Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kirkland Close For May 2nd in San Antonio?

[LADIV]

So Canelo backs out a cotto fight to fight a bum lol I hope floyd bumps him off the date

He didn't back out of the cotto fight, cotto wouldn't sign the contrac , I guess he moved from one bum to fight another bum,

[I.R.I.E]

I hate it!!

[lopez36]

i like this fight,it's not his fault cotto didn't sign the contract,so on to someone else,after this fight if he wins I would like canelo to face andrade

Kirkland's history?

Let's hope Kirkland follows thru and shows up for the fight!

Well with this news you can pretty much say

Mayweather vs Cotto 2 on May 2 on pay per view
Canelo vs Kirkland on May 2 regular HBO

^ Since HBO is showing this you can pretty much now tell Manny vs Floyd is off

Good observation! However this like May v cotto or paq are not a done deal. But if it does get confirmed then ur prediction will ripen.

[Larry the boss]

So Canelo basically gave up the May 2nd date

[Lords]

This fight is trash do to Kirklands inactivity.

Gave up the date?

What are you talking about. Cotto refused to sign with him because your boy is fcuking up boxing.

Canelo can't play his cards right because Floyd keeps scrambling the deck

All in all, this is a GREAT fight for the fans regardless of who wins. I'll take this fight over Floyd-Guerrero/Maidana II/Marquez, etc any day of the week.

A few weeks back Canelo's trainer or adviser was saying we want Cotto's middleweight belt. Well there's another guy available who has one of those belts, a guy that goes by the nickname of GGG. Just saying!
