Nope... Kirkland is completely and totally overrated... the only reason he even won his last fight was because Angulo punched himself out... he EASILY was knocked down by that short little right hand and a harder punching Alvarez would KO and expose him IMO.
He still beat him. And showed a tremendous amount of intestinal fortitude doing so. I'd favor Canelo, but I'd love to see the fight.

If Canelo was promoted by Don King, they'd wheel out Mayorga.
Meh. I'd rather watch Mayorga than Bundrage.

Why should Cotto fight in Vegas? The fight is much bigger in the Garden and would sell many more seats. And don't forget Cotto is the one with the proven PPV track record.


Obviously I don't know the real figures but I have heard promoters talk about how it costs a bomb to rent out somewhere like MSG especially on specific months of the year,  whilst the promoters usually have great deals with the casino/hotel owners in Vegas.  If it ends up in Vegas that will be the reason why.


MSG would be ideal if that fight come off IMO.  The atmosphere would be electric.

Maidana tweeted that he is fighting Canelo on September 15th. That's a joke of a fight if true.
