https://www.change.org/petitions/go...ons-make-the-cotto-canelo-fight-happen-next-3 Truth is we want this fight. It makes sense too on all sides. - Canelo gets to fight a tough proven fighter to prepare himself for a bigger threat. - Cotto's chance to redeem himself. - Mexico vs. Puerto Rico - it will sell. - Cotto coming from a brave attempt against a bigger guy which proves this warrior fights everyone. - Show clips of the Trout fight and Cotto's best moments portraying him like a relentless attacker. - Then show clips from the Mayweather fight. - Have 5 experts talk about how styles make fights and this will be a very intriguing fight. Canelo's toughest challenge to prove he is ready. Many will pick Cotto to pull it off too which will make the fight that much more appealing. - Looking at it, this is exactly the fight Canelo needs. He can't be thrown to a Mayweather type fighter until he fights a Cotto. - And for Cotto, this is a very winnable fight and perfect situation to solidify his place in boxing history and erase the Trout fiasco. ^^ I will email all of thise points to Golden Boy in a professional essay style proposition and bombard them on Twitter with them. They're already leaning on makingit anyways. I'll deliver the final push. :deal LET'S GET THIS DONE!!!
usually I bet they'd ignore this, but if they got enough signatures, I bet GBP would still let this influence them. They can use the petition to legitimize the fight. Now they're thinking it isn't viable since Cotto lost, but if they see fan support for the fight in form of a petition, they could go along
I actually sent it to the email addresses of Golden Boy. I plan on calling them as well when we get enough signatures. I am positive they'll take a look.
Trust me, you ain't gotta petition GBP. They WILL make Canelo-Cotto. It'll be a huge PPV draw, regardless of Cotto losing Sat. It'll be more fan friendly, and it's likely that at this point Ginger would be too much for the faded Miggy. That's everything GBP wants. The LAST thing they want is their cash cow getting outboxed by a guy with no crossover appeal like Trout. So, Cotto-Canelo will still happen in the spring. If justice is served, Cotto will pull the upset. But I think Canelo will trash him at this point.
Oh I hope they do. It's the fight we all want to see. It would be the most profitable fight too. Show clips of Mayweather-Cotto and pay 5 random boxing "experts" talking about how brave Cotto was in the mismatch against Trout and how it goes to show Cotto fights everyone. Blah you can make a great story.
Why should we? How about Canelo-Trout? Trout deserves the fight.. If Cotto was robbed or something then it would make sense. Cotto should fight Kirkland or Angulo... Both would be good fights! IMO.. And they would make sense.
