Is Cotto ready for the winner of Castillo vs Corrales?

Vote and state your opinion.


I think Castillo is going to beat Corrales.

So if Castillo and Cotto are to fight I think Castillo will win by KO. I don't think Cotto can take Castillo's punch because Cotto couldn't take Corley's punch. So I say Castillo wins by KO.

Cotto doesn't want it with castillo or corrales. I don't think he is ready to handle corrales's power or the arsenal that castillo brings when he steps in to the ring... :boxing:

Thats hard to say Cotto was over aggressive with Chop Shop Coreley, and he got rocked by a hook he didnt see, but Corley never hurt him again, he was a decent chin, Corley can bang.

Wow I cannot believe some of you. First off, Jose Castillo is BIG. He is not much smaller than Cotto at all, and has had KO wins at 147 lbs. Cotto's strength is not much greater than Castillo's, if at all. Castillo will prove to be too tough for Cotto if they ever fight, especially at 140 because then Jose does not have to drain himself but Cotto still does.

Corrales is overrated sometimes, but he can beat Cotto as well. His power is PLENTY good enough to KO Cotto. Bet on that.

I agree Cotto should not be fighting in the 140lb devision. It seems like Cotto and Trinidad are reading the same manuel script for succes. They are both fighting apponents that are much smaller than them. First Trinidad fought Mayorga and no Winky. I wonder when Cotto and Tito are going to fight a legit fighter in their own weight class.

Where did Cotto say this, and if its true, atleast he wants to fight Corrales, unlike Morales who ducked him, Trinidad been moved up in weight taking people bigger than him.

I think the interview that said cotto would fight the winner.. was just have asking a theorhetical question. It asked him how would a fight between cotto and corrales/castillo play out? And I dont think Trinidad intends on calling out smaller guys. It just so happens that he's going for the big money fights and there are none at middleweight..Other than hopkins

Hell I always thought cotto was a chump. Its not just because Corley was giving him a beating and then the ref stop the fight prematurely. Cotto could have gotten KOd in the later rounds of that fight because he was going to get tired.He had trouble making weight, he had to get weighed in like 3 or 4 times before he made the weight.We was just fortunate that the ref won the fight for him. Of course since he was fighting in Purto Rico
we all knew they were not going to let Cotto lose. Cotto is a chump and is just being blown up mostly by HBO.

I believe casamayor won the fight against castillo, and he didn't get his rightful decision, but do you really want to see cotto fight casamayor, you see what happened in his last fight with a southpaw...Cotto is just like cintron, good but not of the elite class of fighters and we will all see him go out on his back once he steps up to that class...

Corley was never KO'd, and it was a pretty heated fight, with Cotto showboating, against Casamayor he would be smart, both are slick, small guys, Puerto Ricans should only fight the best, like they've been doing since we started with boxing.

IMO Cotto would defeat both. Cotto's dance against CHop occurred because he got sloppy because he was overconfident due to his weight advantage. The commentators kept saying it during the early rounds that Cotto's was not fighting the way he is used to. And he payed and could have costed him too much. But he survived and Chopped Chop and that's what counts.

I think that Cotto is one of those fighters that keeps fighting the best available opponents. I can not say that Cotto called out the winner of CAstillo-Corrales fight but if he did probably was meaning that he fights whomever, whenever. Cottos division is full of big names and records. It can't stay like that for a long time and it's already clearing (Mayweather-Gatty, Tyszu-Hatton). All these are superior on the paper to Cotto but if he wants to prove that he is one of the best then he has to fight them. No dishonor in losing to any of them so long he provides good opposition. But first things first, Abdualev then Harris, then the rest.

What, like Castillo and Corrales don't walk around near 160 pounds themselves. Castillo has even fought at 147 for three fights and then dropped to 135 to fight Lazcano, remember? Castillo came in around 160 for those fights, too. And Corrales has been called the next great middleweight for a while because he also drains himself too much for fights. He's 6 feet tall for Christ's sake! I've seen his interviews on ********** and he always says it is hard for him to make weight and he will probably end up fighting at 154. I think this will be his last fight at 135 and then he'll move up to 140 regardless.

They are both fighting apponents that are much smaller than them. First Trinidad fought Mayorga and no Winky.

Why not? If he can make the weight, just like Corrales did for 130 and does for 135, and Castillo did for his fight against Lazcano (where he stepped into the ring at 18 pounds over the limit) then why shouldn't Cotto fight at 140? BTW, I don't remember anyone *****ing about Castillo coming in so heavy that day. Nobody *****es about Gatti, either. Remember the Gamache fight? Yeah, what a bunch of hypocrites.

As for Winky and Tito, Winky was the one who called Tito out, not the other way around. I don't blame him, either, since that's where the money is. He wanted to go up to Middleweight a while back and fight Hopkins before DLH did, remember? Winky as fought at 154 his whole career, it's time he moved up.

You're missing the point....

There's just something quite ridiculous about a guy who fights at 140, while weighing nearly 160.....calling out guys who fight at 135. Whether they weigh more than that at fight time is irrelevant.
Cotto should call out 140lbers.

He should be calling out the winner of Tszyu-Hatton.

Actually, I believe he doesn't call anyone out, he lets his managers decide. That being said, Arum, who does the calling outs, is calling out the winner of Gatti - Mayweather. How's that for staying in your division? Also, what's the difference between Cotto, Corrales, and Castillo? If you're talking about the weight they walk around at or they come into the ring then not much. They are about the same size so why not call them out?

came in around 160 for those fights, too.

Castillo has never (and by never I mean never ever) weighed within 6 lbs of 160 on any given fight night. 153 lbs is not "around" 160. It's "around" 150. 153 IS what it IS...153. Castillo does come in very big for 135 but that doesn't mean Cotto should call him out.

In any case, I can't believe the nerve of some of you. Castillo will not have to drain himself like Cotto will to make weight at 140, so if Cotto fights Castillo at 140, Cotto wll lose. He will simply get tired from the weight issue and Castillo will not.

As for Corrales, he has pleny enough power to stop Cotto. You guys will find out the hard way.

I remember when Castillo fought Lazcano and came in 18 pounds over the weigh in on the DLH - Sturm undercard. Everyone was picking Lazcano because Castillo had to drain himself to make that fight and look what happened. So, to say that a fighter who has to drain himself to make weight will lose automatically is a fallacious statement.

Also, when he fought Corral, the fight after his second Mayweather loss, he walked into the ring at 160 pounds (the official weight was 147, tho).

As for Corrales having the power to KO Cotto, I do believe he does but he'd have to get into the late rounds to do it and I think Cotto would take him out before that. Corrales doesn't exactly have the best chin in the business.

No one said that means an automatic win for Castillo. It's just one reason why he would win. Others being that he is relentless and has an awesome chin.

Weighing in at 135, Castillo has never came in at 160 or within 6 lbs of it. We are not talking welterweight fights here.

Cotto's chin is just as questionable as Corrales, and Corrales has much more experience vs better fighters than Cotto has. Big power is only one reason Cotto would probably lose to Corrales.

After watching corley run from those punches cotto threw, and get literally thown to the ground with a hook id say Cotto has the potential to knock out just about anyone in the light welterweight devision or lower, and as for his skills, i think he's one of the most technically sound boxers out there. he might not win every fight he's in, but i can definitly see him being champ some time in the future.

Yea I agree Puerto Rico's boxing scene is currupt. They give their fighters the win all the time. They stopped the Cotto-Corley fight way to soon and they also robbed Margarito when he fought against Santos. No fighter should go to Puerto Rico and fight because thats an automatic loss.

i think cotto's stock has fallen because of the fight with corley everybody seems to think that he can get koed by anyone. i look at it difrently 1st. off he got nailed dead on his temple it had nothing to do with power i don't care what boxer you are or what boxer hits you if you get nailed in the temple you are going to get wobeled. i think he re-acted very well for a young fighter being hurt for the 1st. time . cotto ha alot of potential and he will only get better. a give a better shot against corales because cotto has alot of power and corales was knocked down 5 times vs. mayweather and a couple of times in his 1st. fight against casamayor neither of those guys have the power that cotto has plus i think cotto is a better boxer. the castillo fight would be alot tougher i really can't see him wining because castillo has a granite chin and the expirience factor this i apply to BOTH fights

The ref was Mexican, and Santos slaped Margarito off the Island, get over it, Mexicans are the king of robberys, when compared to us.

Santos looked scared and confused that Marguarito was still coming forward.

Backwards bro, Margarito was scared and confused cause Santos stood infront of him, which he wasnt supposed or said he was gonna do, that why everybody was shocked cause Santos said he doesnt care about pleasing the fans, Margarito allways comes foward, note that twice he got cut in the same place, to lose both times, over the same ****, against the same guy.

From what I saw dude in the late rounds before stopping, Santos was sticking and moving. He was using the ring and looked like he was running out of breath. I detected a sense of panick in him and saw relief when the stoppage came. I'm not hating that's seriously how I interpreted it.

they were doing him, and the fans a favor, cause what you dont remenber is the cut happening two or so rounds before the stoppage, the annoucers touched on the subject that it could/should be stoped earlier than it was, I remenber both in trouble a couple times, and Santos being the champion, Margarito didnt do nearly enough to get a win.

The only reason that Margarito didn't KO Santos is because that little ***** came into the ring 15lb heavier. If not for his weight Margarito would have KOd his ass.

Santos wasnt over 15lb, stop using that as an excuse, and if he did, so do many, you are like a girl who crys too much, two times they gave him a chance, unlike you Mexicans, Puerto Ricans dont hold fighters hands, if he were to lose a 3rd time, you'll still rant for your "baby".

Actually, I had Santos ahead by one point at the time of stoppage, and so did the other 3 Mexicans I was watching the fight with. It's all a matter of how you score a fight: effective punching, power punching, the other fighter being staggered, what have you. So, in my opinion, Santos didn't rob Margarito, Margarito didn't do enough.

Also, I don't know if you remember, but while Santos was only wabbled in one round (the fourth, I believe, at the end on the ropes), Margarito was hurt four times and I thought he was going to get his ass KO'd. Santos did come into the fight at 170, tho, so he was a bit heavy. Margarito was 165 if I remember correctly.

All this buzz cuz Cotto said he would welcome them....What did you expect him to say if they ask him about their fight and ask him if he would fight them...But like I said before, by the time Chico and Castillo are at welter, Cotto will be at 147..

Dude Castillo said that The Corrales fight might be his last fight at 135lb (maybe one more) and then he will go up to 140lb. So this fight could happen. I doubt that Cotto wants to move up any time soon because Margarito is up their and im sure that Margarito will call him out.

So there is a chance that Castillo and Cotto could meet at 140lb. Hopefully they do meet it would be a great fight and would give us boxing fans something to look forward too. This fight would be good for boxing, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans always give good fights.

I think that Chico is more talented than Miguel and Jose but that doesn't mean he'll win.

I think Castillo will once again use his toughness, aggession and great stamina to smother Chico's offense as he always does and pound the strength out of his body enroute to a decision win.

If he then went on to meet Cotto ... I know that Castillo is probably more comfortable at 140 than 135 but Cotto is probably more comfortable at 154!

I like Cotto in a decision victory because he's just too big for em.
