Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Says 'No Rush' on Cotto-Canelo Deal

[Bronx2245]

Oscar is in a bad spot. If Mayweather vs. Pacquiao gets signed, there's a chance there will be an agreement between HBO and SHO, which means no Cotto vs. Canelo on Cinco De Mayo (not to mention Roach can't be with Cotto and Manny). If Mayweather vs. Pacquiao doesn't get done, there's a chance Mayweather vs. Cotto 2 gets done, and Canelo is ass-out. Oscar needs to start talking to GGG's people for a Plan B!

Roach should have time to train both fighters

This is the same clown who refused a rematch with the superior Felix Sturm despite getting hammered in their original fight only to refuse a rematch so I'm not surprised he's ducking putting this fight together. Oscar is a media hyped fraud.

Preach

Hopkins is damn near 50 and other fighters have beaten far better versions of Hopkins including Dawson who Stevenson obliterated.

Stevenson went through the top fighters at light heavy to earn his crown fact.

Kovalev beat boys and girls club staff and AARP Hopkins.

Fonfara has a better resume then him and that's fact, sad but fact.

GGG is not as bad , I followed him since he fought Dirrel coming up but his fan base is straight ******. GGG is the better fighter of the two by a mile but the kid is vastly untested.

This whole thing was a pathetic power play against Floyd and it's backfiring. I would not be surprised if Cotto doesnt fight Canelo. Cotto is definitely not fighting Floyd again , no wwayFloyd goes up that high.

Cotto will defend his belt against a decent contender in NY, and Floyd will finally announce his fight with Khan in the U.K. and it will be massive.

Manny will fight Chris Algeri's cut man for a vacant title and everything will be back to normal.

Don't agree with everything but there's allot of truth in here

Cotton is one of the best Characyers in the history of TV. Gaurenteed laughs Everytime he spoke.

Oscar: "it was a done deal yesterday. Today, there is no rush."

Arum: "Yesterday, I was lying. Today, I am telling the truth."

Does anyone notice any similarities here?

It is obvious to me now that there are no negotiations taking place for a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight and Bob Arum has had no contact with the CEO of CBS Sports. Arum was lying yesterday. Arum is lying today. Arum will lie tomorrow.

What happened to the fighters in Boxing? Now it's all about who gets what in negotiations. I say if the money is right then why all the extra? Both guys still are respected. Cotto been in the game longer so I can understand why he feels like he do because he is a vet who came up in the game but make the damn fight.

Are you serious? You actually don't think egos have anything to do with behavior?

Have you ever been driving down the road and seen a car that is tailgating you change lanes just so that they can cross back over and get directly in front of you? Ego always plays a role, especially when a person has power, regardless of how much or how little power it is.

Except when it's Mayweather huh?

To be fair Cotto does deserve the extra money if he has to travel to Vegas/Texas. Just like I would say the same for Canelo if he has to go to NY/PR. Both like the comfort of their own home.

Ha ha, I see that Cotto's is smart after all. He knows Oscar and Mayweather both needs him to compete for Cinco de Mayo may date. So, Cotto holds the marbles in Delahoya's crap game. Cotto will get bank and bennies from Oscar to please Canelo. You go Cotto.. Two can play this shyt.

What if Pac fights the month after Cotto? You think Roach is going to concentrate more on Cotto to train?

I doubt it

Maybe they should fight 2 months ago apart
