Comments Thread For: Arum Expects Cotto To Have Fight Before Canelo Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank confirmed a recent story on BoxingScene.com, that Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming training camp impacted Miguel Cotto’s decision to postpone his return to the ring from Dec. 13 to an undetermined date early in 2015.

“Freddie [Roach] is going to be in the Philippines [with Pacquiao] and Miguel decided he didn’t want to go to Asia to train,” Arum said following a news conference to promote the Pacquiao-Chris Algieri fight Nov. 22 in Macau, China. “So he’s going to postpone it until the first couple months of next year. Then he’ll have Freddie all to himself.”

There goes Andy Lee's name again

I'm no big Saul Alvarez fan, but man, is he gonna give Miguel a beating.

Nothing against Andy Lee but I would rather Cotto go str8 for Canelo in May. Arum is saying this but it would be great if Cotto said no thanks to Andy Lee since he is "his own boss."

Good idea to get a title defence in before losing the belt to Canelo.

Of course....plus this will give Bob time to have a new stadium built for the fight. DIE BOB DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

And Arum knows it

Canelo isn't beating cotto Canelo has problems and questionable wins against lesser opponents

Fighting Canelo coming off an 11 month lay off is no bueno for Cotto. He definitely needs a tune up first.

Not a good idea to go into a fight with a young Canelo with ring rust
