Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Eyes Cotto-Canelo vs. Golovkin-Lemieux

Both are great fights and would love to see not only the winners fight but could match up the losers as well. Losers fight and the winner gets either a rematch or shot against the winners. Make it 4 man playoffs! Everyone makes money and the fans get amazing fights.

Except that Cotto will never face Golovkin. That should be obvious to all by now.

at least canelo will beat cotto and will fight GGG

Canelo would face Golovkin, Cotto wouldn't. Do not be misled by Cotto's recent wins (a shot Martinez, an unknown in Rodriguez, and a weight-drained Geale). This is the same Cotto that lost to Margarito, Pac, Mayweather, and Trout. Canelo via TKO 10th or 11th.

I'm not sure who wins between Canelo/Cotto, but I don't doubt that if Canelo wins he'll fight GGG. People were saying the same thing about Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara and he fought both of them.

Canelo is young but he's already thinking about legacy and you can tell he's striving for greatness. Not sure if he'll do it, but I respect that he's reaching for it.

you clown canelo will beat cotto and he will fight ggg because he has real balls like a real mexican.do you have the attention span of a 2 year old?let me remind you that canelo fought trout and lara two guys everybody was saying canelo would never fight.war canelo

exactly I just posted the same thing lol btw that idiot is a troll.

GGG will be in the mix but Diva Cotto and Alvarez will play catchweight games with GGG, especially Cotto. Cotto will avoid GGG so Im hoping Canelo wins. Fight needs to be at 160 or close to it because it the ****en middleweight title. These catchweights are making a mockery of what titles stand for.

i wonder if gbp will be able to wrangle a gimme fight for canelo after he beats cotto (if he beats cotto). it's a tough schedule to go directly from cotto to golovkin within a few months

Canelo will win this

I'm certain Canelo will KO Cotto, should be fine Cotto was getting absolutely fooled about with Austin Trout and the only guy to ever make Canelo look bad was the P4P 1 fighter in the world and Cotto certainly isn't anywhere near as good he is going to get hit and he will take a knee and quit.

Cant wait for the morning after the fight to see where you will be hiding after Cotto stops CaneLOL.

What the excuses will be?

Golovkin KO's Cotto and Canelo on the same night.



IF Canelo actually takes the fight- wow, man. Props to that young gun. That boy WANTS greatness.


We all know Cotto will not take the fight so lets all pray that Canelo wins.

You mean you will be crying in your pillow as there will be no decent Puerto Rican fighters left once Canelo smashes him to bit worse than pappy Margarito did.

What is it that people here have such a difficulty understanding? GGG IS THE MANDATORY DEFENSE AND THERE CAN BE NO CONDITIONS SUCH AS CATCHWEIGHTS IN A MANDATORY DEFENSE.

Refusing to fight a mandatory due to the challenger refusing a catchweight is the same as refusing to fight and will result in the champion being stripped of his title. THERE WILL BE NO CATCHWEIGHT in either a Cotto or Canelo vs Golovkin fight. A catchweight clause cannot be used to negotiate the purse split or any other aspect of the fight.

Yes there can

but you're right that if the WBC doesn't recognize catchweights (which I believe they said they won't in this instance) they will strip Cotto if he doesn't fight Golovkin regardless of catchweight

But the thing is, that Golovkin wants the Cotto fight and they MIGHT accept the catchweight for the payday and potential buzz he gets for beating Cotto

Furthermore, Cotto has said that he doesn't want to vacate should he beat Canelo. If this is true, and Golovkins team refuses the catchweight, then Cotto will likey have to fight Golovkin at 160

You do realize that win was over 8 years ago now right lol. High School Rob Lowe's in full force.

Did they sign the Cotto-Canelo fight? No, they didn't...
So wait until they sign it... or more: wait until you see them entering the same ring.

[-DSG-]

Cotto is going to beat Canelo easy I'll bet everything on it!
