    Cotto will land cleanly on Kirklands chin, how many times can kirkland keep getting up.

    This would be nothing less than a great fight, But I really fear that if Cotto doesn't get him out in the first half of the fight Kirkland might stop him later in the fight.

    Cotto will destroy Kirkland, Kirkland is a one dimensional c-class fighter, and will get exposed once again by anyone not stupid enough to slug it out and brawl with him..........Cotto KO 3

    There's seems like a lot of fights around that weight class the could be made that would all have question marks around them.

    You've got Kirkland, Cotto, Chavez, Canelo, Angulo, Martinez - Mayweather can get in the mix if he wanted to (he won't).

    I see it the same way. I think Cotto has to start quick and fight similarly to the most recent Margarito fight - remain defensively aware, fire out that jab (it really is such a weapon), explode with counters and fast combinations and don't sit around admiring your work. Then it all comes down to if Kirkland can eat Cotto's shots and keep coming.

    I think Cotto could do a lot of damage fighting like this and force a stoppage - however, i'm not sure he could sustain this against a stronger and harder punching fighter for 12 rounds, and if he didn't manage to get Kirkland out of there he'd end up wilting under his pressure - because that guy won't stop coming

    Why didn't yall idiots overrate Kirkland, even though I feel Cotto is over rated himself, but he'll crack Kirkland glass jaw pretty easily, if he fight the some way he fought Marg

    Doesn't look like many people give Kirkland any chance at all against Cotto.... i think it'll be a great fight though but it definitely isn't going the distance.

    Cotto gets KTFO. Cotto has moderate power and will not be able to withstand Kirklands power. Cotto is a nice little fighter but let's be real. Kirkland isn't no one legged jew or Micheal Jennings.

    Cotto by ud or possible late stoppage...

    Kirkland is overrated and still suspect...
