Bob Arum Says That If They Cant Come To Agreement For A Diego Vs Castillo Rematch Or Cant Agree On A Weight That He Will Move Right To Cotto...bring It On Castillo...another Great Aztec Vs. Taino Matchup!but Im Pretty Sure That There Will Be A Trilogy ,but Cotto And Castillo Will Clash Soon.i Think It Will Be A Great War!!!plus The Puertorico And Mexico Rivalry Would Be A Huge Ppv Draw!
if cotto takes this fight, his career will be over.
castillo's got more stamina, a better chin, more power, and more heart.
castillo by KO.
That's exactly what I was thinking..well to be honest Cotto has a lot of heart.. But it wouldn't enough. It could be different if Cotto wasn't being hit and hurt so much in his last few fights. This would just be disasterous against a strong puncher like Castillo. If he tries to out slug Castillo there will be an "L" on his record.
All I hear is Cotto, Cotto...hes great, hes grand.
All I see is Cotto getting wobbled all the time. By guys that hit hard and by guys that dont.
Castillo the Taco King can take anything cotto throws for long enough to put this pretender on the mat.
Now I no why you dont post much Baya (just kidding).
First off I agree with you that this fight sounds good on paper and is fun to talk about but Arum is most likely not going to let it happen.
Second, I dont believe a third fight is going to happen anytime soon, I think Corrales's people need to do whats best for their fighter and throwing him back at Castillo is not whats best for their fighter. At the very very minimum he needs a year before another fight with JL, at the very minimum.
Third, since when is fighting a guy like Ricky Hatton a tune-up?
Fourth, Cotto boxing somones ass off...Cotto is a warrior and he is not hard to hit either...these two factors tell me one thing...Cotto is not going to box anyone's ass off. The fight is a guranteed war, so dont fool yourself...I like Cotto but he is no master boxer...keep in mind Cotto will show Castillo nothing he hasnt seen a zillion times before, listen to Floyd Mayweather talk about JL, he said that Castillo did things in the ring (crafty/tricky things) that no fighter has ever done against him.
Baya...p4p the most level headed Puerto Rican on the site (boruc is good too), remember it's partially my job to keep it that way!
actually, i don't post as much because u've developed the inability to detect my sarcasm, yes, hatton is no tune up, scap. TA DA!!!
we all know that boxing is a tricky sport and i just have this feeling that castillo being put in against cotto would have cotto on his toes and put on a show, hand speed, countering and body work.
you know how i know this?
fuck ... what was the answer to that .....
on a side note - OldGringo - that was some real honest sentiments about cotto as of late.
this fight won't take place - if it did - cotto boxes his ass off for a UD. arum wouldn't pit two of his most decorated fighters, coming off BIG wins against each other, not now. the 3rd fight will be made, and if theres a wait in the interim - castillo'll have a tune-up or something against hatton.

Dont be tired of hearing that Cotto was hurt worse in the Corley fight because its the truth.
Cotto turned his back and started dancing against Corely...sure we can split hairs about when he was more hurt but you have to admit it would be tough to argue against how hurt he was against Corely...

I'd have to see Castillo mix it up with some solid 140lbers before picking between he & Cotto.
If Castillo is real close to what he is at 135....I think he beats Cotto.
I understand the being realistic part.His performances certainly have warranted that ,and i had my doubts,but I like him more now even than i did before,his weakneses are there,but damn,he comes thru.I could see cotto getting hurt,but putting cotto away has proven to be a diffrent thing entirely.
And besides the fact I was never really impressed with castillo,i dont discredit any of his wins,but until he KO'ed corrales,I was never impressed.He's tough as hell,but cotto has fought tough guys,tough plodding guys,and strong guys,he's actually done better against those types,than on the type of fighters who hang back and make cotto work more.Castillo's win was impressive as hell and all,but it was one fight,ask this question after the first corrale-castillo and youd get diffrent answers.
I like cotto by mid to late tko.
Yeah,but thats the buissness.I think he'd have pretty good success at 147 tho.As long as he dosent overstay at 140.Hopefully those big fights will come soon,but with floyd moving up to 147,Cotto might not have to wait long to make the jump.
Mech.=Mexican cotto fan ;)
Im so tired of hearing that shit,Cotto was hurt worse in the Torres fight and and he took some very flush shots,what finaly put cotto on the canvas was getting pulled down by torres.Yes it was because torres hurt him,but it wasnt even a punch that put him down..Give cotto a little credit.

Possible Castillio and cotto
He's a light skin black guy..But yeah, he's not 100% West African or anything lol..
You are about one dumb muthafucka, Cotto isn't even close to being black...
Cotto is stronger & bigger then Castillo. I don't see Castillo knocking Cotto out with one punch. I see Cotto winning this by late TKO.
I don't mind seeing Ricardo Torres facing Castillo, that will also be an interesting fight.
I agree.
Cotto's punishment on Castillo will be too much to handle.
I'd love to see Castillo get KTFO cuz he's a cheatin fat ass basterd!
I've become a lot more realistic about Cotto as of late, I now realize that his success against elite fighters will come at higher weights if at all.

I think making 140 is killing him.
Yeah,but thats the buissness.I think he'd have pretty good success at 147 tho.As long as he dosent overstay at 140.Hopefully those big fights will come soon,but with floyd moving up to 147,Cotto might not have to wait long to make the jump.
i think tha mexican and puerto rican opinoions here are all biased, so lets ask tha others? wat yall think? since there opinos prolly wont be biased...

And one more thing if Cotto gets rocked like he did against Corley, Castillo will put him to sleep.

he got some black lips and nose and hair... are you mexicano/chicano?

I dont mean to get into this feud. But Cotto isnt "black".....
Government assisstance gave you free cheese but no free classes on litteracy, or what? lol I really don't think I could have typed it more clear..
I dont mean to get into this feud. But Cotto isnt "black"
Because the Central American Native is built like that, why you think? But the only talented PR fighter does in fact have to be black, the rest of you don't really matter but it's ok because they aren't dumb enough to get into the ring anyways lol..
the truth
Exactly, it would be funnier, if it wasnt so sad. I've tried to be nice, and logical, but he doesnt understand that you dont have to be unrealistically biased towards or against a certain fighter, just because of what ethnicity he is. Sad, almost tragic.
COULD NOT have said that any better!!!!
bravo, bravo
Haha, as long as I piss you off I'm ok with it...
Not anymore my friend, you can say/do whatever you want, I wont allow an ignorant person to piss me off. I grew up a long time ago, you should consider doing the same.
I'd be happy to see this fight happen, fireworks guaranteed.

I think everyone in this site has at one point or another. With facts and everything and its like on his screen all he sees is a blank page. It is sad, he does more of a disservice to the great boricuan fighters of the past and its fans.
