    Which would turnout to be a better fight for PBF

    PBF has announced to us that he's not interested in Guerrero 'cause ain't nobody heard of him. He ain't interested in Cotto because he's PAC's leftover(however he brings a sizeable fanbase), he's not interested in Marquez either 'cause he already taxed that &ss. I don't remember what he said about fighting Canelo.

    But, the only fights that makes sense economically would be Canelo, Cotto, and maybe if Ortiz wins big against Berto. Lets not even bring up Sergio because we all know that ain't gonna happen..

    Now, I don't see Canelo, Cotto or Ortiz beating PBF(outside of KO's do happen in boxing or PBF looking every bit of his 35years of age). But, who do you think will give him more than 4 competitive rounds. Please vote on the poll

    Cotto holds the most interest for me. That fight should have been made years ago but it is an OK fight.

      Although I don't see any being a severe struggle, I think the best competition would come from a fight with Canelo Alvarez. Canelo constantly comes forward with heavy blows, and although he would likely be countered often the power in his shots could take a toll on a 35 year old PBF, if they were able to land with any degree of consistency.

      I will also say that in the Mayweather-Ortiz matchup, right before the KO the fight had just begun to heat up, and it almost seemed Mayweather was bothered by Ortiz's style. Not sure if this was just ring rust or a tactical move, but I thought a war was just beginning to heat up when Ortiz got KTFO lol!

        I was sensing the same thing, but, Ortiz is just a mental midget.

          Canelo has a big following but so does Cotto and he been around long enough for people to recognize him. Cotto is the bigger name, I'd expect a bigger turnout and he got better boxing skills than Canelo at this point in time. Canelo needs more seasoning.

              I agree lol, I hope Berto takes care of him in the rematch. I thought Andre won the first time too but oh well

                Yeah Canelo definetly needs more time in the ring because quite a few times in recent fights I have noticed him frustrated with his opponent and open for big shots that never end up coming. What would you think of a Cotto-Alvarez fight?
