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

[Sheppirino]

Seems like a minor hurdle to take care of. Let's get it done and get this fight going. Cotto will have his moments but I got Canelo by KO. It will be a good one regardless.

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.

To be fair
The cotto may faught was destroyed by margs and pac and looked finished
Now he seems like a rejuvenated world beater everyone thought May was avoiding

The canelo may faught was rushed a bit quick and a bit drained
A mw canelo wont be drained and has abit more experience under him now
2 completly diff fighters he faced

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

That's the thing we don't know

What if we get a controversial decision?


Doesn't most fights have rematch clauses?

Yup, except this belt is tied to a mandatory... so they gotta deal with that

Pure racism...

They probably gon put in the contract if they get a competitive rematch, a controversial decision or a draw


There will be a automatic rematch.

To make a fight the following people must approve:

Promoter
Manager
Network
Sanctioning Body
State Commission
Wife
Neighbor
Dog

Worst than politics, dems vs reps to agree on something.

The rematch claus doesn't mean there has to be a rematch, only that there is an option for one.

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.

Jay-Z was at the Floyd fight... he gave Floyd/Haymon money because he hates them? And Jay-Z is to RocNation what he was to the Nets, a minority owner who was there for media and marketing. He has no say over in that company, they'll do business with Cotto if it makes sense. And the Watson pop already commented saying they would work with RocNation and Steven A Smith said Cotto if he beats Canelo could fight Floyd. I'm not saying any of this will happen but the Jay-Z/Haymon thing is a non-issue at this point.

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

GGG still thinks he runs people's careers? What are they telling this poor guy?
