Comments Thread For: Cotto: If Canelo, De La Hoya Want It - They Have Until December 31

Why would they want it? Cotto was shown to be too small in the last fight. And not nearly as quick as he would need to be to beat Canelo.

I agree on that, Cotto indeed was the smaller fighter, what Roach said was that if there is a rematch, he would train Cotto differently, I do not agree with that, because Cotto would still be smaller and not as mobile as one should be to be able to fight canelo which has fast hands, the only reason here for that fight is that Cotto wants to retire with the most amount of money he can, but it is a a dangerous fight for Cotto, we all know that due to weight difference, Cotto's punches wont have any effect, Canelo might walk over them and score a knockdown if Cotto does not fight smart, still I would prefer a fight a fight with someone his own size, like brook, or some of the LMW or welters.

So Canelo who hasn't fought more than twice a year in years is going to fight Cotto three months after a war with GGG? Something smells fishy man.

What gave you the impression Canelo is fighting ggg?

Cotto v Brook at LMW would be a good fight. I think that they would be able to make the most money by having it in the UK. I think they could probably sell out a Soccer stadium with that fight. In an ideal world I would love for Cotto to fight one of the Charlos for a title in a sort of a "passing the torch type" thing.

Everyone involved wants that fight- except for the fans.

Bad rematch.

Honestly, I like Cotto and believe he can win against Canelo if Canelo doesn't gain the huge weight advantage which is out of the question. I feel that played a huge role in their first fight and gave a huge edge to Canelo. Without the weight advantage and they are on even terms, Miguel is overall the better fighter, without a doubt.

Well as doubt would call it Cotto only outboxed Canelo first 2 maybe 3 rounds. Canelos defense i think surprised Cotto. Canelo's head movement is superb to the point Mayweather Sr. even acknowledged it saying "He's got some of that Mayweather in his defense". Canelo hurt Cotto multiple times to the point Cotto was too afraid to throw his signature hook. at this point the only thing Cotto has over Canelo is that awesome footwork. Cotto looked outclassed from round 4 to 12, only the first 3 were close . he had his moments but still. as far as the weight goes if you played any sport that required weight inns you would know the weight advantage does very little cos the extra weight Canelo puts on from time of weight inns to fight is mostly water weight. Not muscle. Canelo fights GGG thats the fight ppl should b talking about.

In all the only way i see Cotto beating Canelo is if he somehow got Canelo to agree to a fight at like 152lbs like Floyd did but even that isnt promising. Nothing against Cotto i was a fan of the once prime Cotto. The Cotto of now tho needs to hang em up imo.
