The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 3

Canelo sure runs out of gas for a young guy. lol

Props to Cotto. His legacy will always remain. He should retire and look into the sunset. His ass don't need to fight G3.

I love Cotto, but what is his legacy?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

My spanish is aight, but even I understood his corner telling him to stop messicng around and focus. Also, his gf is hnnnngh af.

Canelo definitely won the battle of the ladies tonight. The cut between the families was no contest.

One of the best of his era. He is a future hof. Don't try to take that from the man cause i'd meet yo ass in a popeyes parking lot right now.

Cotto is a top 5 favorite of mine, I adore him. But he is kind of like Oscar, in that he doesn't have that defining fight against a legit ATG or even one of the best of his era. His best win is probably Sugar Shane, but Shane was more then a bit past it at that point. I don't even think Miguel has that Vargas victory, like Oscar had. The second fight against Margarito was a victory by way of Pacman.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

By the way, I am a bit ashamed that Cotto ran from the post-fight. Not cool, not cool at imo.

 

[Silver Spider]

Has Cotto ever given a post fight interview after he's lost? I'm a Cotto fan, but I've never liked how he leaves the ring after a loss.

That is a good point really. Though most of his losses he was pretty beat up, even the Mayweather fight he looked out on his feet at the end. Tonight he just looked like a really sore loser.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I still think we see Canelo v G3.

May 5?

You would hope, but here is the thing. Canelo can say he will fight him, but he is going to start the weight game, Oscar has already laid the ground work. MW limit is 160, that is where the fight should be.

I know, but if we want to see them fight so be it. G wants to get paid. His ass will no doubt accept.

 

[Silver Spider]

I imagine Oscar will try his hardest to dissuade Canelo from taking that fight. I think Canelo wants it, but does De La Hoya really want his golden child in a fight like that?

It's one thing to let him fight Trout and Lara who pose the treat of outboxing you, but if you lose to GGG you're taking years off your career.

GGG already said he wouldn't cut that low for anyone but Floyd, which is exactly why I think Oscar is pitching it. To avoid the fight.

Oscar doesn't want the fight, he doesn't think Canelo can beat him. Whether he can is another matter, but Oscar doesn't think he can beat him.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I still haven not gotten on the G hype. A fight against Canelo won't be a walk in the park. The boy can trade punches. Hell, most mexican fighters love that stuff. G has not had his chin checked either.

GGG has shown a great chin. Personally, I feel like GGG slaughters Canelo and badly. He can outbox Canelo easily, and throws a lot harder. Canelo has balls and is more then willing to trade, but my money would be on GGG beating Canelo up and winning a wide decision, if not knocking Canelo out.

I agree with everything, but still gotta roll them dice, ya dig?

I would bet my money on Canelo. I made 300 from that Rousey lost.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Hey, I have seen crazy upsets. Though GGG is a lot better boxer then Rousey is an MMA fighter.

 

[Docker2.0]

The size difference was incredibly noticeable. Canelo had virtually no respect for Cotto's power.

Yeah it was. There was nothing Cotto could do. Camelot just walked through his punches.

 

[Fallen Angel]

It was the right result but the margin of victory on the scorecard for Cotto/ Alvarez was a joke.

Oh and no way Alvarez fights Golovkin.

 

[Iceman]

Klitschko Fury just round the corner now!

 

[TheCommissioner]

GGG and Canelo goes almost the distance, GGG puts him on his arse

gimme this fight right MEOW!!!

 

[Doc Samson]

Agreed with the decision, definitely not the scores. Cotto fought a good fight, it was evident he just couldn't hurt Canelo. Hopefully he's done though, it was a good showing and he's already cemented his legacy.

Props to Canelo, he was strong and paced himself at least better than he usually does as far as gassing out. All around good fight!

 

[Silver Spider]

Yeah, the scorecards were too wide; 11-1 is just crazy. Unfortunately the way boxing is scored, decisions like that are very possible. I'm just glad they got the right winner.

On a side note, those purple hats worn by Canelo's team reminded me of Clementine's from the Walking Dead games. Just replace the CA logo with a D and it's perfect. t:

 

[Uptown Finest]

Klitschko Fury just round the corner now!

Will that even be a good fight? I see Vladimir killing the dude.

 

[Docker2.0]

I'm going upset here. I think Fury will shock the world.

 

[Iceman]

Klitschko should obviously win and Fury is a stupid, crazy wild bastard but not lacking in heart, size or power. If he gets a lucky shot in it would get very interesting. I'd give him much more chance than most of Klitschko's other opponents. It will be hard to knock Fury out too.

Yeah Docker, he has a small chance at least. I don't care who wins but it could be interesting.
