De La Hoya eyes 154-pound tourney

[Sttag]

He ducked Canelo for being on a "vacation". Pulling a Floyd Mayweather.

If the tournament goes through and he joins up on it, I'll swear to you I'll eat my words and give him props for that. I don't know about you but I like unification and tournament type of **** to determine the best in the divisions. You're a fan of Andre Ward, you should know what I'm saying.

Yeah he won't join, but I agree with his lawyers and don't think he's ducking the ginger. I actually think the Canelo-Cotto fight is inevitable. There is way to much of a storyline and drama behind it for it not to happen. So I don't worry about it much. I actually favor the ginger by a hair.

Anyways, you know you weren't, you're just feeding your schadenfreude.

i'm not hating, i'm just pointing out the truth son. Don't like it? Here!

why the bottle?i simply asked a question

[rogdogx]

If Cotto hasn't fought the best, who do you consider "the best"?

Who is on ur avi? Looks weird but the tattoos r interesting.

DLH just said he had an idea for a tournament and hadnt even talked with his own ppl at GB much less any fighters or managers, lol @ these clowns hating on cotto and mayweather based on that. its sad how some ppl really are obsessed with throwing dirt on another mans name for no reason.

as for the tourney, i think its a great idea. 8 ppl might be too much, no fighter with a big name is gonna sign up for 3 straight fights, especially if they are at the end of their career. if you make it an 8 man tourney you will miss out on the biggest names, then again the division is so strong if you dont include more than 4 fighters you will miss out on some fighters who deserve to be in there.

regardless its good for boxing that these kind of things are ojn the promoters mind. thats what i was saying when everybody was *****ing and moaning about how the super 6 was some huge failure, it was new to boxing so you couldnt expect it to be perfect on the first try but it will set up great things in the future. first the bantam tourney and now perhaps this.

[..WaRSpencE..]

LOL!!

and I leave for weeks even months at a time and things never change..Fantastic/Chicano finds ways to slip a Cotto diss in every day..

the funniest part is people entertain his ******ity..I did at one point..then he rambles how he's actually a fan of his..he just hates his nationalistic stans.. as he puts it..yet goes back on to hating like a vieja again..

homeboy is obsessed..its pretty sick actually..claiming he does it for fun..to get a laugh but its extreme..hes like 30 and hates on a pro boxer like he's a 12 year old disgruntled fan that didn't get his poster signed..

as for the tourney..I love the idea of a tournament..as long as the participants don't start pulling out like in the super six tourney..I think Lara wins it all to be honest..but Canelo has a solid shot as well..I'm very interested in this tourney actually..

I don't like the idea of a single elimination tournament because STYLES makes Fights, GBP might give Canelo the Easiest Path to the Championship, it doesn't eliminate Triangle Theories, and fighters occasionally have bad nights.

I think a Double Elimination Tournament, the one with a Losers bracket, will be more fair for everyone involved if not a Round Robin, which is the fairest since everyone fights each other.

A shorter tournament will prevent that.

Single elimination tournament is the best system IMO but it has to have random draw. Put the fighters names on papers, shuffle them and have Oscar or Schaefer pick them.

[Chrismart]

Its a great idea, hopefully there is some interest in getting it off the ground.
Couldn't see Mayweather or Cotto talking part, but some decent names would be interested you would think:

Alvarez
Lara
Kirkland
Angulo
Trout
Molina
Vanes
K9?

Maybe even someone like Berto could move up in weight to take part.
Its something id love to see.

[niallcollins]

lara would win that tournament at 154 without floyd

[Bushbaby]

The only thing I wanna know are the fighters that ginger is fighter. He's the least proven fighter. I know his opponents would be precisely cherrypicked.
