If Andy Lee upsets Cotto, will Canelo fight still happen?

no biatch

 

I hope andy lee does beat him, it'll be karma
then andy lee can be fed to the highest bidder

 

If Cotto cannot defeat Andy Lee, then he has even less of a shot versus Canelo. I actually think Lee is a good tune up for the Canelo fight.

I think Bradley has a lot of other options at 147, he shouldn't taint his stock by fighting Cotto and loosing at a higher weight.

 

Possibly but would more likely take place at JMW for Canelo's belt rather than MW for Cotto's. I think Cotto went up to fight Martinez with the thought if he lost, the Canelo fight is on the table still, so maybe he thinks the same for Lee.

Although even when Trout beat Cotto, I expected Canelo v Cotto more than Trout v Canelo.

 

I hope cotto suffers back to back KO losses to both guys.

 

big difference between losing to Martinez, who was THE man at MW (even though he was broken) and then losing cotto's inherited mantle to andy lee

it can only hurt cotto

 

Yea it will be a double whammy. Canelo still fights the popular boricua fighter, perhaps Miguels last fight and huge payday, and then Lee as champion will cater to the star desperate Irish fans and prepare for a crazy, Irish vs Mexican-Irish showdown that would bring tears to many irishmen faces. Instant sellouts.

Interestingly, IF the very humble Lee does become champ, he'd be yet ANOTHER fighter aside from Stevenson to have been trained by Steward and become champion AFTER Steward has passed away. It'd be such a feel good story Lee had\has so much potential, but in big fights always came short. You really want to see a good guy like him do great instead of being a stepping stone for someone else.

well said

ordinarily I wouldn't want to see a 'stepping stone' fighter fulfill a fairytale, because so much cynicism has to live alongside the 'world champion' tag

but considering team cotto's blatant duck (and I NEVER use that word) of golovkin, it would be poetic justice to see lee have his (brief) moment in the sun

 

Andy lee will have to KO cotto to win he will get screwed if the fight goes the distance no way will the promoters let the judges be honest

 

lee has some pretty pitch perfect knockouts, throws that right hook superbly.

 

I like Lee but he can be unsteady on his feet. If he keeps Cotto at range and is accurate, he can score an upset.

 

What you really want for Andy Lee is for him to retire. He is a hopeless case. Going nowhere and taking unnecessary beating that may be doing him damage.
