Why is Cotto-Canelo being billed as the next "Super fight"? Canelo ain't elite.

It's a great fight because a shot Cotto has a real chance at beating Canelo.

Who claiming it on mayweather pacquaio status? get out the house and stop living in your hater mind.

Its just a great fight to be made with two top level fighters with a huge following and star power.

Good! I rather get credit from true boxing fans than stans any day.

Styles makes fights. Plus the whole Puerto Rico vs Mexico rivalry.

Honestly I haven't ever seen Cotto or Canelo in a "boring" fight.

[bojangles1987]

Cotto/Canelo is a super fight.

May/Pac was super hype that's all it really comes down to and I all I care about.

I see it passing up 1 million because Cotto/Marg I and II got 500 and 600k... Cotto is a bigger star now than when he was for the rematch and Canelo is FAR more the draw than Marg ever was.

They're the 3rd and 4th biggest stars in boxing, in whichever order you think they belong. It's going to sell huge.

Ok I get you

Level 1: Fight -- Fighter A against Fighter B for divisional ranking or title fight
Level 2: A Big Fight -- This could be PPV fight between stars (Cotto/Martinez or any other fight similar to this; Mayweather vs whomever; Pac vs whomever)
Level 3: A Super Fight -- Two PPV Stars going at it (Cotto/Canelo; Trinidad/DLH)
Level 4: Cross-over fight -- A fight that the casuals/hardcores and Skip Bayless are into (Mayweather/Pacquiao)

For those level 2 and 3 fights, I'm calling my friends over and have BBQs and *****. For those level 4 fights, I'm even bring my grandmom to the houseparty

That's a good way to look at it. There's just different levels to it. Not to take anything away from this though. Whether it does 800K PPVs or 1.5 million its a great fight and the atmosphere will be electric wherever it is. This is definitely a fight where you want to be in the arena.

[RED REP]

nope. not even close. Cotto is a battled tested ATG on his way to Hall of Fame. whereas ODH AND Trinida were at their respective primes. So I hate to bust a nut on canelito fans but a Cotto win or loss doesn't do much to add or detract from his legacy...just his bank account!!!

Lol what!!!

A Cotto win wouldn't do good for Canelo's legacy?! Lol **** off!

[bluebeam]

How could cotto/canelo be a super fight when neither Floyd/cotto, Manny/cotto or Floyd/canelo was?

all those fights did over a million ppv's and Floyd/canelo did over 2 million ppv's.


those are 3 of the 10 biggest ppv fights of all time


what are you talking about?
