So, Cotto is back in the ring (this Saturday, I believe) against Rodriguez.

Cotto's first fight with Freddie Roach.

Thoughts?

The one i am looking forward to seeing here in a couple of months is Froch vs Groves.

I must admit am a froch fan , say what you like you get your money's worth from his fights ( you realise I watch them for free so that's a bit of a two faced comment )

[vandeleur]

As for the cotto fight is it to obvious to think this is a straightener to get cotto back to winning ways ?

Am hearing khan mayweather may in Vegas ??? Thoughts ?

Khan's speed may give Floyd trouble early on, but I don't see Khan lasting more than a few rounds once Floyd figures him out and cracks him in that glass jaw a time or two.

Ditto

Same .... The ayes have it . Khan leaves with a sack of money and no head .

[jhale667]

Agree, Khan will get a huge payday for having the beat shit out of him.

I used to think this. But I genuinely think that Khan won't be able to get close enough to Floyd to use his handspeed - it would be a complete mismatch, and if it went 12 rounds it would only be because Floyd wanted it too.

I'd be amazed if they do it in Vegas - I suspect that Floyd wants to do a UK fight (because the ticket sales would be huge).

Me too. Froch always gives value for money.

Apparently Froch used Groves in sparring for his preparations for the last Kessler fight, and Groves beat the shit out of him. Now sparring ain't fighting, but I do think that Groves might be all wrong for flat-foot Froch.

True. The question is what does Cotto have left?

Enough to entertain, not enough to actually matter, that is my guess.

[TFM_Dale]

All Khan is is next, the better question is who steps up after that?

[binnie]

Team Mayweather have refuted claims that Khan is next.

I suspect that Garcia might get the nod (makes sense for 5/5). If Bradley beats JMM, it might be him. That's a big 'if' though.....
