    Khan can still fight Bradley and he should. or just fight Brook in June!

    Cotto should just fight GGG...and i think hes still thinking about it. thats why he hasnt announced a fight

    Sure, he picked on a smaller man blah blah blah, we're not discussing no legs Martinez cherry pick gone bad. We're exposing the fact that the last time Cotto beat a live body was against Clottey years ago and even that fight was controversial.

    Canelo should've waited. Turns out Cotto was right and the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight ended up happening. No reason for the Cinco de Mayo weekend anymore. Canelo/Cotto should've just happened in June. Now we're getting James Kirkland who went into training camp fat and without a trainer. :patsch

    Cotto was just checking his option on with Mayweather cause if May/Pac didn't happen then Cotto had his last shot to get at Mayweather before he retired and obviously more dollars than a Canelo fight but Canelo seemed like he was rushing everything as well. They were negotiations that went bad it happens hopefully we will get a chance to see such fight within the year before its to late

    What the actual fk. Not this again.

    Cotto ducks Canelo and the same crowd keeps trying to spin it as the opposite.

    There is nothing, nothing at all to suggest that Canelo was the one to not make the fight. Do we really need to go through this yet again?

    To think that Canelo demanded May 2nd at all costs is to also say that HBO would put a Canelo-Cotto fight up against a Manny-Floyd fight. Which we all know is not possible.

    BS he was waitin on Floyd and made demand after demand to stall waiting on Floyd Delahoya and Canelo did all they could do ..

    Dan Rafael of ESPN.com had this:

    "It fell apart because Canelo Alvarez wanted to get a deal done. He said it was five deadlines with the Cotto side and they still hadn't reached an agreement on the finances of the fight, and therefore he told Oscar De La Hoya that it's time to move on. Oscar spoke with Miguel Cotto's representative on Friday night, and told him that, and like gentlemen they said, 'Fine, we're moving on

    5 deadlines come on now Alvarez doesn't seem like the type to duck

    Funny thing is that Canelo will end up not not fighting May 2, that fight will definitely will be moved to another date.
