canela alvared vs clottey may 2nd

He'll still fight on regular HBO on Cinco De Mayo weekend even if the Cotto PPV falls through.

I wonder what this will do to Canelo's elephant sized ego? When more people will pay $80 to watch Mayweather-Cotto II on PPV than will watch Canelo "The Mexican" on free HBO.

He will and if it's Cotto he will beat the hell out of Cotto. Bookmark it.

Yup, I got Cotto in that fight too.


The Cotto/Roach/MacMillan train is unstoppable.

If you wanna get technical, against Castillo floyd won 2 bouts in the books , but it's really. 1-1 so floyd will forever have Castillo problems

He won't give a shyt, he's going to be fighting on the Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence weekends for the next 5-10 years.

That's not an encouraging headline for Canelo. If he isn't fighting Cotto, Pacquiao, or Golovkin on that date, he'll be on regular HBO that night for the sole purpose of driving away PPV buys from Showtime. From a badass to a pawn.

I don't have a problem with Canelo, but his ego has grown exponentially for seemingly no reason. This guy hasn't earned a damn thing in boxing. He's been handed everything. Now he thinks he can keep taking things he hasn't earned. He's in for a rude awakening. If Mayweather-Pacquiao doesn't go down, I hope Mayweather-Cotto II does. So we can all laugh at that tough guy Canelo.

"I'm taking the Mexican dates because I'm Mexican". Who is this guy?

I'm sure you're only mad because you want your father Floyd to be able to fight Khan/Alexander on that date and not have to worry about Canelo stealing his shine... Canelo on regular HBO against anyone is still a better investment than Floyd v. Khan/Alexander...

Negotiations must not be going good.

Well if you want to go that far, dozens of boxers fight on Cinco de Mayo every year. I don't think that's what Canelo or his fans had in mind when he mentioned "taking back" the Mexican dates. In Canelo's mind, it meant being the prime main event on that "holiday" weeked. Not fighting Joshua Clottey on regular HBO while the rest of the world pays attention to the guy that made Canelo cry (Mayweather) and the guy Canelo wanted to fight (Cotto).

With that said, I still think Cotto-Canelo happens, but it will be sweet if Canelo gets his shit fed back to him. You gotta earn it in this sport.

Of course not, Canelo's demanding 50/50. He's literally pricing himself out.

If this diva **** is so set on Mexican this and that then go fight in Mexico for Mexican currency on a Mexican tv network then you ****ing ****! Americans should fight in America on American tv networks for American currency not Mexicans if you want to be like that Canelo you diva **** !!! Canelo needs to take a page from all the better foreign fighters and learn his ****ing role. Marquez doesn't say dumb **** like this. Canelo is such a piece of ****. Who the **** has he beat of substance without the win being disputed? Hell the **** is trying to make 155lbs a new weight class "peeleft:... either move to 160 or fight at 154 you ****. I've never seen someone so bitter after getting completely outclassed... the best part is that a record # of people paid to see him get owned that badly. This one's for you Canelo
