    Well Cotto and K-9 are both free agents should be easy to make

      K9 may also be the wakest champ right now. It'a a winnable fight for Cotto.

        K9 is delusional if he thinks Cotto will give up his MSG date for a fight in Detroit. He's not going to get a shot at Canelo either. Who else at 154 can give him those type of paydays?

        Best option is to fight Cotto at the Mecca of boxing. He's not getting any younger...

          K9 good luck with that. I seriously doubt this would happen. It's nothing more than a tuneup fight.

            Good points, but you have to realize that Cotto is a PPV fighter now. He only fights BIG NAME fighters. K9 will just have to wait and get at least two big wins vs either EL PERRO, LARA, KIRKLAND or even a MOLINA to establish some sort of credit/recognition to be match up with COTTO. And that's why I suggested he sign with GBP because they can make all those fights happen.

            Yes he's the IBF champ but you can't just beat powell and spinks twice and expect to get a big name like cotto in the ring. K9 hasn't even gotten HBO exposure or PPV undercard exposure. I'm going alittle off topic but these are the things that will make it hard for him to get a fight vs COTTO.

              What about Vanes? He always says he wants a big fight. Maybe K9 should invite him to Detroit. Or maybe Kirkland who should be ready to fight by Oct/Nov. That would be a fun fight as long as it lasts.

                This is a good fight for Cotto for December 1st. Then Canelo.

                  K9 should not be even mentioning detriot.That shows he thinks he calls
                  the shots.And he will be hard to make a deal with.

                      Cotto ain't fighting you K9, I hate to break it to you. He's got bigger fish to fry.
