Comments Thread For: Cotto Begins Trip on 12/7 To Start Training With Roach

That's the fight that needs to be made.. Winner should fight Triple G..

If the oppertunity to fight Floyd again gets offered, that's the fight you have to take. Beating Floyd will mean more than beating Canelo.

Understatement. If he bets mayelweather he immediately ascends from mere mortal to god status. All cotto gets from beating Canelo is +-10mil. Which do u think cottos ego is gonna take?(not directed at you but to everyone).

[Don Pichardo]

Cotto vs Canelo is the one I want. If Cotto and Floyd fight again, it pretty much means that Floyd doesn't not want anything to do with PAC since he is choosing the less lucrative option

He can fight cotto in may and pac in September and make 150mill next year. So I don't think scared is the issue. If he never fights pac the. He is scared. Floyd wil not pass that up. Pacquiao hasn't been devastating in years. I believe they will fight. Most likely in his 50th fight so be can pocket the 100 mill without having to pay showtime or hbo. Watch.

Roach is just wasting time right now. He knows Cotto isn't beating any Canelo or GGG. People read way too much into that Sergio fight. While Cotto looked good, Sergio was shot. Roach will try for Cotto/Floyd 2 at JMW or a catchweight for a MW fight. Cotto still won't beat Floyd but at least he won't take a beating and get KOed like he would against GGG and Canelo. Cotto has nowhere to go at MW, because he isn't beating any of the top guys there.

Fight the p4p king or settle for pesos. Be real, this match up takes precedence over a GGG or Canelo clash if you're Cotto. Besides those guys aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

You have to feel good about Migs chances this time around.. he's catching Floyd on his last legs. Of course this is all just speculation until Oscar or Bob can verify whether or not a Canelo fight has been signed.

i believe cotto has a network contract with hbo...
de la hoya stated this yesterday and penagaricano said the same weeks ago..

"No jamás, porque Cotto está con HBO, tiene contrato con HBO y Mayweather tiene contrato con Showtime. Eso sería imposible, la pelea que se tiene que dar es Canelo-Cotto", respondió el ex boxeador miembro del Salón de la Fama. "Los dos están con HBO y es la pelea que todo el mundo quiere ver, es la pelea que se tiene que hacer".

C'mon Freddie, stick to the plan, Canelo vs Cotto on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Well matched fight that I'd favor Cotto and his technical superiority over a game Canelo. Only one fight is bigger than that and we all know it'll never happen.

No one is really sure who or if Cotto is bound to anyone. Roach just said Cotto is really good about that stuff and he can fight who he wants. I'll believe Roach over Oscar that's for sure.

what about penagaricano?
he should know better than roach...hell prob better than cotto himself...

[Joe Beamish]

Floyd's timing (along with his usual tactics) is something Cotto can never solve. He's too robotic. I don't want to see that rematch. Floyd laughs all day against Cotto. Bring on Thurman or Pac. Neither of which could beat him, but at least it ain't Cotto again.
