Well, I'm not saying Canelo didn't win, as I haven't even seen the fight, but the odds were going to lean his way because they want a fight with Cotto. A fight that will mesh well with styles... but if Cotto fights anything like he did vs. Martinez then Canelo will be peeing blood for quite a while.
Not a done deal, but that was the talk before he signed to fight Lara. I think that's the fight roach would like to have Cotto in though. It's a 7 figure fight for both guys... hard to believe it wouldn't happen.
I've not put those two together in my head till now. It might be...but you know, I had high hopes for Canelo/Lara - hadn't seen the fight, but I've read enough accounts to know that I'd not been keen on the fight - the way it proceeded. I think I'm fairly safe to say it won't go in the manner Lara's did, but it just seems when I've high expectations for a certain fight...its the one's I don't think much of that turn out to be barn-burners. I'm almost afraid to think about it too much, lol
