Comments Thread For: Team Canelo To Have January Meeting To Select Foe

[julian45]

I'd love to see Canelo vs Martinez. That has classic written all over it.

Martinez beast him so bad he requires radical reconstructive facial surgery after fight man, com on, it will be MAN VS BOY missmatch. You are insane if you think he gets through it on his feet. Canelo would only have a slight chance with Cotto, a SLIGHT chance. This funny as all hell

If he can't fight Cotto, Martinez or Mayweather.... is there really a reason not to fight his mandatory after how many voluntary defenses? I think every "defense" he had since he won the belt has been voluntary

I love how they're going to "select (the) foe". Like he's the A fighter in any of these matchups. He does sell tickets, but those 3 guys are going to select their own foes, and he should be grateful if they select him.

Guaranteed it won't b Vanes/Lara/Kirkland & Alvarez will b in year 2 & not fighting a #1 or his mandatory...what a fraud...

[fallen9182]

So pretty much what this says is they're going to try and fight Cotto if he wins against Trout. I seriously doubt GB wants Martinez or Floyd for Canelo lol...

[MarcoHooker]

He gets beat by all 3 and I'll laugh when it happens

I doubt he's gonna fight one of those guys though, there are easier fights out there if they really want to milk the cash cow

Rhodes was his mandatory, and that was in June 2011.

Cotto no doubt about it

Wha? He was the mando?
NVM then.
Still, I don't see Canelo fighting a mando any time soon. WBC "rules" say you have to face a mando every 6 months or you'll be stripped... or at least for Donaire and Bradley that applied

Meanwhile,he will probably balloon to 180+ lbs until may,the kid needs to stay active to keep his edge.
