Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: Canelo Should Fight Cotto Next, Not Floyd

[boxingfan10]

Miguel Cotto needs to defeat a top ten contender to gain
his confidence back and then, he can challenge a legitimate
belt holder in the division. Just look at his friend Juan Manuel
Lopez he just defeated two lesser opponents in tune up bouts
and now Lopez is going to fight Miguel Angel Garcia June 15th.

Cotto should move back down to 147 all his 154 fights except trout were against non 154 fighter thats why mayweather chose him since he knows he not really a 154 pounder. Canelo sees that too he should fight top contenders in his weight class.

After seeing ginger fight like a rookie still cotto would test him and even beat him but cotto has to make it clear and to close because Canelo will always get gifts

you seriously dont know ***** about boxing ,your a lame who only roots for P.R. Fighters . Cotto would get dusted by canelo .

But I thought the PR is mad at cotto?? I doubt this fight will get a lot of interest, its already too late in cottos career for him to be a threat and most people can see this even the PR. No chance cotto will beat canelo if this goes down, it's gonna be another beating cottos gonna have to take.

Why wait, for Floyd to turn a year older, Canelo has already proven he's gonna beat Cotto with his victory over Trout, he isnt ready for Mayweather? so when is Canelo ready Mr.Sulaiman, does Alvarez still need to beat Lara, or Kirkland who wasnt fought for over a year.

Alvarez has lots of options next year, win or lose against Mayweather.

Schaefer said he has already begun early negotiations for a Mayweather-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fight for that night. (i.e. Sept. 14)
"I've started having conversations and I'm planning on probably getting together some time later this week with Al Haymon (Mayweather's adviser) and talk to Canelo as well, and see if it can get done," Schaefer said.

Does this means that Floyd would now take the Canelo fight? So it seems...
In my opinion it's too early for Alvarez for such a fight -- as Canelo showed the tendency to lower his hands in the late rounds, during the Trout fight... But the opportunity for Canelo to establish himself as a PPV star (on behalf of Mayweather's present status) would make him eventually accept Floyd's terms, even if these would lead to Canelo's first loss...
It's obvious that this fight (if such a fight will ever happen) should be next -- as Alvarez has to move up North in the middleweight division...

The nr 2 at that weight class should not fight the nr 1 at that weight class.
Now we know why boxing is such bad shape because of those scumbag governating bodies.Instead of making them fight each other this greedy scumbag
tries to not make the fights that are competitive.

[aces725]

Those picking Canelo over cotto because Trout beat him clearly don't know boxing , that logic has been proven to be false time and time again .. Canelo cotto has fight of the year potential

As much as i hate to admit it,troll Suliman is right on this one.
And just because Cotto lost a close one to Trout,lets not forget
Canelo vs Trout was also close.It would put Cotto in a do or die position
to redeem himself,Which i think would bring out the best in him.
Canelo is just not ready for Floyd yet,unless everybody wants to see Floyd
hit n move all night again and give a boxing lesson

[mikinoki]

Canelo should fight Floyd!
