I guess this is Canelo's Way of hinting at who he wants his next opponent to be on May 4th. The obvious choice being Cotto, but last time Canelo was publicly reported ringside for a fight in which included the fighter he intended on facing, that fighter was upset, thus him having to settle with the lesser name winner (hint, hint), so Cotto better watch it. This also fuels the rumor of Mayweather being in talk with GBP for a fight with Guerrero, while Sergio Martinez is looking to make his ring return in his home country of Argentina, so all in all Canelo may have no choice but to choose the winner of Cotto-Trout.

damn...give Canelo a chance. Why put Cotto above Canelo? Cotto has had his shot in the spotlight, and couldn't top it. Canelo is a potential star. Either one, Cotto or Trout is a credible name for Canelo, would be some of the best names on his resume so far... especially Cotto.

umm...because of experience and actual accomplishment. this isn't the nba or nfl where u get respect for potential. u actually have to accomplish something. canelo is catching shit because he had an opportunity to fight him instead of josesito who came up 2 weight classes to fight him. canelo was sitting ringside when trout fought the dominican kid at homedepot. so now...after cotto and trout mix it up...canelo gets the diminished winner? they should both tell him to kick rocks.

Well of course. I'm just saying like why put Cotto so highly important as if he has more significance in the future? Cotto has already reached his peak in star potential and is more-likely near retirement. Canelo is still rising potential, so why overshadow him?

it's not about the future. it's about now. cotto is taking on a bigger challenge than canelo did in his last fight. if cotto should win...he's in the drivers seat. if he should lose....then canelo may be in the drivers seat. if cotto should lose and canelo chooses to fight cotto instead of trout...he will lose major respect in my eyes, much the same way pac lost respect for fighting morales instead of zahir raheem.
