Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: We're Back on 6/7, With or Without Martinez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gabriel Peñagarícano, the legal adviser of former three division world champion Miguel Cotto (38-4, 31KOs), says the Puerto Rican star is going to return on June 7th at New York's Madison Square Garden - with or without WBC middleweight king Sergio Martinez (51-2-2, 28KOs).

Cotto has officially passed on a $10 million dollar offer to face Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on March 8th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - and officially made it clear, in an earlier article on BoxingScene.com, that Martinez is his main target for the June date.

Martinez and Cotto are both great fighters and I would definitely love to watch them fight each other. But thinking about it, I don't know how Martinez is going to have enough time to prepare for a serious fight by June considering the fact that he won't be medically cleared to start training until February. I wish Martinez the best and hope that they don't rush or pressure him into anything so he may have a fair chance to defend the title he worked so hard to earn.

It'll happen. I read on RBR that Sergio said yes to the Cotto fight.

Totally meaningless for Cotto but that would be fun as hell to watch. I would imagine Cotto would want a belt or a much bigger name for his fight.

We all wish Martinez the best -- but to date is difficult to say what's "best" for him...

IMO Sergio won't fight him w/out a tune up...being off so long w/multiple injuries...when they do fight he beats Cotto, unless he's lost that much...

[Realizniguhnit]

If not Martinez im pretty sure Canelo will be ready in june assuming he wins in March..
