I, for one, would be shocked if Oscar & Co. allow Canelo & Lara to meet at Dave & Buster's, let alone in the ring. As for Cotto, that ain't happening.

Watch it end up being a wild card out of left field like Ricardo Mayorga!

The Lara fight would be my preffered choice too. But I'm fine with Canelo facing Kirkland.

Agreed. It would be awesome though. I would love to see Lara having more exposure in the boxing world. His life story would be good addition to some 24/7s and he has a really good skill set ! Not happening tho. As for Cotto...not yet. |

GBP doesn't seem to mind when it comes to matching up their top guys...especially as of late. I wouldn't be surprised if they feed Kirkland to Canelo...it's not they haven't tried before (in the Angulo fight).
Ricardo Mayorga wouldn't be a bad fight, but honestly, Sergio's ass needs to be trying to secure a fight like that, since his past fights against Margarito, Cintron, and couple of other fighters have been long forgotten. |

There's literally nothing about Lara to put on 24/7. He had a failed defection from Cuba, and actually succeeded the second time. He had a great amateur career, but that's about it. |

Im all in for a krkland fight... A good test for both chins.. IMO.. this accident may have been the best thing for Canelo.. |

He had a great amateur career, but that's about it. 24/7 has worked with less I think Id like to see a good pressure fighter in their with Canelo.. Not just someone there to take an ass wooping If it werent for my bitter hatred for Margs and the fact I dont ever want him to get another title shot as long as he can still see I wouldnt mind seeing that type of test for him.. Lets petition for an Angulo fight? The guy is tough as nails and brings solid pressure..Totally winnable for Alvarez Lets admit, the kid can box, and he has decent pop.. but can he fight? He is there to be hit.. If GB wants to go ham go ahead and match him with Cotto..it is winnable, but you better believe Cotto will go out on his sheild...Huge PPV numbers on this one.. |

I wish the Williams fight would have gone through. Honestly, I dont really see Kirkland making it out of this fight, but the money would be great for him.

I dont know if 24/7 can do anything with Lara, honestly. Guerrero would have a better backstory for 24/7, than Lara. Also, I dont wanna see Margarito in another title fight either, but he does bring it when he fights. Too bad Bob is still alive and Toney probably has a lifetime contract with him, we may not see it. I would say that its too early for a Cotto/Canelo fight, but honestly, there's no time like the present. Cotto revived himself in his last fight, so he still has enough buzz to make a big fight with Canelo. Winnable? Quite possibly, but we could also see Canelo's skirt lifted because Cotto's movement and gameplan against Floyd was more than acceptable. |

He had a great amateur career, but that's about it. Well, there hasn't been a 24/7 from the Cuban perspective. Puerto Rico, U.S., Mexico....Cuba is missing and it could actually work in my opinion as its huge amateur background could fill one whole 24/7 episode. Plus the political situation + defection attempts, his stay in Germany...I think it's pretty solid actually. But he lacks the spark and charisma...I bet HBO would milk it to success though.
