Man I wish Pacquiao hasn't wrecked Margarito's eye. He would still be around, being a daddy to Cotto and then Canelo if they ever fought.Comment

lol um no he wouldn't need handwraps or an ATG chin because he wouldn't be landing on him like face-first margarito and he'd get combo'd til his fat ass ****** boyfriend runs in the ring to stop the onslaughtComment

Well, Canelo is only 24 so he's got time to catch up bro. Lol
Cotto will land plenty on Canelo. He got punched 100 times by a guy that you all are saying ran all night. Cotto hits him with thunder puto.Comment

That was a very good post. Green K coming your way.Obviously I have no insider information, but just from following the sport as of late, here's why I think the promoters don't seem to want to make that fight
#1. Bob Arum and HBO know that there are still major difficulties in working with Golden Boy. They know that not only are there promotional problems, but there would be issues about sponsors, what network the fight would be on etc. AND, they know that they don't have Cotto under contract, and that Miguel is free to work with who he wants on a fight-by-fight basis. So there's no reason for Bob and co. to want this fight, because they might not even be a part of it! And even if somehow they do get involved on the side of Cotto, there are still all of those aforementioned issues to deal with. It's much better for them to just get Cotto to agree to fight a Top Rank guy, like Tim Bradley, who we've been hearing about.
and #2. I don't believe Oscar wants to make the fight either. Say what you want about Richard Schaefer, but sleazy, corrupt bastard though he may be, the dude put on consistently good fights. Oscar loves to yap about "I want to make the best fights! The fans deserve the best fights!", but ever since he's been back and Richard's been gone, what have we seen? Al Haymon Specials (which, as we all know, are not special at all), mismatches between big name opponents and undeserving challengers whom everyone expects them to beat. It's bull****. And we know Oscar didn't want Canelo to fight Lara either. That one is almost understandable, given Lara's incredibly difficult style and the fact that he's a hard sell to a large audience. But I think it extends further than just that; I don't think Oscar wants Canelo to fight Cotto yet. For the same reasons he's okay with a lot of these other pathetic mismatches we've been getting recently. Which is ******, because I think it's a very winnable fight for Alvarez. And I hope he does like he did with Lara, and demand the fight.
I don't know. This is all speculation, but this is what I see when I try and read between the lines. I hope I'm wrong though, because it would be one hell of a fight.
Arum shouldn't be a stumbling block since Cotto theoretically is free to call his own shots. But the fact that Tim Bradley's name has been thrown out there already makes me think that the old buzzard wants to have a say in who he fights next.Comment
