    Oh my God, would you guys stop making silly comments like this? Do you really think either guy is ducking anyone? Come on now. These two are looking to make the biggest money fights for themselves. If it would occur with each other and the promoters could make it happen, it would be happening.

    Go read what Rudy Hernandez said to Robert Garcia. This Cotto - Garcia fight just might be possible. Cotto is a huge name, his opponents are paid well and is at the end of his career. Who around 147 wouldn't want to fight him at this point?

    Didn't he just get married?

    Not easy to emerge from under the warm comforting cover of a new wife's perfumed skirts to begin absorbing savage punches to the face again-numbsayin? Permit the euphorious ambience of the honeymoon wear off a little before demanding he go through the meat grinder again fer cryin out loud! Once that happens and they are going for each other's throats as marrieds usually do, then it is very likely that Keith will be more than happy to oblige.

    Why are people so down on One Time? I was unconvinced at one point but the guy looks the goods.

    I want to see him Crawford/Spence in 2018.

    Mikey eating burgers non-stop to put on the 20lbs needed to fight the twitching corpse of Cotto is easy work for him.

    Thurman reminds me alot of ben henderson from the ufc. He talks a way bigger game then you see in the cage or ring.
    He can lose and receive a gift dec and then hes up in the cage/ring telling you why he won.....and you didnt see it at all.
    Long haired q u e e r s the both of them.

    I dunno, the dsg fight was close. Porter outlanded thurman, outjabbed him on the outside and borderline mauled him on the inside.

    I had Keith winning both of those fights pretty easily so can't see where you're coming from.

    The talk about Roy jones and how it made him more of legend going to heavyweight but they failed to mention how it affected his career after, if Garcia fights at 154 he will have a real hard time making 135 again. They should just wait for linares that would be a big fight if he gets the win against Campbell witch I expect he will.

    Mikey and Robert Garcia saying they're seriously willing to fight Cotto or even reaching out to discuss the fight doesn't mean it's "in the works". No way Cotto gives Mikey the time of day. Why would he fight him? And in his last fight? Cotto will want a challenging enough fight but a name welterweight or light middleweight who doesn't have a a great chance to win.
