Miguel Cotto will face Daniel Geale at 157

[TitoFan]

Cotto turns 35 this year and he has had a few batterings, it won't get any easier for him. He will beat Geale and then must take on the real challenge of Canelo or GGG. A fight against either one of them must take place later this year before Cotto becomes a punching bag himself!

We all laughed when Floyd said Cotto is better than Canelo.

Cotto gave Floyd a run for his money....Canelo....got embarrassed.

Speaking of which...when is Canelo fighting?

The difference between the Floyd-Cotto fight and the Floyd-Canelo fight was abysmal. Only one of the reasons why Cotto refused to cave to Canelo's demands during their negotiations. Canelo (held by the hand by ODLH, of course) comically demands A-side treatment, which of course you have to EARN. Cotto rightfully and basically told Canelo to f*ck off.

Canelo landed the best punch though......when he hit the cameraman in the 11th round.

Cotto > Canelito

On another thread, the statistic came out that the Floyd-Canelo embarrassment was the highest grossing PPV ever, eclipsed only (expected) by the upcoming Floyd-Pac fight. To which I replied how stupidly boxing fans spend their money. Nothing surprises me in boxing anymore.

How can Canelo even be a PPV headliner at this point?!? Think about how much money this guy makes compared to what Chavez, Morales, Barrera and Marquez made at similar points in their careers. Canelo is no where near those guys in terms of skill, quality of opposition or experience nd he's making MILLIONs more than they did. Ridiculous!

I share your disgust and your very valid points. The answer to the question is one word:

HYPE



It's been a constant companion to Canelo since the beginning of his career. So much so that even fellow Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez (Senior) called him overrated and coddled. He's only fairly recently begun to fight credible opposition, yet he sports a gaudy record and commands big PPV money.

Only in boxing.....
