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

Pretty funny since Cotto & Roach criticized Canelo for fighting Kirkland. Cotto's turning down a chance to fight Lara for a title to face a badly faded Kirkland or an over the hill little Marquez.

Not a good fight for Cotto.
Kirkland is a big guy. IF the fight happens I got Kirkland.

Big guy with a weak chin. If Cotto survives the initial onslaught (which is a considerable "if"), he'll pick Kirkland apart.

Nevertheless, I don't understand why Cotto wants this fight. Even if he wins impressively...so what?

As everyone knows, Lara is a stylistic nightmare for Cotto who brings no money to the table. It would likely be an unexciting fight too...not crowd-pleasing. I can understand turning down that fight.

Maybe Cotto needs to face someone big, hittable, and vulnerable to refuel before going after a more significant challenge.

Yeah Cotto, when asked about Canelo's performance against kirkland stated that he wasn't surprised at the outcome because of the level of opponent. Now the washed up rican wants a match up with said opponent. Cornball.

Miguel "maricon" cotto is such a maricon

Always going after washed up, finished fighters i n between getting him ass whopped by elites every few years

[NapalmKnuckles]

2 marquee names back to back. James is sitting pretty right now. After Cotto washes him he should just cash all the way out and fight GGG for 1 last 6 figure check. Dude would get 3 huge checks for less than 12 rounds of work.

Canelo needs to step in here and stop his two kids from fighting.
