Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto-James Kirkland in Play For June 18 at Barclays

[QballLobo]

Roc Nation needs someone with a decent amount of name recognition that won't demand too much money since they are already overpaying Cotto for his name.
PPV? GGG's PPV buys will look good compared to this one.

yeah that fight was more interesting then cotto vs kirkland.

Umm know. Everyone knew GGG was gonna beat him. And Pepe had ZERO shot of winning. Kirkland is bigger than Cotto and has KO power in both hands. Before he went to prison a lot of ppl liked him. He's not that bright though! If Ann Wolfe trains him I give him about a 30-40% chance of beating Cotto. It all depends on him though...

So Kirkland doesn't fight for years, gets KTFO badly, and gets rewarded by getting a possible fight with Cotto.

I understand Cotto is coming off a loss, but there isn't a better fight other than this?

NO

Kirkland is shot. Training with Wolfe can't change that. Kirkland is not a serious fighter. He's still eating off that Tapia win.

His new trainer didn't even know the simplest thing as keeping your fighter warm instead of letting him get cold before the bell.

On some fighters, shit like that matters.

This dude always trying to justify all of jotos bs fights

wolfe makes a hella difference.

I was hoping for the provo fight. Good match up but something about the lawsuit etc won't let it happen....

I was hoping for that because maybe it could open the doors for a Cotto vs Boo Boo fight.

I don't know why he doesn't avenge the Trout loss.

I get its PR parade weekend and you want Cotto to get a win. It would be refreshing if Cotto could fight a JMW like a charlo or Williams or someone who could actually benefit from the shine of a cotto fight.

Ok that would work as well. again, its PR day parade weekend and I get you want Cotto to get a win.

Cause he will get outboxed again.
