If Cotto beats Mosley in November, which I think he will, who do you think he will fight on the eve of the Puerto Rican Parade this year?
Hatton-Mayweather winner?
If Mayweather beats Hatton tho, do you think Mayweather would fight him in NYC? I dont think so it would probably have to be in Vegas. I never thoght i would say this, but i want Hatton to beat Mayweather, which i dont think he will, so he can fight Cotto at MSG in June. What a fight and crowd that would generate. It would be fukin insane. Plus Cotto could put the first L onto Hatton's glossy record.
But besides Hatton/Mayweather, who else could he fight? Cintron/Clottey winner?
For the spanish speakers here, did you see the interview with Ricardo Torres after the Holt fight? They asked him what he wanted to do next and he said he want revenge against Miguel Cotto. I doubt that fight will happen but it would be pretty fun to watch. Cotto would probablt destroy him this time around tho.
he wont beat mosley anyway but if he did yea a fight with the winner of Hatton-Mayweather would be great
Hatton-Cotto is the fight i want too see sometime next year that would be a great fight
or what if DLH-Cotto got it on that would be good
If cotto beats mosley, the winner of mayweather-hatton would most likely be what the people wanna see cotto take next, its possible bob arum may also try to pit cotto against his another boxer, Margarito, what im worried about is a hatton victory might spoil any plans of a hatton-cotto bout as dela hoya may steal the spotlight away from cotto as he's been so obsessed in moving back down to 147 to call out hatton, dela hoya fights once a year (in May as always) and he gets title shots and the payday he wants without working his way to the top.
Cotto wont beat Mosley. I seriously think i might cry if he does. Shane's a living legend in my eyes. Easily one of the best of the past 10-15 years
I will send you a box of tissues befor the fight....
yeah sure he was in shape for a fight with an unknown, but not in shape for an 12 round fight with one of the best like cotto
Torres would get his as$ kicked by Cotto on any occasion. He got lucky caue Cotto underesItmated him in their fight. That would never happen again. He has his big chance but couldnt pull it off. He almost did, but didnt. He was in the ring against a Cotto who was weight drained, underestimated him, and took the fight on short notice. And he stll didnt pull it off.
Torres wont have that title for much longer either. Hate to break it too you bt Torres aint that good. Hes alright, bt will lose the title sooner rather than later. Holt will probably beat him in a rematch, which i think Torres will avoid.
O yea and Torres slacks on training all the time. Hes known for disapearing during training for a few days and turning his phone off so nobody can get a hold of him, and then showing up days later liek nothing happened. He always slacks on training, he did the same before the Holt fight.
yeah sure he was in shape for a fight with an unknown, but not in shape for an 12 round fight with one of the best like cotto
60/40 I'll kick your ass
Did RJJ say this???
Torres was already in shape when he got the notice to fight Cotto. He just found out in 2 weeks notice. It was right after his fight with Zazule, which he won easily and barely broke a sweat. He was already in shape, which is why he took the fight. Cotto didnt know he was fighting Torres either. He found out right when Torres did. Both were in shape and thought they were fighting each other later that December but decided to just do it then becasue they were both ready after Branco pulled out. As far as the 2 weeks thing, Cotto was at just as big a disadvantage.
And Cotto would just outbox the sh!t out of Torres. Torres has nothing on Cotto. Plus dont forget that was the weigh drained 140 pound version of Cotto, no the refreshed welterweight. Cotto would destroy Torres if they ever met again. Im lke 99.9% sure.
o yea i like your avatar, that sure was a nice push Torres put Cotto down with.

Forget about June...IF he beats Mosley and do good numbers, and Floyd beats Hatton...Oscar will say that Millie gave him the "OK" to fight Cotto on May 8th.
Yea i think Oscar is saying deffinatly not Cotto now, because thats who he actually plans on fighting. It will help hype the fight..."im going against my wife, she told me not to do it" blah blah blah. I really think Oscar is trying to do that. I dont wanna see Cotto-De La Hoya tho, i would prefer a fight vs a more active welterweight champion.
The MAIN reason he fights in NY is the puerto rican/cotto fans. The MAIN reason he doesn't fight in Vegas is because of the size of the gloves, or are you more informed about the situation than Bob Arum?
P.S. If Mayweather and Cotto do fight I would be elated to bet all the points I have on Mayweather if you want to match it with your points on Cotto, that should be great.
Im more informed than Bob Arum:)
Nah i dont care what old man Arum says, never believe a word that comes out of a promoters mouth. But yea im sre thats a minor reason, but liek you said the MAIN reason is the fans. Had Cotto had a fan base like that in the west coast i think the fight would be there, with the gloves rules the same as they are now.
thats not why he fights there
he fights in NY because its the biggest place on the east coast to fight. East Coast = Puerto Ricans which = Cotto fans. West Coast= Mexicans. Cotto fights on the east coast because his huge fan base is there. Plus the Puerto Rican Parade whch genereates millions of Puerto Ricans, is in NY on the eve of the night Cotto usually fights in NY.

If Cotto wins, he has my deepest respect and I will stop betting against him.

The reason that Cotto always fights in MSG is because they allow 8 oz. gloves, he would have to wear 10 oz. if he fought in Vegas. Let them fight in Vegas if Floyd beats Hatton, shoudln't change to much.

torres vs cotto will produce the same type of fight it did first time!!!! plus Torres would have more than 2 weeks to get ready

Mayweather would fight in New York, I reckon, if it could be as profitable as Vegas. I'm not sure it could be though.
I think that when Cotto beats Shane, Mayweather will have no choice but to fight him if he gets past Hatton, which I believe he will. And I think that fight would definitely have to be in New York to generate the kind of money that Floyd would want for that fight.. It would be a big draw in Vegas, but nobody sells in New York like Cotto. Cotto and Floyd at the Garden would break the attendance record, no doubt about it.
The reason that Cotto always fights in MSG is because they allow 8 oz. gloves, he would have to wear 10 oz. if he fought in Vegas. Let them fight in Vegas if Floyd beats Hatton, shoudln't change to much.
I think Mosley beats Cotto and if that happens I see Mosley wanting Mayweather(if he beats Hatton). If Cotto wins and Floyd loses then Cotto and Hatton would be a possible matchup. I don't think Floyd will fight in NY although it would be cool if he did.
