Did Canelo move too quick?????

[bojangles1987]

Someone didn't want the fight. Whether it's Cotto or Alvarez, I'm not sure.

If Floyd vs Manny does get made, it puts Cotto in a difficult situation, too. He will have no really lucrative options other than Canelo. I'm pretty sure both will want the fight then. GBP will pay Kirkland some step aside money and they will have their PPV.

This ^^^^^^

Didnt DLH say they will push Canelos fight back only if May-Pac was made?

That is exactly what Oscar said.

Well it wasn't the guy who was practically begging for the fight to happen.

[JulianQ]

Why a catchweight, their both middle weight champions

Just being realistic. Cotto is a blown up welterweight so no way he would risk against GGG at full MW. To be fair none of the "A" level welterweights or super welterweight would risk against GGG at 160.

[handwraps]

He can still, and most likely will fight Cotto later this year. But you can't force the guy in the ring, yet you're assuming Cotto is waiting on Floyd-Pac. According to what I know of, that's just NSB speculation? Did Cotto officially say that?

Anyways Canelo Cotto, Canelo Kirkland is the same caliber fight imo. ****, Cotto should fight Kirkland and see how he fairs next.

Just as far as the date was concerned. Canelo was insisting on may 2nd. And, fighting on the same night as pac-may fight is not good business.

[Showtime..]

Canelo is fighting Kirkland so that he can stay $$ before possibly losing a Cotto or GGG fight. If he fought Clottey he would had looked very badly.

cotto/canelo could still fight in june

[JJRod]

Canelo didn't want to fight in June, and Cotto didn't want to fight at all.

WFT are you talking about?
Canelo/Cotto would have to have fought in June if May/Pac gets made. But if it didn't get made, it's ****** not to want to fight on one of boxings biggest dates.

Again he wouldn't have done that.
Had Pacquiao/Mayweather been made, Canelo/Cotto would have moved to June. Oscar said this repeatedly.

Not to mention HBO would co-broadcast with Showtime that night. THey wouldn't put Canelo/Cotto on a separate HBO card and hurt itself.
