HBO -COTTO v RODRIGUEZ-CRAWFORD v KLIMOV- FIGHT NIGHT CHAT THREAD

[Violent Demise]

Rodriguez garbage as always. But Cotto ain't totally shot yet. No reason Alvarez-Cotto shouldn't happen

[TitoFan]

Good showing by Cotto. It was good to see him being aggresive again.

[Spicoli]

Lampley going drama and overstated..the shock

[walrus]

Good for Cotto, I was hoping he would look good. Don't know how he will fare with Canelo but he got himself to the point where he has the chance.

Agreed. That or for him to go down in weight like he said.

That would be a pussy move. There's nothing for him at 147. Who is he gonna fight? Devon Alexander? Kell Brook? Come on now. Nobody give a fuck about them fights. Cotto can't avoid Alvarez again

[Kirkland Laing]

Alvarez is too big for Cotto but it would be a cracking fight. Mexico angainst Puerto Rico and an absolute war. Cotto is a free agent too so they can make it easily. It's the logical next fight for both of them unless Alvarez's people want a tuneup/comeback before it happens.

They wanted that fight for awhile. But Cotto turned it down. No way he can turned it down now

Cotto has wanted the Alvarez fight since he lost to Mayweather. He's only got a few fights left at the end of a great career and he wanted a tuneup against Trout and then Alvarez. He lost the tuneup. And he knew he was the underdog against Alvarez but would still have taken the fight if he'd beaten Trout. He's after making the most money he can before he retires.

If Alvarez's people are willing to make the Cotto fight now instead of having a Rodriguez-like confidence builder first then Cotto will happily sign up for it.

That was the 2nd time. They first looked for Cotto after beating Gomez. But Cotto who had said he would never fight Margarito again decided to fight Margarito. Alvarez fought Cintron instead. But what's done is done. Time for them to fight now

Quit your idiotic double standards. Canelo "wanted" Cotto when he had nothing to offer but a bloated record. He wanted Cotto after he (Canelo) beat Josesito. Who had Canelo beaten up to then? How did Canelo merit a fight vs. the future Hall of Famer Cotto, with 100 times the resume Canelo had/has?

The up and coming challenger doesn't set the rules or conditions. The veteran who has earned his stripes does. You know that. Well... maybe I'm giving you too much credit. The fight wasn't economically viable until Canelo beat or at least fought some credible opposition. He beat Trout.... fine. That was a good fight for Canelo. Then he got shut out by Floyd 10 times worse than Miguel ever did.

Still.... the economics are there now. NOW it's worth Miguel's while to fight Canelo. Not before. Of course, if the situations were reversed (Canelo was the veteran, future HOF'er, and Cotto was the up and coming young fighter)..... you'd be saying exactly what I'm saying.

THAT'S why it stinks of double standard.
But go ahead....... start with the insults.
It's the only goddam thing you know how to do.

Do me a favor. If you got nothing productive to say, STFU.

Alvarez has had a big following for years already. The fight would of made big money. If you think otherwise than you really are a bigger idiot than I thought you were. And believe me when I tell you, you have no fucking idea how big of an idiot I already think you are

Nothing to offer? Nothing but lots of cash. But who the fuck wants that, right?

[Violent Demise]

Alvarez-Cotto is huge fight. It needs to be made
