i get the feeling pac/may ain't happening once bradley demolishes pac. i don't think arum will match timmy with floyd either. i think may/canelo should be his last fight and i also believe martinez is too big for floyd. so who's that leave? i'd like to see the rematch. their styles will always make for a great match up. they should do this before the year is over. i'm sure they did great numbers...and will do well in a rematch. anyone else interested besides me?

I'd watch it if there was nothing else. Fantastic bout this past Saturday, but as others have said, I thought that Floyd won resoundingly and I don't see the second being any different (except maybe this time Miguel gets KO'd). The FH UK blog has an interview where Roger Mayweather said that if Floyd went to the body it would've been an absolute beatdown (which is what I was saying as I watched the 8th, or 9th round unfold).

What I'd love to see is the boxing match that my man, Pedro Fernandez, at RingTalk.com said is next for Cotto and that's Cotto vs. Canelo.

floyd going for the body would have created openings for cotto to capitalize on. floyd had cotto hurt in that 12th round. cotto went right back at him. it's like floyd said...it looks easy from the outside but cotto is a tough dude.

canelo is a beast. i think that's a cash out fight for floyd or cotto.

True, but that's always the chance that you take when you go for the body. I really felt like Floyd took his foot off of the pedal when he had Miguel hurt, maybe he thought that Miguel was playing possum, but going for the body was a risk that I felt he could've taken and it would've paid dividends. Also if Roger said it, then damn it, it's true!
Nonetheless, Floyd won very nicely doing what he did.

I'd rather see Canelo vs. Cotto. I liked Miguel's performance a lot and would I think that both guys would give it their best.

if he had followed immediately with a shot to the body...ur right...it could have done more damage that could have paid more dividends. i think cotto established certain things early that took floyds confidence in following that up. plus...more than anything...floyd has never really been known as a finisher. he's always been safety first. i think roger's abilities as a corner man....or his effectiveness at this point are in question after this bout.

floyd won decisively...but not as decisively as usual.

i think canelo hurts both cotto and floyd. he's a legit 154lb fighter. floyd and cotto are not.

I'd love to see a Canelo-Cotto fight. Who takes that one?
Manuel would definitely outbox Canelo. I was actually surprised by Canelo's quickness.
Canelo gets taken to school by Floyd. Cotto Canelo...great.

I liked Cotto this fight. Not in a rematch though.

Cshel......make the Cotto Canelo fight.

i may be alone in this...i think canelo gives cotto and floyd serious problems. go back and watch those fights from last saturday. there is a distinct difference in size and power...and canelo's speed is decent. he's also pretty good about his defense and pacing himself. he is a much bigger dude than both cotto and floyd. they should wait until he can't make 154 to make that fight. either that...or let it be a cash out fight.
