    I agree. The kid has a lot of undeveloped potential and is very young. He is not a hype job in no way, shape, or form. I'd call Chavez Jr a hype job before thinking about even considering calling Canelo a hype job.

      A hypejob to me is someone who is so hyped up and hasn't done jack. Canelo doesn't fit that category. Maybe earlier in his career.

          You know how shit goes around here. Most of these guys just started watching boxing after DLH-Pacquiao. I agree with your version of a hype job. That's why I see Jr as one.

            Vote and discuss.
            Cotto v Canelo could be a great fight albeit a high risk low reward fight for Cotto. If Cotto wins they will say that Canelo was a big hype job to begin with and if he loses they will say that he had nothing left after the losses to Margacheato and Pacquiao. Canelo would be a tough test for Cotto as he proved he has a tough beard after taking some big shots from Mosley and I don't want to hear how Mosley was shot or is old or whatever because this is the same Mosley that starched Margacheato just a few fights back so he still has some pop. Cotto's saving grace in this fight is that he looked great against Mayweather, compared to what everyone thought he was going to do and I credit that to his new trainer who worked on Cotto's biggest weakness, stamina!

            On another note I have to give props to Mayweather, as much as I can't stand the MFer, he did go toe to toe with Cotto and gave a fan pleasing fight and although I am a Cotto fan Mayweather clearly won the fight even though I had the scores a little closer than the judges at 116-112 Mayweather. Cotto definitely has gained some new respect and fans for the performance against Mayweather. I have watched all of Mayweather's pro fights and the only other time he was touched as much as this fight was against Castillo I, so props to Cotto for bringing it.

              Cotto's new trainer is legit. This fight proved it.

                Take on the best - pfp top 5 contender Sergio Martinez @ 154lbs.

                We're boxing fans, we should want to see the best take on the best.

                  Canelo would be the best bet. Cotto is a small fighter at 154, so moving to 160 against Martinez would be ******. Cottos the draw, he should have to stress himself to come to any weight or any advantage of Martinez. The Lara fight is also ****** because Lara is a no body. The Canelo fight is an even fight and would be the most lucrative.

                    I can't call it. Interesting to see what Cotto does end up doing though. I falsely predicted he would contemplate retirement. The announcement that he will fight two to three more years is good news, but I don't think he'll get the rematches he's hoping for.

                      Fight Martinez

                      Go hard or go home. He's in the Top 3 right now in the game by most standards. The match up favors Cotto from a stylistic standpoint, this size is what'll be the main issue. Fight Martinez and win...he'll be in a prime spot to get a rematch with either two big wigs
