Comments Thread For: Cotto Says Canelo Clash is Very Possible This Year

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

Martinez>cotto>canelo I think they all need to fight each other

[kingfaze19]

mayweather rematch sound good to me, i dont care what those scorecards said, cotto took floyd to the kitchen and put the stove to his face, that fight was close.

Cotto Is very close to becoming the new Oscar. Beat up a few average guys which boost him for a mega fight but get his butt whooped. Rinse and repeat

win or lose he is a warrior

That's what I'm thinking too. Should have took that 10 milly. If the martinez fight happens and cotto loses he's not getting 10. Bad money move

That's what I'm saying.....Cotto had the money fight in his hands but his ego got the best of him. He thought he would prove a point to Canelo by not being dictated to and he moves on to fight Martinez thinking Sergio will turn onto a complete bush and cave into to every demand he doles out.

Once he sees that Sergio actually has other options and doesn't need the money, he finds himself in a bind. If he tries to piss Sergio off, dude will fight his mando, leaving Cotto in no man's land.......he really took a gamble and is actually in a tough spot now.

Sergio will make far less bank fighting Rubio but he knows it will severely disadvantage Cotto given his interactions with Canelo previously. Sergio is a smart businessman, Cotto won't be able to "boss" him around like he can other guys.[/QUOTE]

Agree completely

I've watched the fight a few times and I think you're crazy. Cotto won at most 4 rounds. A little blood on the nose from a jab and a lot of misses on the ropes that the crowd ooo'd and aaaa'd about doesn't win that many rounds. Sure, it was more competitive than Canelo or Guererro, but not by that much. 116-112 or 117-111 looked correct there.

Other than De La Hoya, nobody has scored near Floyd since Castillo I (and Castillo II really). And De La Hoya was a very technical pts scoring (Floyd wasn't throwing a lot, and De La Hoya soaked up some pretty easy rounds at times, but still clearly lost 7-5 or so).

Canelo vs cotto guaranteed would do way more Ppv than mayweather vs amir 'con'. I wish cotto fought canelo first so to hear mayweather reaction to having lower ppv than the two guys he beat. Mayweather wouldn't sale without the Hispanic/mexican market. Only reasons he fights on our holidays (May /sept ). Mayweathers so called ppv records have been due to him fighting the most popular mexican fighter (de la hoya / canelo )

i disagree, i saw floyd taken to deep waters, he never hurt cotto, and you know it was serious since floyd went back to his father to train him, since his pops is more defensive minded, i saw that fight closer, floyds punches are flashy but he does a lot of missing, and the youtube footage of the fight thats available has two commentators being groupies for floyd not giving cotto no props, so that can cloud perception. floyd - cotto is more intriguing than floyd-khan/maidana

Now that I think of it he might already be there. Beat yuri foreman and marg boom fight Floyd. Best Edwin Rodriguez boom fight Sergio.

[matrixskillz]

now that's a fight worth watching. i'd favor cotto in a slugfest.

Confident

I think Cotto chose Sergio not only for shot at the title but because he's more confident of a win over him than one over Canelo. If he doesn't beat Canelo, i see it as his exit from the sport. If he does, then they'll [only] go for FMM. That is if FMM accepts
