Comments Thread For: Team Canelo Waiting, and Hoping, Cotto Takes Deal

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

He's a fool if he takes the Canelo fight. A Canelo win doesn't do anything for his resume. Canelo lost his last fight, the kid is too young and inexperienced. He should rather go with the Martinez fight. If he wins that his stock will rise. A future Canelo fight will go for $15M. A Floyd rematch will be for $30M. A Pacquiao rematch will also be possible.

More importantly he becomes a lineal middleweight champ. He could become this era's one of 3 ATGs.

If I was Cotto I go for Martinez because is an opportunity you cant pass up. You get that 4th division title and back on the P4P list. He will have Mayweather sucking his balls to get a rematch and a Canelo fight will be bigger.

Either way Cotto gets the money now or later so I go for Martinez.

What makes you think Cotto will beat Martinez right now? hell no, even a washed up old Martinez is too big and still too mobile for the Cotto who destroyed Rodriguez, I'd say go for Canelo first and then go for Martinez after, if he does that, Martinez will be a more winnable fight, he'll still be older and his legs will be worse.

Even if the loses to Canelo he'd stay a big name for his last big fight pursuing a 4th division title. if he fights now and get's beaten by Martinez bye bye Cotto, no more ppv for him.

And believe me I'm a big fan of Cotto.

Alvarez is nothing like Margarito. Fans foolishly expected him to fight like El Tornado de Tijuana when Canelo fought Mayweather. Mexicans were disappointed. Prime Margs would have brutalized the ginger kid worse than Cotto.

Of course he's not, Margarito is the most 1 dimensional fighter ever, he blocks punches with his face, no technique at all, just brute force, at least Canelo has technique, of course if you don't know boxing you won't appreciate it, Canelo ain't the elite boxer, but almost everyone turned they back on him when he lost to Floyd, an all time great. so sad. Kid's got skills and he'll be back believe me, he aint no Chavez Jr. bum.

Of course it will do something.....................give him a guaranteed $10m to provide for his family future, almost sure every boxer fights for providing his family. What if he looses to Martinez?

See how dumb you sound?

$5M vs $10M, I don't think that's a bridge too far.

Imagine being called dumb by someone who uses "loose".

I still think Lara is the better fight than Cotto for Alvarez. This will not be a boring fight at all. Lara will not run because Canelo is not a pressure fighter.

Man, I hope Lara pulls an impressive win against Trout.

Uhh, $5 Million is quite a difference.

If a young undefeated Cotto couldn't keep Margarito off of him, how can he keep Alvarez off. He will look good for the first two rounds, then he will begin to fall apart and so will his family watching.

true but alvarez wont have bricks under his gloves.
