Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Cotto is Second Biggest in Boxing

[Build That Wall]

Ward as great as a fighter he is, no draw. We are talking about what would be the 2nd biggest fight right now and its definitely Cotto-Canelo. So we are talking about Derek Jeter now?? Come on just nonsense. Mayweather better pick Pac for his next fight because he will lose that May date.

I'm telling you, If Showtime Makes Mayweather vs Garcia, and the Undercard Broner vs Maidana 2 and Keith Thurman vs Kell Brook, That will bring in some solid numbers and you could even add Wilder vs Stiverne and make that the Co Main Event. That would do way better than Canelo vs Cotto. It probably would out do Canelo vs Cotto by A lot. And it would be a big step forward for Al Haymon's Promotional Company.

the 3rd imo..
Pac vs Canelo is bigger.

If Floyd fights Danny freakin Garcia next... he loses all credibility.... I don't care how stacked the undercard is... Floyd has no options for May or Sept. besides Manny... He won't fight thurman because that's not a big enough draw... He could fight Khan and stack the undercard and that might be competitive with cotto-canelo... but that's a boring a fight for the fans where Floyd skates by with another technical decision.... Garcia is even more boring because he won't be able to hit Floyd as much... and he's not going to fight him like Maidana in the first fight... There are no "exciting" fights for Floyd besides Manny.

With Al Haymon getting his fighters 750k and up for glorified sparring sessions, could you imagine the price tag on that card? I can see Broner vs Maidana 2/Matthysse on the undercard as a desperation move to push numbers but star studding a card with Al Haymon will be pricey as ****.

It has me thinking. Now that Shobox "moved" to Saturday nights, the horrible undercard with lackluster match ups on Floyd's latest PPV, and GBP most likely not promoting Mayweathers next event... I'm interested what the undercard will really look like for his next fight.

Floyd Already said that Khan has Garcia and Prescott Problems. Khan is not happening and Thank God.

Ward is a Draw in the Bay Area. He is not a draw elsewhere but people still tune in anyway. He is known throughout the boxing community and some analysts not named Brian Campbell and Dan Rafael have mentioned his name on air. I believe Stephen A Smith's dumb a$$ has mentioned his name before as well, and I believe he has also mentioned Golovkins name too. What I am saying about Jeter is that in the Bay area, when the yankees come to town, he has always been greeted with loud Boos. We don't like the Yankees or Jeter out here. He came to face the Giants back in 2007 and he was massively booed at AT&T Park. I was at those games. As for what would be bigger than Canelo vs Cotto, I have mentioned a few in a previous comment.

I saw the other fights but some of those are unrealistic. If May wont fight Manny what makes you think he will fight GGG. Hopkins is at 175 he isnt coming down to 160 even if said he would. Ward-Golovkin isnt bigger. I'd be surprised if Cotto got in the ring with GGG even if he did still aint bigger. Canelo-GGG maybe down the road. Cotto and Canelo are massive draws and would do good numbers. Its an all action packed fight and with Mexico/PR rivalry its hard to match.

That is true but that being said Garcia has Herrera problems then.

But the words Garcia has herrera problems have not been uttered out of the mouth of Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather has said Pacquiao has Marquez Problems, And that Khan has Garcia and Prescott problems.

I think Cotto gets knocked out by Canelo early. No war, The fight ends early.

Maybe not the 2nd biggest fight, but definitely the 2nd biggest possible fight.

That said, then get the damn fight done Oscar!
I still don't know why the fight wasn't made this December.
