Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez Eyes Cotto or Kirkland on April 21 or May 5

Canelo was looking for an oxygen tank in between the 3rd and 4th round of the Cintron fight, plus he has nothing that can give Cotto problems. Cotto would eat him alive and give him a sound beating.

He looked hurt.....

If Canelo wants to beat Cotto he needs to let his hands go.

I can see how he can pick Kirkland apart but Cotto is a better more experienced boxer than him and that "be patient pick shots" method will only make him lose a wide UD.

2 much politics vs Cotto to leave WBA & Kirkland fights Molina in a short while, leaving the suggested dates 2 soon...also Kirkland has 2 box Vanes as part of his eliminator after Molina(makes no sense Vanes fighting an eliminator & he's #1)...Canelo's grasping for a legit contender...

[Big Op]

Kirkland ain't getting past Molina.Molina-Canelo sounds like the better fight anyway

[mrpleaseplease]

I would have to give Canelo mad props for taking a fight with cotto. Kirkland i doubt will be available untill late 2012 due to the molina fight(which should be great) but Cotto vs Canelo would be fairly one sided imo. Cotto looked great against margs and even his fight with mayorga(who was in great shape) was a great show of skill and patience. I see a competitive fight for the first 4 or 5, then it becomes a beating as ginger tires and cotto is in full rhythem. jmo

i just simulated this fight on fight night champion this morning. . .

usually the way the fight ends is similar to how it plays out in real life. this fight, playing as canelo, i beat kirkland in a 12 round WAR. . . I just kept step-back counterpunching him. . . I was really working him over with a basic 1-2-3 jab, straight, hook. . . and then a two-piece and a biscuit, the juan manuel marquez special . . . (1-2 upstairs, followed by a vicious left lead uppercut to the liver). . .

FINAL PUNCH STATS READ: Kirkland - 242/860; jabs - 28/196. Canelo - 358/856; jabs - 153/367.

Cotto vs Canelo is a 50/50 fight but I would give the edge to Cotto

WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (39-0, 29KOs) is yet another fighter who lost the opportunity to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. Alvarez was also trying to get Mayweather in early 2012, but the WBC welterweight champion was recently sentenced to 90 days in jail for a domestic assault issue. After fighting four times in 2011, Alvarez wants a big fight to ignite his start in 2012. Alvarez told Robert Alarcon that two of the fighters that he wants to face are Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs), the WBA's champion at 154, and the WBC's number one contender James Kirkland (30-1, 27KOs).
