    Bring on Cotto already, no need to waste time with subpar opponents

    Cotto needs time to recover after Floyd, the best option is stick in Lara, a quality powerful counter-puncher with speed.

    Would make for a great fight.

    Canelo/Kirkland probably the most aesthetically pleasing then you have Canelo/Molina on the opposite end of that.

    I want him to fight Miguel, but he's most likely going to fight kirkland first.
