Cotto vs Lemieux in December?

So what made HBO reconsider Cotto-Kamegai? Did they get an assurance Cotto will follow it up with a big fight? Did the price go down dramatically without the Roc Nation guaranteed money?

Dan Rafael, The Boxing Guy (12:09 PM)

As I understand it HBO has assurances that should all go well with Cotto he will fight at 160 in his next fight and face a top guy with Lemieux the most likely. Previously, he had not agreed to that. Also, the financial deal is the same as Roc Nation had offered as far as I am told.

I think Cotto gets knocked out.

Sounds like a good fight to me.

[DeathWish]

Hmm. Interesting. But if Cotto is going to 160 and possibly looking to fight with Lemieux. Why not fight GGG in a big fight, more money???

[PK3434]

I can see Cotto agreeing to that verbally and then not following through.

Looks like they are taking the:



route with cotto. Lemule hits hard as hell. Unless they are going to drain him I got lemule winning.

this will end up being really bad for Cotto

Good fight? I think lemeuix ends his career and Ko's him easily

I doubt it. Canelo didn't end his career why would Lemiux who I belive to be a bit on the overrated side.

cotto would get knocked out cold.

Canelo boxes more. He didn't really go in for the kill. I think he could have stopped COtto.

I think one connection from lemuix puts cotto out. I don't think cotto will take this fight
