Al Haymon trying to get Cotto-Mayweather 2

[bluebeam]

awesome fight..

two legendary fighters of this era one going for his fifth lineal title and 6th consecutive WBC strap the other trying to secure his legacy..

this is the best fight for floyd even better than the pacquiao fight..

that's bull****. pacquiao is obviously a bigger and better fight than a rematch against a guy floyd already beat. everybody said cotto was washed up when Floyd beat him in 2012. now in 2015, it's gon be some great victory. yea right.

as soon as Floyd beats cotto 116-112 again. the first question out of jim gray's mouth is gonna be is pacquiao next?


if floyd never fights cotto again. nobody will care.

if floyd doesn't fight pacquiao, he will be questioned and trolled til the day he dies.

casual and hardcore fans want the two best fighters of the era too fight.
mayweather vs pacquiao.

pacquiao already kicked cotto's ass anyway. why does cotto get the fight instead

[Hougigo]

I'd be surprised if he got more money fighting Mayweather than Canelo since Mayweather is already guaranteed 32 million.

Marco Antonio Rubio #5

That list reads as if it were the cast from the Walking Dead.

golovkin has been defending his title at middleweight for longer than any other champion in the division. that is why he is the real middleweight champion.

so you tell me who is the real champ at 160. His name is Golovkin.

Beating an old Martinez at 159 who got a gift v Murray means you're the real champ doe...jog on

Yeah, it does. In order to BE the Man, you have to BEAT the Man. Cotto BEAT the Man @ 160. That makes Cotto the Man. Golovkin is nothing more than a PAPER titlist...

whats so funny about fans is the inconsistency.

floyd beats an 38 year old mosley coming off of a year layoff and the most impressive win of his career. it doesn't count.

cotto beats an 39 year old Martinez who was coming off of a year layoff, 2 knee surgeries, a broken hand, and the least impressive win of his title reign. and now cotto is the man

Because of bull**** fights like this is why he's going to continue to be that. I eventually want him to move up but not before he gets to the chance to get that title. This fight is only a reason for Floyd fans to jerk off to some supposed legacy enhancing fight. He's too small to fight against legit MW's but because Cotto has the belt, it's okay, even though he already handily beat him. Doesn't matter that it's at a higher weight or that he's under a different trainer, Mayweather always beats Cotto. The second this fight were to get signed, Golovkin has to immediately move up because then there is absolutely no chance he gets to fight for the belt, which is unfortunate when you've been doing as much as you can to get a shot at it. Straight joke.

[Don Pichardo]

Cotto prefers to work with Top Rank, with the exception being Mayweather. You can't even compare a win against Canelo to what it would be like for Cotto to beat Floyd. When Cotto beats Canelo people will say he was overhyped and had his ankle cut off and re-attached right before he entered the ring. Being the first person to beat Floyd will instantly put Cotto in ATG status.

This.

also, anyone who thinks this fight would be anything like the first is not well. Cotto gave may a very tough fight. That's not me talking that's out of moneys own mouth. Cotto now would give him bloody hell. Not saying he would win but I cant say may would absolutely win either. Cotto is now properly trained and in superb shape. Compare round 9 of the may and Martinez fights. Cotto was done with may and with Martinez looked like he could go another 9. Cottos main downfall in may v cotto was his running out of gas. I for 1 am very interested in this fight. Bring it on.

[WombBat]

sigh... aww no

The good thing is Bob controls Cotto, and he most likely wont
want this fight over Canelo-Cotto.

he ran out of gas in the Floyd fight because that was an actual fight. cotto was getting hit in the fight. cotto wasn't getting hit in the Martinez fight.

I hope its at 160 or else im not watching

It doesn't have to be @ 160. Cotto weighed in at 155 vs SM. They can agree to a CW, easily, and have Floyd's 154 titles on the line, with permission. I can see a CW of like 155-157 and Floyd coming in @ 150. Cotto may have a 160 title, but he is not MW.

Canelo-Cotto is the better fight, Mayweather-Cotto is the bigger fight. May-Cotto could potentially have 5 titles on the line: Floyd's 154 Ring, WBC, WBA and Cotto's 160 Ring, WBC titles. Floyd wasn't too happy of doing against Maidana but we'll see if Cotto asks for that in negotiations. He has leverage because if Floyd declines and Cotto decides to say 'Okay **** off, going with Canelo then' Floyd would have to go with Khan/Dev or do the impossible a d have Haymon work with Arum for the Pac fight.

On the other hand, I prefer Canelo-Cotto anyway.
