This would be a monster affair. I'm not sure who I favor. I understand if Canelo wants to earn a strap at 154 before he moves up, but it's such a big fight, it would make sense to do now, wouldn't it?

Good fight. Both r small for that weight. Cotto looks good but I'm not sure that wasn't because Martinez was done going into that fight. I think Canelo would prefer the aggressive Cotto and his style is suited for that fight. Miguel really believes in himself n Roach though n does have some power, so I'm not counting him out either. Style n size go to Canelo where versatility n experience go to Cotto. Great fight.
This would be a great fight.
Or
Either man vs. GGG.
Interesting to see if GGG could stop them or of they would be durable enough to last the distance. Like Cottomore for that since he has fought some wars n held on for the wins. On the other hand, he wilts under pressure n punishment, n GGG would bring plenty of both...
Cotto sees Alavrez as his pension fight and back up if all his other plans fail. He will try and fight again someone like Floyd/GGG/Quillen before he fights Saul.
I don't know about that, sir. Cotto is 33 and Canelo is 23, if Cotto gets a chance he should jump on it. You never know when that fuel line might start sputtering.Quote:

I doubt Alvarez would go anywhere near Kirkland.Quote:

Cotto gets absolute respect for taking his claim vs Martinez but he is still a guy who has sponged much damage and matched very smartly in 'return'.
No fan of Alvarez but you are putting wayyy too much stock in his demolition of Tapia. Kirkland is fierce early but he can be timed and dinged ugly with the frequency of a microwave oven. Two completely different levels that one.Quote:

Kirkland is a beast, but he's a beast with no defense, who starts super slow and can't take a good punch.
That last kid he beat the hell out of was nowhere near a top 20 fighter.
I agree :D which is why I feel it is the perfect smoke and mirrors fight for Canelo ;) Kirkland still has some name value and brings a hint of danger, an exciting style and I think it would be an easy fight to sell :)Quote:

You know everytime Cyclone backs a fighter i see a pattern and not subtle really at all. Also Kirkland the dude that got iced by the unknown Asian guy yea i am pretty sure the Ginger knocks him the fuck out. I would love to see the fight anyhow i think you get you get waht you pay for at least.
I think Ann Wolf lasts longer against Canelo than Kirkland does.
