Comments Thread For: Lemieux Waiting on Word From Miguel Cotto on December Fight

[AdonisCreed]

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight go down!!! Would like to see Cotto vs BJS so he can take that strap and retire!!

[Kiowhatta]

Cotto can barely blow himself up to 160, let alone fight a bona fide MW who throws combinations with real intent.
If it wasn't for the weight discrepancy, it could be a good matchup.

Maybe Cotto v Horn, Smith. There aren't that many possibilities presenting themselves.

I love me some cotto!! But David L will beat Cotto..

[angkag]

Hmm.....final fight.....want to go out with a ****......some easy money.....no risk of getting more brain damage.....

.......Khan

Thank you sir for being realistic and making sense

That's coherent with what I've heard earlier today. I was listening to Réjean Tremblay earlier today on the radio, a Montreal journalist who is an "insider" for the Quebec/Montreal boxing scene. Réjean said that he has spoken recently to Camille Estephan (the head of Eye of the Tiger Management EOTTM, Lemieux's promoter). I don't exactly know what's the deal between EOTTM and GBP). Camille has told Réjean that Lemieux vs Cotto has a very slim chance of happening. However, HBO is apparently interested to have Lemieux headlining his own card on December 16th if the opponent is worthy. Réjean mentioned that BJS is a possibility but money and other demands could be an issue. Réjean mentioned that BJS has demanded around 2 mil and other demands but he didn't elaborate on those "other demands". To be honest, Réjean wasn't clear as to whether the 2 mil was his own speculation or what he's been told.

Réjean also said that Stevenson vs Jack still has a very good chance of happening

For those who speak french:

Interesting. I don't give much of a f#ck about Cotto anymore so I can't say I'm too interesting in what he does for his "retirement" fight whoever it happens to be against cuz idk that there is many compelling fights that Cotto would actual take with this Dec. 2 date. The Stevenson vs Jack stuff is a good fight & I hope it happens.

According to some Twitter buzz today, looks like Cotto's final opponent will be Sadam Ali.

You'd be surprised how many people in MTL blinded by their hate for Adonis (some of it warranted), not only do they want to see Adonis vs Alvarez, they think Alvarez would beat Adonis based of his wins against Bute and Pascal. Because he has been mandatory for over two years and because he just recently started making "real" money vs Bute and Pascal (low 6 figure purses), I'd want Alvarez to "cash out" against Stevenson. However, I don't think he'd win that fight and I'd rather see Stevenson vs Jack to be honest.
