    Luciano Cuello
    Jose Cotto

    He's a manufactured paperbelt joke. He's got a name and a huge ppv hungry nation backing him up, if he was from, say...venezuela, GBP wouldn't even have looked his way.

    he is like Khan with a weaker resume, i dont call him a prospect, he's above that now with so many fights under his belt, he's just hype at the moment

    Prospect? Eh. He's got a lot of fights, he's a champion, still behind Cotto.

    Because he's mexican and May 5th, makes the most sense but Cotto is the better fight.

    Nothings confirmed. So lets wait and see.

    The date fits a canelo fight perfectly as a backup for manny duckiao ducking out of the fight. As a floyd fan I'd be pretty disappointed in such a fight, and even though Duckiao and Arum ducked the fight, pac-bradley is a better fight than pbf-canelo.

    I disagree.


    I think they are both equally 100% ****. I think if Floyd goes to 154, it's only 98% **** instead of 100. :lol:

    I don't want either fight.

    Not a prospect, but a young, protected champion

    i find it funny how floyd gets **** for a rumored canelo fight, because floyd is a top p4p fighter and canelo is young and green, yet people are craving for a sergio/chav jr. fight, which is basically the same thing

    How about Martinez Vs. Void fight? Void wants' no part of that fight, nor does Void want to fight Pac, for any amount of money. However, I see nobody complaining about Void fighting women.............

    Both are pointless fight at the moment. People wanting Martinez vs. JCCjr are just wanting Jr to get KTFO, which he most likley would.

    Anyway, I wouldn't call Canelo a prospect, but he's no way near ready for floyd's level. he's barely stepped up as a pro, hadn't really faced ANYONE in his own division who's worth a darn.

    PAc vs. Bradley is a 100 times better then Floyd vs. Canelo. :patsch
    Bradley has beaten top guys in his own division. Has Alvarez? Hell no. His best win is vs. Gomez FFS... Nice try eze...:roll:

    Spin it anyway you want, he got a belt handed to him on a silver platter.
