Al Haymon trying to get Cotto-Mayweather 2

[Weebler I]

If I wanted to give you a laugh - I'd hand you a mirror.

As much as it might put your panties in a bunch, Golovtard, Cotto is the one and ONLY legitimate champion @ 160. And Yes, I can see Cotto beating the Triple Duck...

But I didn't ask you if you could see Cotto beating GGG, I asked you if you were picking Cotto. The fact even you couldn't say you were tells me all I need to know.

You're not alone, hardly anyone would pick Cotto which only serves to highlight the flaw in placing undue weight on the archaic lineal system, it doesn't reflect reality of who is the best in the MW division or indeed in a multitude of other divisions.

SAN JUAN -- Aquí no pasará lo mismo que con Manny Pacquiao y Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto y Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez le darán al público, el combate que ellos quieren ver.
El acuerdo económico y otros aspectos importantes dentro de la negociación del pronosticado mega combate entre el campeón puertorriqueño y el peleador mexicano fueron parte de los elementos dialogados en los últimos días entre las partes de cara al choque que podría cobrar vida el 2 de mayo de 2015, muy posiblemente en Dallas, Texas.
Así lo dio a conocer el asesor legal de Cotto, el licenciado Gabriel Peñagarícano, persona que está al frente de estas conversaciones junto al cuatro veces campeón divisional y el presidente de Top Rank, Todd DuBoef.

That's cool and good news. Along the same lines there is another article where they state that nothing is concrete and they are open to other options:

El futuro de Miguel Cotto no ha quedado ligado a ningún peleador en especial, pues aunque mucho se ha hablado de la pelea ante el mexicano Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez para el 2 de mayo de 2015, la posibilidad de que el tetracampeón mundial boricua se enfrente a Floyd Mayweather Jr. en una revancha, parece aún latente.

Cotto & Mayweather
Al Bello /Getty Images SportMiguel Cotto no descartaría otro combate con Floyd Mayweather Jr., auqnue no le dice no al 'Canelo' Álvarez.
Un fuente reveló a ESPNDeportes.com que 'Money' Mayweather no pretende perder la fecha del fin de semana del 5 de mayo tan fácil ante 'Canelo'. Que el plan "A" de Floyd y su asesor Al Haymon es quitarles a Cotto, y si no se puede, podría pelear una semana antes.

Este jueves, Gaby Peñagarícano, asesor del ex campeón mundial superligero, welter y superwelter, así como actual monarca de peso medio, Miguel Cotto, comentó que aún no se ha cerrado nada y que el rumbo del futuro de 'Junito' se definirá en las próximas semanas.

"Aún hay posibilidades de cualquier oponente", dijo Peñagarícano en un mensaje electrónico. Y es que la gama de posibilidades de Cotto luego de haber vencido a Sergio 'Maravilla' Martínez es amplia y no sería la primera vez que dice no a 'Canelo', pese a que ahora las condiciones parecen inmejorables.

Óscar de la Hoya dijo hace unas semanas que no hay pelea más grande en el mundo boxístico que 'Canelo'-Cotto, echando a un lado la pelea entre Mayweather y Pacquiao, pero quizá no contó con que Floyd sigue pensando en que Miguel es una buena opción, y puede ser quien le ayude a competir en esta desatada guerra entre promotoras, ahora entre Golden Boy Promotions y Mayweather Promotions.

Man, I was hoping the Texas rumors weren't true, but Peñagarícano seems like a pretty reliable source. I hope Cotto gets payed well for getting dragged to that ****ty craphole.

brand new image of cotto in his new pool.

lol.. canelo told em "these dates are mine, i aint movin"

[Lords]

Freddy said if he was training Cotto he would have won so I would love to see how the game plan would go. They will for sure take this fight if an offer is made because beating Floyd would solidify Cotto as an ATG and Freddy would love nothing more than to beat Floyd and shut him up.

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

your whole argument is false..it's based on your own distorted view of boxing being a floyd vs pac fight.. let me clarify something for you...floyd has lineal titles in 4 weight classes and 5 wbc titles ( most in history).

floyd had a legacy before pac came on the scene in 2008. floyd's legacy is to retire undefeated winning 6 titles (5 lineal) in 6 weight classes the first fighter to win titles from 130-160 undefeated against legit champions at the weight. that carries far more wight than a pac fight since pac has no legacy at 147-154 or 160.

pac is not competing against the best right now cotto is so floyd should jump on this chance to solidify his legacy with a fight against cotto who is also a legit 4 weight world champion himself.

the pac hype train is over..pac is fighting rios, algeri, and vargas he is finished as a fighter at the weight classes floyd competes at.

Cotto put himself in great position.

Definitely. He's not the fighter he used to be but he's still a big draw. I rather see cotto/canelo. That fights been brewing for a while. If they don't fight in May the tea will get cold. Get a decent undercard (or don't, most people will tune in anyways) & take my 70 dollars.

[Beater_of_ass]

Well, first of all, its on Cinco de Mayo. Mexican fans would probably prefer Mexican style. Second, GGG is riping for big PPV. His first ever PPV can be a smashing hit by may of next year. Support from Mexican fans he gets is unreal.

So you think Mexicans are going to buy a PPV with Canelo over Floyd/Cotto 2 because GGG has a Mexican style? So does Cotto he's just as entertaining as GGG is and he actually speaks spanish and is a DRAW. I like GGG as much as the next guy but you must be on crack thinking him with Canelo get more buys than Floyd/Cotto.

[Beater_of_ass]

again is top rank negotiating cotto-canelo, dont think that they will bring floyd to the table when it comes to negotiations, maybe cotto wants it but thats a different story, even penagaricano already said they dont give a damn about floyd...

I'm sure they don't, but that fat check he brings will be bigger than what Canelo, HBO, TR, or Golden Boy can offer. Cotto/Canelo is maybe... 1 million buys, it's close and think it can reach it. But Floyd/Cotto 2 would do just as much as the first fight did at 1.5 million there's too much draw power from Floyd to match anything he offers. Besides, he could offer the same amount of money and Cotto would still take Floyd. Another loss, as long as he looks good really doesn't hurt his image, a loss to Canelo would. It's like the Sergio Martinez fight when Cotto picked him, he got less money but went for legacy, to some guys that matters just as much as the money. Canelo is young, that fight will be available for some time.
