Cotto Will Put Golden Boy Out Of Business If He Fights Canelo

[North Star]

In all sports, preparation, conditioning and game plan all need to come together to have greater odds of victory. If you really follow the sport of boxing, read the interviews and just pay attention to what's going on in general, you would understand why and how Cotto lost to Trout. During that time, Cotto was attached to Pedro Diaz, the Cuban amateur boxing coach. He had Cotto fighting in a style unorthodox to Cotto's strengths and original style throughout his career. He had some success against Floyd, but that may be due more to Floyd slipping than the Cotto/Diaz relationship. Regardless of what was shown on 24/7, Diaz and Cotto did not mesh well. Cotto was still trying to find that fire of old and Diaz was not the trainer to bring it out of him. Nor was his old strength and conditioning coach Phil (Landman? can't recall) the proper fit. Cotto was coming into fights in shape, but not conditioned to last 12 hard rounds effectively. This rocky relationship, the training camp in Big Bear, the move from high altitude to sea level weeks before the fight were all BAD instructions by Diaz. It started to seem like Diaz was just in it for the payday and not really guiding Cotto as he should be.

Fast forward to the relationship with Roach, a proven trainer with no room for bull****, and a new proven strength and conditioning coach in Gavin brought Cotto to the level he should have been performing at since he had the falling out with this uncle. Hell, this should have happened about a dozen fights into his pro career. Had Cotto got with Roach early on, he would have gotten the big Oscar payday and passing of the torch, and would have been the face of boxing today.

Canelo fans only like him because he looks like an albino mexican. If he looked normal no one would think he has a chance.

Can this fight be finalized yet? so king snake can take cottos soul to replace the one never given to him at birth

[MrRolltide91]

I doubt it....

[StopCrying...]

Did Canelo even fight Clottey?

DUCKED him. Funny when peasants complain about Cotto not fighting GGG yet but their boy Canelo, who is a naturally bigger guy, wants nothing to do with GGG. Flag- Bias is everything.

The only demands we've heard are from Canelo... He wants in Vegas or Texas only. It can only be in May and he has to get 50/50. Where exactly does that equal Cotto being a diva? Cotto's fought 3 of his biggest fights on the other guys home field (Margarito, Manny and Mayweather.) How about Canelo leave for a change considering he never has fought an away game?

As for Cotto being hurt... Seriously is this the best you've guys got? Canelo was hurt against a 147 pounder in Cotto's brother. At least Cotto got hurt by an elite fighter after going 12 hard rounds. Also, aren't you same clowns saying Floyd shouldn't be taking credit for JMM's KO of Manny... apparently it's okay for Canelo to take credit for Floyd's good punches though?

As for the compubox numbers, all you need to do is watch the fight. Pointing to the compubox is like saying compare their scorecards. Neither one does anyone justice. Cotto made Floyd would for 12 rounds and Cotto was actually trying to win. Canelo was trying to get countered and not get hit, that was the reason for the difference in performance. One is actually an A level fighter the other is just a pretty boy given the golden spoon to stardom.

LOL only Canelo, sure. Well if it's in Vegas, Cotto deserves more of the pie in my opinion. I never denied that. Only home field was Mayweather, the other guys are from different countries fighting in the states. Yes Cotto is being a diva, I know you nuthug him to the max and you turn a blind eye towards him but you have to be fair. I'm also not denying Canelo is being a diva as well.

Cotto got hurt by Torres who isn't elite so let's cut the bullshit son! I think Corely hurt him as well.

Canelo vs Mayweather was a nice chess match for the first 6 rounds till Floyd started to move a lot more. On top of that, Canelo is a good style that suits Floyd while Cotto is a nice style to beat Floyd, that is why I even think Floyd ducked Cotto in his prime.

Golden spoon...seriously? Cotto was fed with that spoon too! Dude takes a ton of tune ups before an actual fight. Trout was a tune up gone wrong. Damn fan boys!

Change the flag that Cotto represents and let's see how you nationalistic nuthuggers change your tune.
