Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Cotto-Canelo Could Be Finalized This Week

[alexander28]

Haymon advocate spotted. This is the best matchup in boxing right now, and Cotto is far from a strong favorite. I think you can make a case for 50/50 odds, and I personally believe you'll be eating crow when Canelo wins.

I think you meant to say you will be eating worms when your overrated kid get KO'ed by the WBC WMW Champion King Cotto.

CaneloCotto COULD be finalized this week? In boxing language, "this week", translates to 2-3 weeks.

...thats if Cotto doesnt duck



...yet again

This is utterly ridiculous this fight is taking this long to make. I like Cotto but he is being RIDICULOUSLY difficult to deal with.

I now believe when Sergio was saying he was impossible to negotiate with, and being a DIVA!!!

This fight was reported agreed on 2 weeks ago, and they were just trying to decide on which Vegas location was getting it, and than Cotto stalled negotiations again because he came back with wanting it in NY.

Vegas is where this fight should take place, it is the most neutral location possible. Both fighters have had big fights there on plenty of occasions.

I don't blame Canelo for not wanting to fight in NY, or Cotto for not wanting to fight in Texas.

Vegas also makes more sense because both fighters will make more money in Vegas die to the high taxes in NY and no tax in Vegas.

I don't wanna hear anymore about how close this fight is to being made. I started having a bad feeling that this was gonna end with this fight not happening as soon as Cotto started demanding NY again!!

This fight is finalized, so is Floyd vs Berto.

The only reason neither is announced is because there both waiting for each other to officially announce there fight dates, so it doesn't screw up there own dates and venues.
