Comments Thread For: Cotto: Kirkland is The Best Name Out There For Me To Fight

[wrecksracer]

Really? A guy coming off a loss is his best possible fight? 154 is a stacked division. I don't see Cotto losing this fight, but I hope he does.

I can name at least 5 better opponents..but he is cotto and has done enough to do and choose who he wants to fight..I wouldn't be salty about this fight had he not made that ****** weight demand.

Even A-mere Can, would've been a better opponent....SMH

Right now fans seem more willing to see Cotto get a likely KO win then they would see him in a tougher fight with a ranked JMW or MW. I just am not going to buy a PPV where Kirkland is in the main event as he is a washed up bum.

Probably the one who can make the most money with he's very beatable... a good matchup for him, $$... he's lost 2 much time and was really only an average trailer his best days are behind him...

Except he knows Bradley, Brook, Charlo etc would likely box his ears off to yet another humiliating defeat ala Canelo, Trout. So he picks an ok but not great boxer, whom he thinks he can avoid direct punches from. It's a minor gamble, but really, this fight is all about the cash grab and nothing more. It serves nothing in furthering legacy status.

The Cotto Canelo fight was a very close fight and he was never "humiliated" in that fight. They both had their moments but Canelo was too big for Cotto. The Trout fight was an "off night" type of fight for Cotto or maybe he underestimated him.

Maybe he is using this fight to gauge his current status and if he wins go for one more risk fight before hanging his gloves.

Cotto may not have one all of his important fights but we all have to tip our hats to him for fighting all the big names during their prime.

I don't blame him for not taking on GGG as he is too big and the money was with the Canelo fight.

Kirkland is the right fight for him at this present time....
