canelo beats cotto then Angulo/Lara and this fight might be biggest PPV ever. Canelo will be certain legit with those wins. Cotto just a feather I know but it'll build him

so now he has to beat Cotto, Angulo AND Lara?


you want a 40yr old Floyd fighting Canelo?

if youre a boxing head, you dont need this fight to get bigger or marinate or whatever the ****. its gotta happen next before:

1. something derails it.
2. more roadblocks get added
3. we have to first go through canelo v cotto and mayweather vs khan./garcia - we REALLY dont need to sit through these.

of course, there IS an argument to be made for letting it get bigger. but it all centres on floyd mayweather getting a bigger ppv upside.

which none of us (and this includes you dlt) get the benefit of.

more exposure does mean more PPV sales. Don't get me wrong if it happens in Sept then I'm all for it. Look At my avi. I'm a canelo fan but he has one good win and this would give him three and much more marketable. To me the fight in Sept it would be big but next May it would be a monster event.

Angulo fight Lara on June 8th. The "/" means whoever the winner is. A fight in Sept and then one more maybe in Dec, if he can, and fight Floyd May 3rd. Monster event with good names on resume and more time to develop skills.

And if floyd says no then canelo I don't think will need Floyd by that time and can have a big event against Martinez for lineal MW crown.

But like I said this is just for argument sake. If it happens in Sept I have no issues with it at all.

i dont give a crap about Canelo-Cotto if Canelo-Floyd can be made now


the shameless justification of Floyd fans delaying a super fight in hopes that it gets derailed is just sad

i dont think they want to see the fight derailed. i think the problem is, they defend floyd's logic too much. they approach everything from a floyd centric view, rather than a boxing fan point of view, and thats why the start saying illogical things.

like now, we got people arguing why delaying it and marinating it is a good thing. yeah, it's good for floyd, he makes a few more millions on the ppv upside.

but for us fans? the time to make the fight is now.

floyd fans? they wanna see the fight too but they're too bound up in floyd logic, which means they actually start to say things like cotto vs canelo should go ahead first, so canelo builds his name up.....but who the hell really wants to see cotto vs canelo?

That's deep. Kellerman. Thanks for the amazing insight.

Fight happens you will see which side of the fence I stand on.

Argument sake. if it happens in Sept lets go but If we all just agreed where would the fun be.

i've never met a legit fight fan that is happy to 'marinate' a potential super fight


"but but but imagine the numbers it will do if Canelo get's an even bigger name!"


WTF
