    BS fight. Cotto should just retire. In a fight like this I always want the underdog to rise up and teach the taking the piss big name fighter a lesson. Not likely to happen, but I hope Cotto gets stopped in round 1. I won't watch.

    The invisible man wanted too much, so cotto took the next best thing... Kirkland...

    Damn that's sad. I would actually still ppv a good cotto fight but Kirkland, hell no. You never know who's going to show up at a Kirkland fight. They must have done the numbers and figure they could make money on the fight but this is at best a showtime fight and in reality a nicely dressed network fight but not a match up I would pay for. Cotto should retire, Kirkland as well for that matter he's taken too many shots but I think cotto will win this...smh

    I just want to know how Cotto is still ranked 4th by Ring in a stacked 154? I mean I know how but how . Kirkland was a full frontal force but burned out quick. Ron had it and frankly he's a guy now brought in to make a guy look devastating, almost a Mayorga role but Mayorga was a better fighter and actually punch resistance. Not knocking him for riding a rep but he peaked at Angulo and I can't get beyond listening to him try to form sentences after Canelo punched him numb. Knocks on Cotto really, either piss or get off the pot and again he looks to reset in a showcase. Anyone in their right mind think he runs with the Charlo we saw Saturday It's just a payday to guarantee Cotto sees at least one more for himself.

    For the record, I'm not defending Kirkland's choice as opponent. But how is this any different from any other fighter with a storied career wanting to milk what's left of it, and get out with maximum profit? The double standard with this guy continues, and probably will as he rides off into the sunset. I will say this: He may be fighting damaged goods now. But he got off to a fast start from the beginning of his career, and fought some very tough opposition throughout. I won't get into calling out other elite fighters active now.... but we all know how different careers stack up.

    Cotto will win this one easy unless he just allows Kirkland to hit him.....(ahem @TitoFan )

    Kirkland is done for, he's 32 he's a power punching pressure fighter, his days as anything other than "an opponent" are done, over

    Wolfe has just joined him for this fight. Hmmm

    Wolfe actually scares me more than Kirkland. He does seem more dedicated when he has her but it's not going to make enough of a difference in this fight

    Won't matter unless this has just become a sanctioned handicap match Wolfe and Kirkland vs Cotto

    I think the unwillingness to walk the walk and catch weights seriously put me off Cotto. Always liked him as a fighter but for a guy ranked #2 in the world more on history now rather than ability who cannot even fight a top 15 boxer? Just cannot appreciate that.

    Well the conversation was typed sooooo ummm, no we didn't "hear" ourselves. Dude asked a question, I attempted to answer to the best of my abilities. Don't be offended at my answer to a hypothetical question.

    It's not a great fight for Cotto that we can agree on. Cotto should be making the biggest fights he can and this ain't it.

    @El Kabong

    Serious quote fail on this one, bro.

    @Spicoli will be mortified.

    Your point was made, though.





    P.S. - Shit... now I screwed up too. No telling who said what.

    This Spicoli fella knows his shat

    @Hulk I'd trip over my jaw if Cotto v Charlo could happen. I'd have to favor much larger and fresher Charlo though and probably harsh fashion as it went late. Never underestimate depth of experience though. And Williams had a brief time where he was sneaking some short straight rights in on Charlo who can leave himself open.
