SOURCE: Canelo in LA to finalize Mayweather bout

[PACsmash]

I knew Mweather-Cotto at 154 and Pacquiao-Bradley was too good to be true, besides Floyd-Manny,

Now we're going to get two C+/B- fights like Mayweather-Alvarez and Pacquiao-Cotto II at 147-150.

i think pac might get bradley... no way cotto will come down to 147 but i can see pac agreeing to 150 if push comes to shove but still no point in that fight.

I only care about Mayweather-Cotto or Pacquiao-Cotto II if it's at 154.

We know damn well it won't be, but I'd bet my life that if this story is true, than Cotto will agree to 147 lbs without a doubt.

It'll be funny to hear the hardcore Manny fans retreat now and say "Bradley didn't deserve a Manny fight in the first place". Bradley would have been Pac's best option BY FAR, since he's not going to 154 to fight Cotto.

I was actually really looking forward to Pacquiao-Bradley, especially because it would have been the first absolute prime guy that Manny has fought since Solis, and Jorge can't carry Tim's jock strap.

Take this for what it's worth.

By Tim Sladeck,I just received a text message from a top member of Team Pacquiao- He stated to me it has been confirmed.Manny Pacquaio will be fighting Timothy Bradley on June 9th 2012Floyd Mayweather Jr will be fighting Canelo Alvarez on May 5th 2012Let the Festivities begin.

I think he will fight Mosley not Mayweather!!

Expect Cotto-Pacquiao to be announce as soon as Mayweather annouces his opponent(if is not Cotto himself ofcourse)


In end **** Manny Pacquiao and **** floyd Mayweather Jr., they should both lose their next fight in order to restore soemthing back in boxing.

It would be perfect, if floyd loses to Canela, and then Cotto proceeds to KTFO Pacquiao and Arum dies of a heart attack teh same night.

I still have my flight booked to Vegas on May 4th, **** it I'll go anyway.

I don't understand some people, justifiably so they were all over Guerrero but I haven't heard the same for Canelo.

Who the heck has he beaten to get a shot at FMJ?

it dont matter...canelo got a fan base that will buy this PPV

No way. If Cotto is out there, Bob Arum will make that fight. He'll offer Cotto big cash, and Miguel will agree to 147 or something. If it's Floyd-Canelo, who else is there for Cotto to fight???? Julio Cesar Chavez Jr??? I doubt Cotto would fight him, as opposed to trying to avenge his only other loss, which was to Manny.

Pacquiao-Cotto II at 147-150 and Mayweather-Alvarez at 154. Damn....Both are C+ fights, maybe B- at the most.

Canelo jr shocks the world and beats a distracted Mayweather thinking about his jail sentence. Knocking him down a few times.

[Javii86]

Neither one of them have beaten anyone to justify a fight; so **** take the one with the bigger drawing power and that's Carnelo by a landslide... who else is it to fight, Floyd said he would fight Martinez if Martinez can make 150, I doubt Martinez can even make 154 to tell you the truth... either way I'm not ordering this **** nor the Pacquiao fight (whoever he fights)... **** both of them

Wasn't Floyd asked by a reporter that Martinez stated he's willing to go down to 150? So he just responded to that?

If true, Manny picked the better opponent this time around. Bradley is an A- fight, Canelo right now is a C+/B-.

[Fetta]

What a joke of a fight and for the record it has nothing to do with giving up on this kid, it's all about money.

When Canelo loses, it will have no negative effect on his career. The Canelo people can go back to just saying how young he is and how great Mayweather is.

Just like Ortiz didn't suffer from his loss vs Mayweather.

Boxing is all about the money now. And your right this won't hurt his career. it is a great opportunity to showcase to millions more. If he's a little bit impressive than his stock will skyrocket. If he wins he will be worldwide huge. If he gets blown out then he was young. Win win
