    Default Canelo will most likely face Cotto in September

    Cotto wants it, Sulaiman wants it, and so does GBP...

    Three-time world champion in different divisions Miguel Cotto reportedly could earn a purse of $10 million in a September 14th showdown against undefeated WBC/WBA 154-pound champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. The fight would be a production of Canelo Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Miguel Cotto Promotions so the negotiations to reach a financial agreement shouldn’t present problems given Cotto’s close relationship with Oscar de la Hoya, President of GBP. Although Cotto has lost his last two fights, his market value hasn’t diminished dramatically due to how close the fights were against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and then Austin Trout.

    - Fight New

    Those of you in the know should know by now how FLoyd operates.. Id be surprised if he jumped in there so quick in September and it's harder to believe that he'll face Canelo that soon..

    Canelo needs more seasoning anyways and a fight with Cotto is logical at this point.

    Can Cotto finally beat a Mexicano or will he get busted up and knocked out again?

    I'd be genuinely worried for Cotto as at this point against Canelo, he'll potentially be in for a right old beating IMO. A fight that would be much more interesting for me would be Cotto vs Ortiz at 154.

    I agree.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cotto doesn`t have the chin to take a right old beating. He`ll be knocked out almost as soon as Canelo lands flush.

    Cotto is too small, too old, and too shop worn for this to be anything other than a gimme for Alvarez.

    Canelo's on his way up. Cotto is on the downhill side of his illustrious career.
    So obviously Canelo will be the heavy favorite.
    But.......


    "Finally beat a Mejicano"??

    I hate to break it to you, but Cotto was 7-0 against Mejicanos before losing to Margarito..... and then he got that one back.

    What bullshit. Just another fight that reaffirms to me why boxing is in the toilet and the general public follows MMA instead.

    I seen a couple of the last MMA PPV's. I'll stick with boxing. Ain't nothing wrong with this fight. Alvarez wants the Mayweather fight. He's not the one holding it up. Mayweather is. So the next biggest payday fight is Cotto. Is Cotto gonna get massacred? Most likely yeah. But he'll be paid very nicely. Hell I bet Cotto pulls in more than all the fighters in the next UFC PPV pull in combined. Either way if not Cotto than who should Alvarez be fighting? And give answers that make sense.

    No, you're totally right. This is the best fight for Canelo, and that's what's sad to me.

    In any combat sport, the best should be fighting the best. This is not the best fighting the best. Your response says it all: this is a planned massacre. A quick cash-grab at the expense of Cotto's health. It's a fresh 22 year old, the undisputed king of the division, fighting a very worn 32 year old who's coming off two losses. A guy who, according to general consensus, is washed up and on the back slide of his career. That isn't competition.

    And the sad thing is this will sell, everyone will make a lot of money and Cotto, in all probability, will have a few more years taken off his life.

    Who should Canelo be fighting? How about someone who has some momentum? Someone who can be legitimized as a challenge? Someone who isn't considered a shell of his former self? Canelo did the right thing by fighting Trout: it was a good, competitive fight that MADE SENSE. That had relevance.

    I realize 154 is pretty weak, and those credible fighters are mostly already scheduled for fights. Why not take on a middleweight or hell, challenge Sergio Martinez to a superfight?

    Of course he was shot to pieces VD. Why should you give Cotto any credit whatsoever? I was merely correcting your buddy, who was talking out of his ass as usual.
