Why is that and why does he need the belt? I hope the Kazak says no and demands the fight. I've lost a ton of respect for Cotto since Martinez.
Alvarez has to be able to handle the James Kirklands of the world but he best bring his A-game
Cotto wants to keep the middleweight title to entice a fight with Floyd and I think he will beat Geale.
Re: Moving on...Canelo vs Kirkland vs Cotto vs Golovkin
I'm looking forward to the Canelo fight, it'll be interesting to see where he goes after this fight, he is taking a long time in rebuilding his career after the Mayweather fight.
I did rate him before the fight with Floyd and he looked like he genuinely wanted to start stepping it up a gear, it's funny how he was being bullshited up to be the next best thing but that loss looks like it really fucked him up

In the next year he needs to fight Andrade or move up though.
Canelito doesn't get a free pass...so what if he fought Trout and Lara....big deal...other guys fought them before Alvarez did.
His entire career is mostly easy fights.

He might show bursts of energy here and there but this will be one sided.
:rolleyes:
you can't be serious..

That was what I was saying, his career has been easy fights up until that point, I think he felt as though he was finally ready to start stepping it up a gear and push on with the tougher fights, then Floyd came along and put a stop to that plan and he's had to go back to the drawing board

That being said there is an interesting fight next week. I say Canelo wins because he is more skilled, but he isnt exactly an elite when it comes to his boxing IQ. Kirkland pacs a wallop(if people still say that) and can pose a threat? who wins?
I assume Cotto wins his in June then should fight the winner of this fight, which i think to be Canelo, and the winner of that fight should fight golovkin, at which point i think Golovkin takes all of them.
Thoughts?
More smaller fighters for GGG to feast on.
Come on Golovkin fans.....time to raise the bar.
I wish some one would raise you UP AND DROP YOU ON YOUR HEAD.:appl::appl:

His embarrassing loss to Floyd will be all but forgotten and he'll be hailed as the second coming once again.
People may even begin to clamor for a rematch with Floyd.
:vd:
Watching the telecast (why oh why are we being subjected to the WHOLE May-Pac fight again??)....... and my worst fears are materializing. HBO can't WAIT to continue hyping Canelo as the next big thing in boxing. Oh godddddd...... Someone will have to get the HBO crew monogrammed knee pads as they go down on Canelo. The guy hasn't even climbed the ring against Kirkland and he's already being anointed.
I hope Kirkland beats that anointed ass.
Re: Moving on...Canelo vs Kirkland vs Cotto vs Golovkin
Man that was painful!! BOTH networks reairing fight and even those awkward stammered set of Kellerman interviews. This is going to fester like some infected cracked tooth
two words boxing world..MOVE ON! Canelo and Kirkland must be punching holes in the wall waiting this out
Re: Moving on...Canelo vs Kirkland vs Cotto vs Golovkin
That was impressive. Beautiful punch selection by Alvarez.
Re: Moving on...Canelo vs Kirkland vs Cotto vs Golovkin
Fun fight, good job kirkland for coming to fight, even thoguh his tactics were maybe not the best and some great work from canelo there, apparently 28/28 punches in the 2nd round.. I think canelo got hit more than he would have liked but that fight was a lot of fun!
Re: Moving on...Canelo vs Kirkland vs Cotto vs Golovkin
Big brass by Kirkland. But someone needs to watch this dude and hope he matches smart because its catches up fast and a network will feed you to the sharks once beyond the gate
