Comments Thread For: Oscar: Fans Talking Cotto-Canelo More Than Floyd-Manny

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Oscar De La Hoya thinks Miguel Cotto-Canelo Alvarez has supplanted Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao as the fight boxing fans want to see more than any other.

“What I feel, and I think what’s happening now is people are starting to talk not about Pacquiao-Mayweather,” De La Hoya said recently during a question-and-answer session with Alvarez at HBO’s Manhattan headquarters. “They’re now starting to talk about Cotto-Canelo. It’s not the second-best fight to be made. Now it’s becoming the best fight to be made. So something’s happening.”

This is a 50/50 fight. Buyt i'm rooting for kingcotto.

I think Floyd / Manny is still a bigger fight .

Oscar is smoking crack....AGAIN

[ThrowbackBoxing]

Only a Floyd v Pacman fight can compete with this one. DLH is right, it seems that this has a better chance of happening. I'll gladly shell out the cash to watch this at a Cinco de Mayo house party...

I think it's pretty close as far what the fans are talking about more. Floyd-Manny is obviously the bigger fight, but the entire public is fatigued on that match up. That fight should've happened 2009/2010.

I'm all in with Oscar on this one. Canelo/Cotto is the fight I want to see, Pac/May is so overdue it deserves to be on the undercard lol that would be the day!

I agree.......

the only way floyd sells his next ppv is to fight maidana again, but this time:

1. maidana gets to wear his gloves
2. small ring size
3. maidana chooses referee
4. fight in argentina

Floyd just told a reporter all the rumors of him fighting Manny are completely false (big surprise) and that he can fight a couple "duds" if he wants and still sell PPVs.

Why would we be more excited about a fight that clearly isn't happening over Canelo-Cotto?
