Comments Thread For: Cotto Heads To Alvarez-Lopez, Eyes Canelo For May

[yocto]

why the **** didnt cotto just fight canelo in december, instead of now waiting another 8 months to possibly fight him,i was dissapointed in cotto/trout as i really wanted to see canelo/cotto in december

because Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, just like Sept 15.

Both dates are reserved for the best fights of the year.

"Shined masterfully against" that is such an overstatement i dont know where to start. First that Mosley was allready past his prime, did you forget that Mosley had just struggled badly and was down on the scorecards before a last second ko of the great Ricardo Mayorga. Not only that it was a super close fight for cotto. Hes a very good fighter but over rated by many.

Mosley was no where past prime other than when he faced Canelo. Cotto boxed brilliantly unlike prior fights is what my point was. Indeed the fight was close but Cotto controlled the fight and imo legitimately won. Those who continue to claim he is overrated have underlying agendas not necessarily consistent with an objective view of the sweet science as their basis for their opinions.

That fight could have gone either way, so no he didn't shine masterfully like you stated. Anyways it would be a great fight between him, and Canelo would be fireworks in the making.

Not necessarily focusing on the outcome as I stated already in prior post. It will be an exciting fight no doubt. assuming each wins their upcoming bouts which is no guarantee.

I like Cotto but I personally can't wait for Canelo to beat his ass.

Cotto will be unified champ for a little bit before the corrupt WBC strips him for being a unified champ.

Cotto versus Canelo Would Be An EPIC Fight!

Mayweather could learn something from these two warriors. Fight the best of the best, win, lose, or draw, and let the money take care of itself. Don't see these warriors afraid to get it on. Floyd needs to grow a set.

Come on man, he fought Mayorga AFTER Cotto. He fought and looked damn good against Luis Collazo, who had just come off a fight where many thought he got robbed against Hatton. If you're not sure, use boxrec.

I would have liked to see this fight this year in December.

[Mr. Philadel]

Doesn't surprise me cause Cotto is always looking to fight the big names out there. lets get it done!

this all day^^^^^^^^

I would LOVE to see this fight happen, but I think we will see Floyd-Canelo. Floyd aint getting near Martinez if Sergio pounds Chavez.
