Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Can Eclipse Mayweather, Pacquiao

I don't think anyone will ever beat Floyd in terms of popularity/stardom/notoriety/whatever. Mayweather made close to Mike Tyson's career earnings in one night. I don't see that happening ever again, but here's to the future

You might be right, but I doubt it. More Mexicans than Puerto Ricans for one, but Verdejo has problems. The odds are stacking against him. Bad hands and he's still in the development stage. What happens when he fights a guy who won't go away and punches back?

I know he needs to prove himself first but i can say IF he keep winning to the best opponents available he will bigger star than Canelo and even Cotto itself.

Canelo, the king of the I'm a ***** and I don't want to face GGG yet division."

How can you become great when you are scared to even fight the MW champ.

Greats don't vacate belts to duck tough challenges.

Oh sweet Oscar. In the words of Murray Ballstein (Balls Models--Zoolander)-- He's a simpleton that never hurt a fly.
