- 154 - Cotto vs. Kirkland - Who you got?

[bojangles1987]

Cotto and margarito really won't make a difference. In there you have a durable pressure fighter with volume (and some bad thoughts that may reoccur in cottos head during teh fight).

In kirkland you have a not so durable fighter at all. Which pretty much sums it up.

I just mean that I don't know where Cotto is as a fighter anymore. It's quite possible he's about shot and we don't know, because he hasn't fought anyone of note since Pac destroyed him. If you're telling me Cotto still has left what he had going into the Pacquiao fight, I'm definitely taking him to beat Kirkland.

I think he's got a lot left, at least I hope he does. I won't say for sure it's what he had going into the Pac fight though, that will take something out of you for sure.. But then again, what does margy have left after Mosley, Pac, and a career of absorbing punches before that, thanks to his style.

I think the move to 154 for Cotto almost masks any damages he may have had from the Torrez, margarito, clottey and Pacman fights. (only fights he took a beaten). He's been super inactive though.

Cotto stops him.

Cotto isnt a lmw plain and simple. That said he would land whatever he wanted on kirkland. It really comea down to cotto not being big or strong enough to keep kirkland off of him

[BALLISTIC]

How about Ortiz and Kirkland @ 154.. dam that would be nice. Ortiz has the frame to make the weight comfortably.

should happened i mean ortiz came in vs floyd at 164 no problem for him to make 154 or 160 honeslty i think ortiz beats kirkland dude to speed..both have power..but speed kills..

You think Ishida hits harder than Cotto? Lol

How about Kirkland being durable enough to stay on cotto. Which he isn't.

Sorry for the bandwagoners... but cotto is still some levels ahead of kirkland.. even that cotto aint no natural 154 and mandingo is bigger... cotto would tag him and counter pretty easy.. I mean perro did it very easy in the first round and angulo doesnt have the .50% of cottos boxing skill and technique
