So who's COTTO fighting in JUNE?!?!?!

Evangelista Cotto confirmed in a PR newspaper today that Top Ranks wants Zan Judah for the June 9 fight, he'd have to pull out of his April fight though.

Yeah, don't count on Cotto-Mosley for June, though I thought it was weird that he went out of his way to mention he wanted to fight again in June (he said June then July then June again, which leads me to believe he was thinking specific dates). The Top Rank/GBP thing isn't just going to vanish in the next couple of months so that fight can be made, although that would be awesome. After the Pac situation is handled in the courts, then maybe, just maybe they will start to THINK about working with each other on big fights. Don't bet on it. I think Cintron is a possibility, but not the Margarito-Williams winner, it will be too soon after a grueling fight. Dan Rafael reported Friday that an offer was out to Zab Judah for the fight, and he may pull out of the ESPN2 fight on April 27 as a result.

I just read that its a possibility, but I still say it wont happen because if Mosley loses to Cotto the Mayweather fight is pretty much out of the question. Itd be nice to see Cotto in there against Mosley though.

Cintron-Cotto could be a WAR! I would love to see that. If cintron is really as improved as they say he is w/ emanuel steward, that would be an awsome fight. And williams-cotto is the best COTTO fight out there. I think they are good friends so I don't see that happening.

This is what happens when you make specific dates to fight on half a year in advance. De La Hoya always does May and September, Cotto always does June. Stop reserving dates already.

Mosley wont fight Cotto. He wants Mayweather and thats it. When Mosley said that he was back coming to the 147 division, he said he wanted to fight Cotto. If my memory is correct, there was an article where Shane asked to fight Cotto and Arum said that Cotto had to do his mandatory first, and then offered a fight with margarito instead. Cotto vs Mosley could be made if Arum and Oscar put their differences away from this.

I just hope Cotto gets someone other than urkal. It would be gutting to have the margarito fight almost a done deal then get Cotto vs 38 year old former contender instead. I mean, i know boxing is two men in a ring...but Urkal would have next to no chance against Cotto.

Watch Cintron Vs Cotto happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Williams challenges Cotto. Cintron-Cotto could be a WAR! I would love to see that. If cintron is really as improved as they say he is w/ emanuel steward, that would be an awsome fight. And williams-cotto is the best COTTO fight out there.

Tough call man. You could say Margarito but I doubt that. I'm not sure when Margarito/Williams is going to take place. Then again if Margarito wants the respect he feels he's been denied all these years, he should fight Mosley in June no matter when he fights Williams. The whole Cotto fighting in June situation is sort of like a puzzle that's not been put together yet. And to top it all off, there simply aren't enough pieces yet to complete that puzzle.

so who'll fight cotto? what are his options even?

Mosley wont fight Cotto. He wants Mayweather and thats it.

Oh fuck, I forgot. Mosley's been ducking Mayweather for the past decade, that's right!:ugh:

I'm hoping it's either Cotto or Mayweather, once Mayweather stops that whole "I'm retiring after Oscar because I'm the best" bullshit. If Mayweather beats De La Hoya, it's be a natural desire to fight Mosley, well, for any true champion anyway....

Ahhhhh, I see, thanks for clearing that up for me. Well at this stage, with Mosley and Cotto both wanting a fight in June, and Mosley having put on such a vintage performance last night, I'd say it's almost a shoe-in. That's if Jin Mosley doesn't stick her ugly ass nose into Shane's business....

Last I heard he was fighting that Oktay Urkal guy, or however the fuck he spells his name. Fuck, he could be fighting Steve Urkal for all I know... yea but thats in march. He says hes fighting in JUNE as well, and he already has a date set aside for MADISON SQUARE GARDEN with a TBA opponent. Whos it gonna be?
