Comments Thread For: Cotto: Top Rank, GBP Would Need To Talk For Canelo Bout

[El Angel]

Cotto obtains ATG status if he breaks the network and promotional stalemate.

He already is...

Golden boy has done a horrible job with Danny Garcia, they wanted Eric morales to beat him the first fight and hoped Amir khan would win, plus they sured wouldn't have minded if Lucas had won! Figure Puerto Rico supports boxing big, why hasn't golden boy have Danny learn to speak Spanish or have a couple fights in Puerto Rico, having a country behind you makes golden boy and Danny a lot more money!!!

In all fairness Danny did throw a little spanish out there for the build up to his last fight. And they are keeping him in Barclays trying to make a home for him. He wasn't supposed to be a star, but he took it by force, and I really see him getting bigger because GB are building him up as we speak.

Funny how things work out. Cotto was shot after beating Foreman, Margarito, and Mayorga. Now he beats the worst fighter out of all those guys now he's all of a sudden back? Im not here to knock Cotto because I like the guy but you fans are all over the place. Anyways Im down for Cotto vs Canelo or even Cotto vs Floyd II for that matter.

Yes......people are getting way too excited about that win

I'd like to see Cotto vs Martinez cause they're both kinda at the end of there road and Canelo vs GGG cause Canelo is young and GGG isn't so young but he's still pretty fresh for the most part. Cotto is a little shopworn, I think Canelo is a bad matchup for him.

Golden Boy doesn't know how to build fighters because they've never had to.


from GBP's inception they had sweet heart deal with HBO, when Ross Greenburg was running it. so HBO basically bought and over paid for any fight GBP wanted to put on. even with former Golden Boy lawyer Espinoza running Showtime, they basically get the green light on any fight they want.


Arum and a lot of other promoters didn't get that kind of help so they had to build fighters, create interest, build up these spectacles that fans wanted to see.

Arum is POS but he knows boxing and how to make money

Canelo better hope this doesn't get made. He might think of retiring after Cotto thrashes through him

Canelo is going to tear the frame off of Cotto if they fight.

GBP's current crop of stars were built up at HBO's expense. Canelo, Broner, Berto, Khan, Ortiz, Matthysse, and a long list of stars. Most of them were built up fighting cab drivers. Showtime is reaping the rewards.

You based your entire point the first time around solely on money...now you want to act like it's about the sweet science. I don't need to go back and quote you on it because you know i'm right. As I stated I care about match-ups versus hype/pay/purse unlike most. You say GBP fighters would stomp TR fighters? Well as a consumer start demanding it...ya'll are funny on here. One minute you guys are accusing arum of being a money hungry disloyal lying mofo and the next ya'll are saying he's allergic to money. Pick an argument...TR is scared to fight GBP fighters but somehow have no issue at all working with other promoters...how did Dibella and AArum work out? Pretty damn well for everyone involved. The irony here is Dibella and Sam Lebowicz who have nothing to do with TR are saying the same thing Arum is saying about GBP but of course it's TR's fault their fighters don't fight GBP fighters..if that's the case i'll ask again what's the excuse for GBP not doing business with Dibella and Lebowicz? Oh that's right everyone at GBP has to at minimum sign a one fight contract and sell their soul by signing with Al Haymon but i'm making that up right? In regards to Guerrero...what's his most notable win? Berto? Ortiz's most notable win? Berto? Broner's most notable win? Malignaggi? So you are honestly in here claiming these are spectacular fighters for beating Berto and Malignaggi and pretty much nothing else. I'll go as far as to say Bradley has a better resume than all three of them combined but hey don't let the facts change your opinion. I'm a fan of Canelo I think the kid is something new, I do wish he'd leave Chepo and was hoping to see him bring in more experienced people to help him develop. I like Garcia but depending on how dedicated he remains will determine how high he climbs, having Brother Naz's people working with you is never a bad thing. In fact i'll say Garcia deserves more praise and a higher standing than Broner. I like Lucas but again another guy who could potentially be limited by their trainer. I don't have any issues with GBP but I will say folks blame everyone else except them for a climate they themselves created.

Both my claims were the same... Golden Boy has the better fighters and that's why people pay to watch them period. I like Bradley but at then end of the day... Broner, Canelo, Garcia, and Thurman will be the future of boxing. All Golden Boy fighters save this if you think I am bluffing.

Them boys can fight... They keep winning and keep and people will pay. Same shyt different toilet haters are feeling sick over this past month or so. And in December get ready to talk bad about Maidana after Broner beats him.

Your right golden boy now has no choice because Danny kick all there asses!!!
Now I don't blame golden boy because khan has a huge fan base and so does morales and at the end of the day it's about selling tickets and they do!! Now golden boy has to take Danny for his very next fight and have fight in Puerto Rico, against a top ten opponent, if Danny is going to go to the next level this has to happen! Trinidad, cotto, juanma,Rosario, all born in Puerto Rico I know. But look at camacho New York Puerto Rican who always embraced by his country men because he fought over there, plus he was constantly over there doing interviews! Boxing is front page news over there!
