Cotto vs Canelo: 12 Sept 2015 According to rumors!

[PeasantCrusha]

The last time Cotto fought after a 3 month break was back in 2008 when he fought and lost to Margarito after beating Gomez. That's SEVEN years ago. Since 2010, Cotto has not had less than a 6 month break between fights. I cannot see him fighting a major opponent in September.

The last time Golovkin fought an A class fighter was never.

Hopefully Cotto takes care of business on Saturday! I can't wait for this fight

The video indicates that they (Canelo's team) don't want anything to do with 160lb and they will only go up when they feel that they are ready.

(Google Translate):


The duel between the Mexican Canelo Alvarez and Miguel Cotto looks more forward than they have at least revealed both the extent that it has been rumored that there is agreement at least in words to fight Sept. 12 at the Barclays Center Brooklyn , New York.

September 12th makes no sense because 1)The PPV distributors are going to go with Floyd Mayweather Jr and 2)HBO isn't going to put up the ~$10m likely needed to make the number work for putting the fight on regular HBO.

The moment Floyd announces his fight (which is said to happen with the next three weeks), the date gets moved.

Does Canelo travel to Barclays Center, in November or so, for the short end of the event purse? we will see.

They would be leaving a lot of money on the table not making this fight in Vegas but hopefully we get an announcement soon after this weekend for September. Who cares who Jr. is fighting, nothing would be bigger than this fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr, the sport's biggest star and best fighter, is having his final fight, after a near 20 year run on top.

There's not a fight on the planet that trumps that right now

The last 4 times that Cotto fought a healthy A Class fighter ... he lost.

Margarito, Mayweather, Paquiao, Trout.
