    True but then again I think folks are a bit shocked that The Alvarez vs Cotto fight fell through and now Cotto is taking on a possibly more difficult challenge in Lara... Which wouldn't make much sense since it's also significantly less money and higher risk.

    Anyway... Good fight but I honestly think Lara could pull off the upset which would suck for many fans who wanted to see the Cotto vs Alvarez fight.

        I wouldn't even see it as an upset though. Lara is a damn good boxer as we all know, and I honestly can see either guy taking this one. I doubt it happens since it seems DeCubas Jr. is the only speaking on the subject and we haven't heard anything from Cotto's side. Would be a great fight though, hopefully it does happen.

              Well.. it's the best possible fight from the list of possible opponents mentioned thus far. Much better than Bradley vs Cotto for sue

              BTW I DeCubas Jr, that fat little f@ck is hilarious with his translation interviews.

              War Dream!

                It was disappointing that Cotto v Canelo didn't go through. Boxing never goes according to what fans 'think', at least not for the most part.

                I'll take that one. Although GGG would probably have his way with Lara. If Lara was a natural 160 pushing 168., I can see him giving Golovkin fits.

                Yes, until we hear from Cotto himself making this fight official, it's all irrelevant.

                Decubas talks alot of smack and has been a good mouthpiece for Lara, but I doubt Cotto would back down due to that. At least I hope.

                  Weren't you always crying about canelo being a middleweight fighting at JMW?

                  I guess when the shoe fits huh?

                    Doubt it, Cotto can't be that dumb right? I mean might as well just fight Golovkin and go out like a warrior and get massive respect losing fighting the best like Hopkins did fighting Kovalev, Lara would be the Austin Trout fight all over again.

                    But if it happens it's certainly better than Cotto vs Bradley at 155 for the lineal title.

                      Get some sleep my son. I'm saying Cotto should be fighting GGG the #1 MW contender.
