If Mayweather fights Canelo...

[P4P_No1]

This convo isnt about that, but while we are on the subject, canelo fought a nobody for a vacant belt, and has yet to really defend it against any legitimate person.

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Martinez already signed on to fight Macklin on the 17th March?

So it would be a bit weird him having that fight and then fighting again May 5th wouldn't it?

when I said "long time ago", I didnt mean literally. I just meant it wouldve been made a week or so ago

Well just have to wait and see how all the chips fall, it definitely sounds fishy tho. The cotto fight was on the table, and he hasnt even signed a fight yet, yet mayweather agrees to fight a young green dude. Sounds like mayweather doesnt want any part of cotto imo.

Weve already discussed that. Martinez was calling out mayweather well before macklin was even born.

But nobody knows how the negotiation was so we can't really comment on that in this very moment. It's still possible that Cotto/Chavez Jr is made for late Spring/Early Summer with Cotto have some sort of new fight deal with Top Rank. And that probably looks better than whatever Mayweather and GBP were offering. Until more information is released, it can't be stated that Mayweather just chose to fight Canelo over Cotto because it wasn't as simple as that.

Canelo is currently a better fighter than Cotto's last 3 opponents.

Yes, his marquee win over alfonso f'n gomez proved that to me.

in terms of raw talent yes canelo > cotto's last three fights

His wins over Matthew, Rhodes, Cintron, or Gomez don't matter. Canelo is a better fighter than the versions of Mayorga and Margarito Cotto fought, and Canelo would beat Foreman right now.

-kev- got on the dot lol

So, cotto comfortably outboxed an undefeated boxer, comfortably outboxed mayorga (who isnt much, but better than alfonso), and completely outboxed margarito, cotto is now meh?

And, because canelo fought the loser of a fight, and alfonso gomez, and ryan rhodes (whoever that is), he is now more talented?

lol

But he did win a vacant belt against Luciano cuello. Thats gotta be worth something.
