What makes Cotto the A-side vs Canelo?

[Rostov Papa]

I completely agree, only ignorant Canelo haters compare the Lara fight to the Floyd fight. What Floyd did was box the **** out of Canelo. What Lara did, albeit making it a competitive fight, was throw 1 2's and run outta there. Lara ran to a loss while Canelo digged down for a win. I had the fight 115-113 Canelo.

Well said... "Cuban style, doe"!

Lol that was a disgrace to real Cuban style.

There are two Mexican-schools of boxing: 1.) The inside technician, sometimes throws caution and defense to the wind; but make no mistake - has very good inside technique. EX: JCC Sr. And even guys like Rios, and Margarito have very underrated inside technique. and, 2.) The classical, rhythmic, boxer-puncher/well-rounded in all areas, and can counter-punch beautifully in combinations. EX: Sanchez, Finito, Marquez, MAB, Morales.

I can't quite put my finger on Canelo's style. He's sort of a classical boxer puncher, and fits more in the second school of Mexican pugilism. He's a much better boxer that sometimes credited, and has pretty good defensive posture.

But in this fight, he utilized more of the type 1 school of Mexican boxing - he dug deep, worked, and weaved his way on the inside, and dug deep to the body.

Yes - yes Canelo did win that fight. O rlly? Lemme double-check/fact-check/google for confirmation... *Googling...*

Yup - Canelo won! Split decision scores: 113-115 (Lara); 115-113, and 117-111 (Canelo). This expert had it 116-112 Canelo.

That's all! Thanks! and NEEXXXTTT!!!

Don't use the judges scorecards. It's up to people's opinions. You wouldn't argue that Bradley truly beat Pacquiao or Williams "drew" Lara?

^THISSS. Exactly. wtf is canelo supposed to sit around and wait for jotto to sign the contract while he's negotiation with mayweather. What happens if may vs cotto 2 happens? Canelo left out to dry? whos the real diva here....

where are you geniuses getting this information? he's trying to cut a deal with floyd? how much of a ****tard do you have to be to make **** up in order for it to align with your agenda?

floyd's boss, les moonves, the president of CBS, the guy who cuts floyd his god damn checks has had a hand in making manny v. floyd happen.

there is no other fight that has gotten that kind of attention from the ****ING CEO Of the media company that's trying to secure the fight.

i can't wait to hear the excuse you cretins will come up with after floyd and manny gets made.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Floyd A+ with the right opponent, otherwise A
Pac A-

Cotto B
Canelo B-


1st and 2nd best fight in boxing haven't been made due to clash of diva egos. Shame!!

[-PBP-]

Because he sells more and doesn't need to fight again if he doesn't want to.

"Sergio Martinez’s middleweight title defense against Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden generated between 300,000 and 315,000 pay-per-view buys"(http://www.si.com/boxing/2014/06/25/...z-pay-per-view).

Those numbers suck, plain and simple.

you're the real fckng idiot. Read the comments dip****!! its cotto fans that are saying "how is he ducking when hes negotiation with may?!" "oh so wanting to fight the best P4P fighter is ducking now?" "I wouldn't mind seeing cotto cash out" "fighthype is reporting cotto vs may" now STFU and get off my nuts b1tch.

Then wtf is cotto doing? what the fck is the posturing for? explain all mighty great poster? what the fck is the difference if may vs pac gets made? There have thousands of fights with rescheduled dates. Now carry on fck boy. your boyfriend Jotto didnt want to get beat down in front of his family and bro, who also got beat down.

[StopCrying...]

Cantnelo needs to focus on GGG. Stop using little Miguel as a cover for ducking GGG. Canelo fans are quiet when it comes to GGG.

I want him to face GGG.

[panyck]

The fact he is the MW champ is really the only thing he has on Canelo.

They both had huge numbers against Floyd with Nelo edging him. Both of their last PPV were about the same. 300K.
It was a good even fight and should have been made. Cotto and his diva ways killed this fight.
