Man i dont like it! I totally wanted to see both guys before they fought each other on non ppv fights! Plus the world wanted to too! I think they both thought, and there teams, on how much this fight is gonna make and dont want to risk it. For Cotto i get hes excuses. He wont have Freddie Roach the whole time if he was to fight dec 13 so thats a good excuses. Canelo probably just wants a breather which is fine or whatever. Just would've been way more hyped if they both would've won fights on regular HBO. Cotto has been out this long Canelo has not. both are professionals so it shouldnt take away from fight. The only problem for Canelo is that he went from a stand still punching bag in Angulo, to a superb boxer in Lara now to a fighter which hes never seen before. somebody that can box, best body puncher hes ever faced, strongest fighter he ever faced, good luck to Canelo! Clottey wouldnt have shown that but Canelo would've had to try to break thru some defense which he might have to with Cotto because Cotto defense looked right his last 2 fights. :bbb:bbb
what happen to the days when true champions were true champions and fought no matter what not scared of losing both of this guys bottled it in terms of taking a fight before the big showdown in may
Still a bit confused on this one.....Opie was quoted this morning as saying, "it was brought to my attention that I have an injury to my ankle and I would need 5 weeks to recover so I am not fighting this year" He didn't know he had an injury? Whatever.....! It stinks that us fans are treated this way....dangling this Latino matchup to cash in on the Cinco De Mayo next Spring!!! Cotto should just fight Alfred " GGG " Neuman early next year then clean up with the Red Headed Punching Bag ..." Opie " !!! Arum is such a greedy *******!!!!! De La Hoya is no better....he is romanticizing this Latino Cinco De Mayo event!!! Arum is in the twilight of his life with tons of cash and he treats the Fans this way!!!!
