Comments Thread For: Cotto Has Offer For WBA Title Shot, Lara in First Defense

[New England]

Would be hard to decide who to root for in this one -- can't figure out which guy I hate more: an annoying diva or a track star who is in consistently boring fights. They deserve each other. Here's hoping for a double KO.

lol........

i think he tries to box with lara, loses clearly on points, leaves the ring, and claims he won the fight.

I would bet money that the fight would end exactly like that.

To each, his own. I love both fighters for their very high boxing IQ.

double KO would be hysterical doe

Doesn't sound like they are eliminating anything to me and I don't think Cotto can beat Lara.

[MisanthropicNY]

The WBA needs to eliminate itself. WBA is talking like Cotto needs the crappy little alphabet org.

I wouldn't fight Lara if I were Coto... the guy just runs and wins rounds doing nothing... I had him losing like 10-2 vs Canelo, he lost to Carlos Molina and was losing to Vanes..

Lara is a cancer in boxing... Cotto would be better off fighting a big name for a pay day and call it a day..

So Lara is not moving to 160?

Well thenI am sure Cotto Will then give him a shot at the jmw title provided it Will take place at 148.

i like this fight. one eventually will have to come out of their comfort zone. it could get very interesting

[Chrismart]

I actually like this fight. I think it's a tough fight for Cotto at this stage in his career, although i'd probably pick him to win a close fight.

It is a real risk though, and maybe the kind of match-up style wise Cotto won't want to take with being at the back end of his career.

Does this mean they are intending on ordering Golovkin/Jacobs at some point?
