    Had Floyd fought anyone else and Canelo vs Cotto happened he would have had the date, and moving forward Canelo is gonna look to fight Cotto and GGG who is Floyd gonna fight after Manny to draw the same interest?

    Canelo has nothing to lose doing this
    Here's an example of a biased fan who will believe whatever he wants to believe, truth be damned.

    Let me clear up some misconceptions:
    Canelo ducked Cotto. When you bail in the middle of negotiations to take another fight no one was calling for, you are ducking the guy you were negotiating with.

    If Floyd wants September, he'll take September. Cotto would fight Mayweather over Canelo without a second thought. Who's Canelo gonna fight? GGG? He must want to lose any semblance of credibility he has remaining.

      Dude was emotional about getting schooled by Cotto so he pounded his fist and signed to fight Kirkland. The hilarious part is that the peasants think this was a gangsta move on Canelo's part.


      I think Canelo needs to rematch Cotto's brother actually.

            Maybe you are new to this sport but...Aging fighter often go into "business mode" after years of putting their hand to the fire. I believe they call is, "cashing out?"

            Make no mistake, so is Canelo with his "deadlines..." Cotto had a reason in wanting to fight Floyd. Good money and a chance at redemption. A fighter with pride will often want another go at a fighter who beat him. Tito wanted Hopkins and pursued him for years regardless and Cotto would LOVE to rematch Floyd and Pac regardless. Canelo is 23, Cotto knows Canelo is going to be around for the next few years. It was Canelo overcome with his interesting little supriority/inferiority trip, wanted to SHOW that arrogant Rican, who was the boss. So now you get Canelo V Kirkland. Canelo really showed Cotto eh?

                GGG is a high risk LOW $$$ fight for Cotto.

                    Perhaps. We shall see...You may get your wish as I can see Cotto fighting GGG but somehow can't see Canelo leaving the safety of 155.
