Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto vs. Sadam Ali Finalized For December 2, HBO

[Tatabanya]

A fight against Saddam Hussein would have been more interesting.

the best vs the best, thank you hbo

sadam ali isnt even ranked by the wbo (at 147 or 154) or had a fight at 154

Oh yes, and neither was Kamegai and that ended up being for the vacant title lololololol

I sincerely hope Ali can put it together for one ****ing night, tighten up his defence and school the dead average Cotto

Matthyssee was offered the fight and turned it down. Steve Kim reported yesterday

According to Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy Promotions, Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson, James Kirkland, Errol Spence Jr. and Lucas Matthysse either declined this opportunity to face Cotto or simply were not available.

Yea they all turned down great offers i assume lol. Im not taking their word on it based on Cotto last opponent. Steve Kim is a Golden Boy shill.

This ^ they probably had to sign slave contracts to Golden Boy

I'd love to have seen Lamont school Cotto. Speaking of Matthysse, put him in the bin of mismanaged fighters with Kell Brook. He should have stuck with Haymon. GB have done absolutely nothing for Matthysse, gross mismanagement

Cotto signed with GB to fight ****ty opposition. 2 **** fights back to back by Cotto and GB. Yet Oscar keeps saying he wants the best to fight the best. Oscars talks crap about other fights but puts on this ****, along with Canelos past fights before GGG. He's only willing to make fights with other promoters when he knows his fighters will win. If the shoe was on the other foot and Arum asked options on one of his fighters to make a fight, would Oscar agree to that?

Miguel Cotto is one of my favorite fighters and this upsets me, to go out against Sadam Ali, wish he would have fought GGG.

weak azz move

Fight David Lemieux or Billy Joe Saunders Come on man

[juandabomb]

this guy has always been overrated..his biggest win was 10 yrs ago vs mosley and that was a close sd. garbage

[Butch.McRae]

Looks like people are finally starting to acknowledge that GBP is a **** operation lol

It should be renamed Alvarez Promotions, because nobody else has benefited from signing with them since Richard left.

When Saunders ends Lemuiex, they'll literally one fighter that people recognize. They have Berchelt but he hasn't gotten any pub which is a shame.

True that, has only won vacant belts against weak opposition. The only actual champs he beat were both crippled, Yuri Foreman and Martinez.

Lol wtf at 154?
