    If the Cold War is over...

    we should be getting Cotto v Alvarez and Pacquiao v Herrera next.

    The two best fights that can be made without Haymon involved at 155lbs and 140lbs.

    Just as long as Cotto-Canelo isn't at 160




    Would be a shame for the sport

      Pacquaio-Herrera? That sounds horrible.

      Cotto-Canelo can happen I don't think Cotto is signed to TR.

        Why do you think kirkland was mentioned and not cotto as a the next possible opponent?

        Manny herrera at 140? Why? What about manny fighting a 147 lber?

          Is Cotto signed to TR? I thought he was just working with them.

            He's the champ at 140 in the eyes of most boxing fans. How does Pacquiao-Algieri sound to you?

            Herrera has win over Provodnikov too.

            Cotto-Canelo can happen I don't think Cotto is signed to TR.
            that's a good point, although if what they're saying is true, they should be able to do business regardless.

              No, we have seen no credible evidence in the form of signed contracts, that the Cold-war is over. Plus Cotto is not a TR fighter .......

              "We Should" doesn't equal "We Are" in any realm of possibilities.

                Neither are good fights but I'd rather Algeri considering I felt he beat Ruslan whereas I don't think Herrera beat Garcia.

                I'd rather Garcia-Pacquaio

                I'd rather Pacquaio-Matthysse

                Better yet I'd rather him fight someone at 147 his weight like Thurman, or Guererro or even Amir Khan.

                If Pacquaio-Herrera is the best fight to be made that's quite depressing.

                That's a terrible fight, frankly.

                  You know all those are Al Haymon fighters, not possible.

                  Herrera beat Garcia. Only 12.5% scored it to Garcia. It is what it is. I think he beats Algieri too, comfortably.

                  No idea.

                  They're all Haymon fighters.

                    I think Cotto vs. Alvarez is next.

                    I think Arum stated he has to wait for everything to clear up and see how the Golden boy vs. Richard lawsuit plays out before pairing up fights, right now Oscar doesn't know who he has signed to his stable, that is how clueless he is on the matter.

                    I wonder what Haymon tells these guys so they sign with him?
