Comments Thread For: Canelo Still Crossing Fingers For Miguel Cotto Clash

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by Salvador Rodriguez

Former champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) is still hoping to land a shot at former three division beltholder Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31KOs). Golden Boy Promotions have offered Cotto a guarantee of $10 million dollars to face Canelo on March 8th, on Showtime Pay-Per-View, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

But Cotto is also entertaining an offer, although for less money, to take on WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez on June 7th at New York's Madison Square Garden. Right now it's not completely clear who Cotto will end up fighting.

I'd rather see Miguel versus "Marravilla." I think Canelo is salivating at the thought of beating the past-prime, smaller Cotto for big money. Fuck him. Miguel and Sergio are both nearing the end of their careers. They'd be a little more evenly matched in that regard at least. And although the financial fortunes of fighters don't particularly interest me, I'd rather see Martinez pick up the payday. Alvarez has more lucrative fights in his future.

Canelo did worse against Mayweather than Guerrero did.

I'm wondering why Golden Boy won't make Canelo/Lara.

You need Cotto more than he needs you. Cotto-Martinez outsells Canelo-Angulo.

I think you already know the answer.

Canelo says that Cotto and him "need" each other? lol. It's time for Canelo to start stepping up and taking some risks.

Lara and Molina are available. Both of them are champs. Canelo already faced Mayweather and Trout. Mayweather and Trout were low risk fights. Against Mayweather he had a built in excuse of being 'inexperienced' and going up against the best p4p fighter in the world. Lara proved that Trout was simply never that good to begin with. But I'll give Canelo props for Trout.

If Canelo is considered the next star in the sport, the next great champ, then Lara or Molina must come next.

I have a feeling he'll be fighting Victor Ortiz before he fights Lara...
