Comments Thread For: Marquez: Canelo Must Give in To Cotto's Demands

[IMDAZED]

Marquez is right and if you put bias aside, it's plain to see. Cotto has paid his dues and although Alvarez was part of "The One," his performance led to his stock dropping sharply among casuals. Cotto, on the other hand, is hot (again). I think an agreement will get made but Canelo will have to give in a tad at the negotiating table. I think the date will dictate where the fight takes place but Cotto will likely get the bigger share and his choice of weight.

You boys are lacking in verbal reasoning skills. Canelo clearly said in the above article that it is Cotto demanding the fight at a catchweight of 155lb's along with 50% of the revenue.

"Canelo wants the fight weight to fall at 155 pounds, which shouldn't be a problem since Cotto weighed only 155 pounds when he captured the title from Sergio Martinez"


"I want to stay at junior middleweight, if the fight with Cotto is done it will be for the middleweight championship, but it would be agreed upon for 155 pounds"

I really get tired on Marquez trying to talk about everyone's business as though he's such an authority. Maybe he should suggest to both Canelo & Cotto it's wise to drink your own pee.

iam going to write this again in big letters HE IS A BOXING ANALYST FOR ESPN HE IS ONE OF THE HOST FOR A BOXING SHOW THEY TALK ABOUT BOXING

lol you're such a moron, he's on an ESPN show called Golpe a Golpe where they strictly talk about boxing. Is he suppose to be discussing impressionist art and 17th century philosophy instead?

i think the catchweight thing is hilarious. canelo wants a catchweight, when he's the bigger guy. seems like he's using a little foresight so that he doesn't have to defend against ggg. i don't blame him. they'd both get extinguished.

oh yeah Canelo is fighting at 155 because he is afraid of GGG
nsb logic

What about a 5th fight with Pacquiao?

[Beercules]

Is anyone going to tell Canelo that he's technically a middleweight or what?

What's the deal with this 155 stuff? Why not at 160 for the belt?

I agree with team Canelo why do MSG (20,000) , when Cowboy stadium can do 3 time that?

Canelo should be happy to even have this opportunity to face a legend like Cotto. He should come to the weigh in with a clown nose on, if Cotto requested it. He's giving him this pay-check.

Because Miguel Cotto has been selling out MSG since Kobe was winning championships.
