Canelo vs martinez

[Rantcatrat]

Right, Martinez has a tough fight on Saturday. Murray is no pushover. I expect a proper turn up. If I'm Martinez, and I can get Canelo, that is who I go far. If not, I probably target Geale, all this assumes he gets by Murray on Saturday.

If I were Canelo's people, I would probably choose between Mayweather and Cotto. With regard to Cotto, I understand he'll destroy him, but in terms of risk/reward, it's the best fight out there because the money will still be good and the risk is low. With regard to Mayweather, the money is just too good to pass up, and what does a loss do? There is no shame in losing to the best p4p fighter in the world, and if he loses to another boxer, his chance of facing Mayweather in the future diminishes.

As far as Canelo vs. Martinez, it's an attractive fight, especially considering that Canelo steps into the ring at 171 pounds, that's an 18 pound difference than the weigh-in the day before the fight. So, they are not that very far apart in terms of weight. If Canelo is going for a legacy-defining fight, the lineal middleweight champion might be the best he can do. On the other hand, Mayweather is the BEST option, as far as money and fame go. Martinez packs in 40,000 fans in Buenos Aires, but Mayweather brings PPV money in the USA. The difference in $ is significant. I'm not sure a Martinez fight is worth the risk either.

One important aspect that hasn't been considered is that Martinez fights on HBO and Canelo fights on Showtime. Therefore, this fight will not happen anytime soon.

Mayweather vs. Canelo is the fight to be made.

Alvarez will be fighting Cotto next I think.

Cotto will get really hurt. He needs to call it a day.

Canelo should fight floyd at 147 if he really wants the fight. Floyd doesnt do catchweights and will not disadvantage himself against a fighter that will weigh 25pounds or more on fight day.

It's up to Floyd whether he wants to fight Canelo clearly, but he's been at 154 twice before when the price was right against Cotto and De La Hoya. He did fight in those two fights. In addition, who is there for Floyd to fight at 147? In my opinion, the only interesting fights for Floyd are at 154 right now.

Saul should wait at the light middle and entice Floyd to come up. In the meantime Saul can win more alphabet straps.

Sad but probably true.
