So whats next for Cotto ?

Straight Margarito Rematch. I dont think margs will take the fight as fast as Cotto took the fight with Margs though.

Cotto - Clottey is a pick'em. I'd slightly favor Cotto because of Clottey's lack of activity and he'd give away too many rounds to an active fighter like Cotto. However, if the Clottey that fought Margarito in the first four rounds of their fight shows up, it's Clottey all the way to the bank. As for Williams, Cotto might be able to win by KO because Paul gives up his hight way too much. The body would be there all night for Cotto to attack, if he decides to go to the body in the next fight, that is. If you look at his fight with Margarito, there were plenty of opportunities for him to go to the body but he chose to throw a head combo and get the hell out of dodge instead of punishing Margo's torso. He though he was doing the right thing by getting away from Margarito before he could counter, but he ended up letting Margo come on strong in the late rounds instead of being tired from body punches in the early rounds. He'd have to take those chances against Williams that he didn't take against Margo. BTW, I had Cotto up 6 rounds to 4 the when the 11th started the first time I watched the fight and then even at 5 rounds the second time I watched it, so Cotto was in the fight and could've won a UD had he just invested in body shots early. I hope he learned his lesson.

ain't nothing man :) trying to dig deep to make it a productive monday, namsayin'? Yeah i feel you. I should've picked up some RedBull this morning :(

yoooo Baya, what up? ain't nothing man :) trying to dig deep to make it a productive monday, namsayin'?

Clottey is similar to Margarito in that he is bigger, stronger, and more durable than Cotto. Add in the fact that he is excellent defensively and I don't think he is a good match for Cotto coming off a loss. zab was ducking and doging alot of what clottey was throwing , just couldnt get away from those straight rights. Cotto would be able to throw solid combos every time this happened. But yeh as you said coming of a loss it could be a risk

he should take on clottey, he think's he'll retire in 2 - 3 years like he said .. then he needs to get back on the horse, quickly. yoooo Baya, what up?

really ? ... by the way cotto was boxing against margarito i think he has a pretty good chance. However clottey puts on the muslce before fights. would be a good fight none the less Clottey is similar to Margarito in that he is bigger, stronger, and more durable than Cotto.

If Cotto is smart he won't go near Clottey anytime soon. really ? ... by the way cotto was boxing against margarito i think he has a pretty good chance. However clottey puts on the muslce before fights. would be a good fight none the less

lost to williams sparred with golden johnson for 1 round and then took the title from cintron. He didnt lose to Johnson so you're comment is not true. Plus he had already beat Cintron and Cintron wanted to redeem himself.

When did that happen? lost to williams sparred with golden johnson for 1 round and then took the title from cintron.

He needs to stay away from guys like Williams and Margo. Cotto can beat everyone else if this fight hasn't effected him too much. I'd like to see him fight anyone next. I don't think his next fight should be against top fighter. At least one easy one first.

uum a easy fight, i guess collazo... ( i hope collazo dont got a good night like he did vs hatton)

let him take out clottey next... If Cotto is smart he won't go near Clottey anytime soon.

didn't margarito? When did that happen?

congratulation on 4000 post! lol i think cotto will be back for a December fight.... Thanks man, I've been posting a lot.lol I think he should take some time off until February.

i'd like to see him fight Joshua Clottey, Luis Collazo or Zab Judah, then Paul Williams, then (if he beats Williams) a rematch with Antonio Margarito

he will get an easy fight in the PR Coliseum and then he will go for the big guys again. Maybe directly to Margarito granted he keeps the belt or clottey if he has the belt. Keep it all under the Top Rank Banner

Well my post went through first so I guess I have the original idea, plus I have better typing skills. Is whoe, whore+hoe? lol congratulation on 4000 post! lol i think cotto will be back for a December fight....

The only person who still gets shots at titles after losing is Zab. Let's keep it that way. didn't margarito?
