cotto. To much skills and Alfredo prior to his KO of the love child was getting hit a bit too much. If cintron was able to outbox angulo, I see no reason why Cotto (with better skills) can't do the same.

Angulo is betting on his pressure which will make him a easy target.

Perro would murder Cotto. Cotto wont handle his punch. And Angulo would catch him eventually

people have to stop hating on angulo that was a good move from angulo. most people picked martinez to out box him so wats the point on making the fight just for the money? thats some thing marquez should of done with the mayweather fight but instead he fought mayweather and lost and killed his chances of a third fight with pac. but angulo would kill cotto bc he has no punch resistance after the 2 beatings he took.

No hating brother... I'm a fan of both fighters (and that's what they are).

But to turn down a fight at a higher weight with guarantees that you will get another shot at HBO at 154... it's not a smart move (something that both his manager and promoters have attested). In this economy, I bet you a whole bunch of other contenders would have jumped at the opportunity.

With regards to Cotto... we agree to disagree. Cotto has a good chin it took Margo/Pacman 12 rounds to take down the puertorican. And at this stage of his career I doubt that cotto would engage Angulo... he would put punches together and keep his off balance (strenght aside... there is not one thing that Angolo does better than cotto). Again.. if Cintron did it... why is it so strange to believe that Cotto can.
