when cotto gets by trout which i dont think will be easy

cotto aint the same. goldenboy has been protecting this kid for a reason

[irishny]

He was supposed to fight Williams, then Kirkland, then Ortiz, in his last fight alone but for obvious reasons none of them came to pass.

Hes clearly trying for a big fight.

You could make nthe argument that Cintron was a live opponent. The likes of Rhodes and Hatton were at least contenders.

Looking forward to see who he fights next

Paul Williams got paralyzed.....not his fault it was very unfortunate

sure, then Molina,Martirosyan,Lara,K9,Trout,Rosado,Quintana were not available...only light welter Lopez

[bazza12]

Looking at his resume on an individual opponent basis, none of them particularly stand out. Past-it Baldomir, NDou and Mosley, faded Gomez and Cintron, fringe welterweight Matt Hatton, an aged Ryan Rhodes and natural light welter Lopez.

He has faced in my opinion, one top ten fighter and that was Rhodes.

Nonetheless, he has impressed in remaining undefeated. His performances are aesthetically pleasing even if the opposition is lacking in substance, and he was unfortunate not to be given the chance to shine against a bigger name last time out.

I think the winner of Lara-Martirosyan makes sense next. He could try and unify against Bundrage, then perhaps Cotto.

I just think rushing him into Cotto next up is a bad idea. Miguel is much better than people seem to give him credit for at light middle.

Golden boy will only put him in with a live opponant...if they can make enormous amount of money...£££-$$$

Mayweather-Cotto-Pacquiao-Hatton....

Yep...I was surprised when he was trying to fight Williams and Kirkland. Those are pretty risky fight for him so he ain't ducking no one as far as I see. I wanted to see the Williams fight but Williams got hurt...not Canelo fault the fight didn't happen.

false. Canelo already said that EVEN IF Trout is victorious against Cotto, he will still fight cotto win or lose and avoid Trout.

open your eyes people this the most protected fighter in recent. odlh is trying to live thru this reedhead and protect him like a mother

[Go-Time]

why are people bringing up paul williams? he would have been a step up for sure, but definitly was not a live opponent. are we forgetting what lara did to him? he was just another fading fighter to feed to canelo.

then people bring up kirkland, but why is it that canelo didnt want any parts of him after he beat angulo and became his mandatory? funny they waited for him to look like crap against molina then offer him a fight, but they offer him chump change so the fight fell thru.

open your eyes.

I'm not to sold on Kirkland but Williams was a risky fight in my eyes. Even though Williams got beat by Martinez and Lara not to long ago, style make fight and Williams is none stop punching machine.

The only legit fight out there for Caneloe is Money.
