Tell me who should be ranked number 2 then, Cintron? He lost to Margarito. Margarito? He lost to Williams. Williams? He has only beaten Margarito.
Cotto beat both Judah and Mosley who are top ranked welterweights. That makes him the number 2.
If Cotto's fighting Gomez when he's a young man (compare his approach with Williams) how does that makes him a top 2 ww? I don't get it. Beating 36 year old Mosley (10 year gap) and Zab "shot" Judah makes you number 2? The fact both of them gave Cotto a run for his money makes it even more obvious why Cotto isn't taking risks. Talking about coward huh? Cotto plans on catching another older guy in 09 (reads 31 year old Mayweather) and hope Mayweather has slowed down enough so he can win. Really inspiring Cotto, really proud of you. Oh btw ur manager is a racist and you ARE a black latino aren't you Cotto?
really am undecided on this
i would rather see cotto v mayweather or cotto v de la hoya with the winner fighting mayweather
but if the articles are true and a rematch with de la hoya is likely i would rather see this sooner rather than later
1.cotto vs mayweather:
Number 1 welterweight vs number 2 welterweight.
2.cotto vs de la hoya:
A good payday for Cotto and winning the fight could make him a star.
3.mayweather vs de la hoya:
We already saw the fight and it wasn't that entertaining.
If Oscar wants to fight Mayweather again he should beat Cotto, the number 2 welterweight, so people would believe he still has it.
