Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Canelo Needs The Miguel Cotto Fight

[Bardock]

Lol yeah he needs it like he needs a whole in his head. To hear all the people after call Cotto washed up and call this. Cherry picked fight for Canelo.

**** this fight. He's going to win and not get a drop of credit for it. Fact.

Bring on GGG. That's the fight he "needs."

This Cotto fight is a cash grab for both fighters that is highly intriguing to the untrained eye.

^^^THIS. Canelo is going to wreck cotto, bad.

are you kidding??
canelo had to chase lara the entire fight... running behind the marathon runner aint no easy task... i will give you that for the angulo fight, but not the lara fight, that tested canelos stamina specially in the last round...

That was because of Canelo's inability to cut off the ring. I'll admit he had some success in that department, but it's not like he was stalking him the entire fight...he simply trudged forward and recomposed whenever his target moved.

Head of a boxing sanctioning organization sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, when the 2 parties are in the midst of negotiations. Seems kinda wacky to me. I could see the guy making the comments after it's signed, but not during or before.

Just like Pac/Floyd, this fight ain't happening.

[Mick Higgs]

And there's me thinking the WBC had made GGG interim champ, thus #1 contender to Cotto!

[PR ESQ.]

one quasi notable win.. ah yep, indeed he needs Cotto to begin his steps toward some legitmacy!

Cotto v. Lee June NYC!
Money v. Pac Cinco De Maywheater!

I'm not here to discuss Cotto status, It's crystal clear that Cotto's historical status will be a hell better than Lara, but if he were to fight Lara, Lara would outbox the **** out of him.

Cotto is a hall of famer no doubt about it, I don't see Lara being a Hall of Famer by anymeans, but Lara is a more skilled and dangerous boxer than Cotto right now.

Ask yourself this question, Why Canelo is looking so desperate to fight Cotto?.......Canelo is gonna look spectacular if he fights Cotto, mark my words.

Because no one else gives him the payday or the credit to his career that a Cotto fight would. The problem for Canelo is he won't win and beating Canelo does nothing for Cotto's legacy. He's just going to be a hype-job with casual appeal. Look at all these Canelo fans lifting up that Lara win as if it was something special. He didn't even win the fight, he got the decision but he landed 1 quality punch in 12 rounds.

2me Alvarez still under the wbc protective umbrella from when he was " given" the belt vs a WW...Cacn't c hom lisng as Cotto'll b righr in front of him...all about styles...

Did you just compare Lara to COTTO lmaooo stay off the beers COTTO is a hall of gamer 4 division 5 time champ fought the best of his era Lara fought pwill and Canelo that's it never held a real belt never beat a top fighter please stop it

Lara is still better skilled than cotto. Didn't cotto and roach say they didn't want any of lara if he were to beat canelo last year? Haha

Lara is not better skilled than Cotto wtf... if it wasn't for Angulo quitting Lara would have lost that fight. Doing damage or not, Angulo did better against Lara than Canelo did and Angulo is a D class fighter. He's a poor version of Margarito and Lara went life and death with him. Lara is taller and uses range and runs, that is not more skillful lol.
