Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Miguel Cotto is also an Option For Canelo

[AL_Camino]

Definitely will be difficult for Cotto to get the W, Canelo has some real power and quick combinations, also a true j middleweight, but I know Cotto will put up a good fight. I am down for this one to get signed. Would be action packed.

Dont think Money will fight him after he pulled out of his card,also what weight would they fight? Floyd is not a 154 lb fighter. Cotto would be a good money maker and a good test for Canelo as well. Cotto can still punch hard so maybe an upset

Canelo

Honestly I'm Puerto Rican, and Miguel Cotto for me means a lot, since he was the first fighter that got me interested in boxing, ever since his fight with Judah I've been hooked on boxing, I have never picked against Cotto in any fight and a year ago I would have said Cotto knocks out Canelo easily, after Cotto's last fight and Canelo's last fight I have to say Cotto doesn't have any business in there with Canelo, in his last fight his punches didn't have almost any effect on Trout. I think there were some times like I think it was on the 8th round that Cotto might have stunned him but other than that Cotto fought a weird fight, Canelo proved last Saturday to be a superior boxer than Trout and even though Canelo looks to have stamina issues, he has size and power, Cotto will not be able to bully him around and out boxing him is not an option because he would get tired faster. I think Cotto should fight the Smith-Molina winner for a title which is a winnable fight for him, do a couple of defenses and call it a day, but Canelo is too young, too big and too much power for Cotto.

Canelo

Interesting fight to watch but i dont think this will help canelo prepare for a floyd fight.

GBP have already said that if Canelo beats Trout, his options are Cotto, Angulo, Martinez.

Let's do process of elimination.

Angulo will lose to Lara and GBP will not want to put Canelo in the ring with Lara. So cross out Angulo.

Martinez is fighting Murray, followed by possible fights with either Golovkin or a rematch with Chavez Jr if he accepts blood testing. Also, GBP will not put Canelo in with Martinez knowing they can make themselves and Canelo a heck of a lot more money with other fighters.

That fighter is named Miguel Cotto, and that is going to be Canelo's first PPV. Thousands of fans will accuse Mayweather of ducking Canelo but the fact is Canelo vs Cotto is the better fight right now, and Mayweather vs Canelo can wait for May 2014 IMO. Mayweather can fight some one else in September to stay busy, hopefully a decent opponent. Decent stay-busy opponents to me would be Alexander, winner of Maidana-Lopez, Ortiz rematch, Keith Thurman, James Kirkland.

In a perfect world though, where star power does not matter, Mayweather vs Lara at 154 in September would be, on paper, one of my favorite fights in years. But there is so much against that match up, most importantly that Lara is unknown, it's impossible for Floyd to accept that fight unless he's guaranteed a certain amount, very large amount.
