Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto's Top Choice is Canelo, GGG Possible

[Light_Speed]

Because they know Ward will crucify GGG. He did excellent against a herky-jerky fighter but I still don't see this boxing machine. He is a tad bit better than Prodinokov.

Thats pretty much what I see, a provo with better punching technique.

At 168 Froch, and Ward beat him, and chavez gives him a run for his money.

Floyd sleeps with the lights on when he hears the name Gennady. Think about the ballz Leonard had to come off a 5 year retirement with no tune up fight, to step in with Marvin Hagler. Despite who you think won, that took massive size nutz to do that! Now imagine Floyd stepping in with Gennady while Floyd is active, no retirement.... There's no way in hell Floyd would climb in the ring with Gennady!!!! For no amount of money!!! Floyd is afraid to climb in with Manny Pacquiao who is smaller than Floyd, let alone go fight Gennady wearing any kind of glove Floyd might demand; maybe even bedroom pillows. It doesn't matter, Floyd never agrees to fight for Gennady's title.

Yeah, you on it. Leonard's career was carefully crafted. But the sheer audacity of the Hagler fight; going toe to toe against Duran and subsequently outclassing him in the No Mass rematch; and his late stoppage of Tommy in a fight he was losing; these put him in the ATG class.

If Floyd, Andre or Gennady make their mark with a similar resume of history-making fights, they will be accorded the same admiration.

That is just plain dumb you don't need history making fights to be an ATG

For the love of Pete!

Win, lose, or draw Cotto vs. Canelo would be a super fight!!!!

Take. my. money!!!

I have a sneaky feeling GGG has a really good shot at beating both guys. I would absolutely love to see a round-robin!!!

[rasdun]

Sneaky feelingg? He'd definitely be the favorite in both fights. He's way too big and powerful for cotto. Think cotto v Margarito I. Canelo would have to fight the perfect fight. Move in throw combinations, move out I can't see either guy beating this beast

Think cotto margarito 1??? Which part, the part cotto was dominating cheato for the first 6 rounds, or the part where the cement bricks in cheatos hands finally took its toll on cotto???? Maybe you should think cotto margarito 2 when the fight was fought on an even playing field!

[Toltec77]

If Cotto and Canelo fight it would be great! I have Canelo as the favorite to win but in no way do I count Cotto out, you never know what mite happen.

[BendOver]

How in this world can ggg beat cotto? Just how? Cotto will ko ggg is a mismatch. Now with canelo cotto will school him for first half of the fight than will gets stopped late because even know he is better than canelo he cant match canelo stamina and strenght.

You are been sarcastic, right?

[mex602]

Keep name calling all you want but you are WRONG!!! i cant take anything you say seriously you dont even know the mans accurate age, please your a canelo fan disguised as a unbiased fan. Canelo's size? yea because he completely over powered Mayweather? Cotto's brother? how many rounds did it take Canelo to over power josesito lopez? a Jr welter weight. you know nothing and thats a fact Mr 37. you wont be correct for another 4 years lmao, idiot.

lol you are stuck on that age lol

I love Cotto man but if he wants to retire he will fight GGG

Canelo finishes him to in a FOTY

Cotto vs Chavez jr is one I would like to see...

[White_Knight]

Keep on overhyping GGG. When Cotto destroys him you'll be calling GGG an overated hypejob

Cotto might not even be in the top 5 at 154. How's he going to beat the top dog at 160?

That farcical win over the middle-aged cripple has people thinking irrationally.
