    Amazing that so many are picking Cotto.

    Nobody seems worried about Cotto age,or last time Cotto went against credible opponent in Trout.

    I don't think Cotto has entered to his 2nd prime at the age of 34 with Roach.

    People are getting just fooled by Cotto last 2 perfomance against overmatched opponents.

    Remember Cotto was closer to his prime in 2012 when he fough Trout.next may it's like 2,5yrs from that fight.

    And Canelo also keep getting better,yes Cotto is more proven.but everything in lighter weights.

    Cotto is cashing out,like Martinez was doing against Cotto

    Looks as if Golovkin will become the mandatory for the winner of Cotto/Alvarez. He will knock both out. Very easy fight for Golovkin, esp. Cotto who ran from him. Cotto knows to stay away from Golovkin and I think Alvarez will have to be forced to fight Golovkin.................

    Mayweather clarifed tonight that it will be May 2nd! I know Canelo wants the date(s) but he has to wait one more year. SO when should they fight now??

    April is perfect. April 25 could be wild but to close to May-pac if you ask me so I would say 2nd week of April. right after March Madness is over. theres nothing else going on. baseball will have just started and thats boring, Nascar just started, boring. Fight will be MASSIVE AROUND THAT TIME!! Can use Super bowl tp hype, NCAA Tourney to hype, I dig it

    PPL will say June but thats to far. Canelo's contract is 3 fights a year. waiting almost a whole year when you will be wasting prime years is stuip! gotta happen in April.

    Canelo will get his mexicans dates but it has to wait for the king to retire :bbb:bbb

    They should wait until the fight is signed to do an u thing. Feel like the fight has been on a few times over the last few years. Fingers crossed though

    True but i dont think its ever been this close. I feel it because Pac has nobody else to fight and less then 300k buys has ****ed off everybody at HBO/TR/Arum. back in 2010 Mayweather had Mosley in the backround for the true WW title so i had my doubts. but now they both need each other

    Hard to believe that after 5 years people are still thinking this fight will happen. Ill love to be wrong this time but the fights not happening.

    And thats how Mayweather played everyone (not Me) and this fight has been hyped for 5 years....DAMN MAYWEATHER GOOD!!!! Actually got ppl thinking hes scared, he just guranteed 3 mil buys. I expect rematch too so expect Floyd to take a couple rounds off. Mayweather 8-4 will be just enough for a rematch

    You bump this after he announces his opponent ;)



    And theres nothing smart about it. The buys wont be close to as much now as it would have been pre JMM3 and 4. Not even close.
