Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: One Minor Hurdle Remains For Cotto-Canelo

[Beater_of_ass]

So Oscar and Canelo want the rematch because they know they are losing.

Cotto isn't going to guarantee them one because he could fight Floyd for #50.

Just take the fight without the rematch clause Oscar, you're going to duck GGG anyway.

Seems so. What if it's a blowout, though? Who would want a rematch.

That's the beauty of cotto vs canelo. It's a even match. Either guy could win and its guaranteed fireworks.

Please, the only reason he did a rematch with Margacheato is after Pacquiao did permanent damage to his eye.
Once Canelo taxes that ass and KO's Cotto he won't want a rematch.

My guess is ODH wants to keep Canelo open so he can fight Floyd in#50 should he win. Seems logical and the smart business move.

Neither guy is getting a Floyd fight. Haymon and Jay Z have beef from way back and will never work together and Golden Boy is currently suing Haymon so no way they make a deal for a Canelo rematch during that ordeal, which could take years to settle. Well after Floyd is done fighting.

I think it is fascinating that a fight between two of Floyd Mayweather's former cherry picks (one who haters claimed was over the hill and the other who they claim was too green and drained) is now a highly anticipated fight.

Thats a good point but Cotto was indeed looking poor at that point in his career and Canelo was arguably green and probably drained.

Still I personally, see both of those as solid wins for Mayweather and wouldn't call either cherry picks

[Hougigo]

So the winner wouldn't have to fight GGG, just an automatic rematch?

Tom Loeffler says no rematch clause( for Cotto-Canelo) will be accepted by GGG in regards to their position in the WBC... #boxing

[Nightfall]

broner and alvared are two of the dumbest active fighters today. no way alavred beats cotto. he's not smart enough.
