Read an article stating that Bob Arum is trying to get this fight for Miguel next.
Should this fight even be discussed? Miguel's health should be taken into consideration here.
Does he even deserve a shot at a unified championship after the type of beating he suffered at the hands of Manny Pacquiao?
exactly! he fights for the pride of PR. Theres no shame is losing to arguably the best fighter in the world. Not only that, but he did not go out like Hatton at least. I think he will be forced to retire though if he doesn't get a new corner. The last few fights have exposed him a bit and he needs a good corner to help add to his arsenal.
Nah, Paul Williams should get the winner, if he wants the fight. If he gets ducked again, I wouldn't have a problem with Cotto getting the winner. Just know that he gets KO'd by either one.
lmao sure, Cotto beats Bertos face in. Idk if he can beat Shane again tho, Cottos not the same fighter he was in 07. Maybe a new trainer can bring that swagger back
3-4 tuneups would never happen man. Maybe it should, but he's too much of a name. He would get MAX 2 tuneups and than be right back on WCB or an HBO PPV.
3-4 is better but 2 will do... all that matters is that he and his new trainer gel

I'm not suggesting he take easy fights just to waste time, but he and his new trainer will need time to gel. that's all the 3-4 tune ups is for... he should fight 3-4x next year and fukk hbo dates... he jst needs time with his new trainer.
it would be stupid for cotto to get a new trainer and then immediately jump into another tough fight when cotto and his new trainer haven't had time to get used to each other and have confidence in each other.

that is lame, that goes against everything miguel cotto is about. miguel needs a big win to get back on the map, not this michael jennings level shit. the only reason he fought jennings is cause it was for a vacant title.
miguel is about fighting the best welterweights in the world, and i ****ing believe that, cause he has proven it. miguel won't take any easy fights, he will take the best he can get and i believe he will win.

Im 50/50 on Bradley. I use to think he was the best thing ever but I think he couldve lost both to Nate & Holt if things had went differently. Thats why he's dropped alot in my eyes now. Still, I agree that he could be great. However, Cotto shouldnt be rusty at all. Most are just worried about a puncher like you said and Bradley shouldnt be able to hurt him. Also, Collazo is obviously much better than you think and I think he's actually a much harder fight at WW than Bradley. I think Collazo is a beast and that Southpaw style will give Cotto problems just like it always does. He doesnt have to worry about that against Bradley but again, he could still get his ass whooped
I just think Collazo is more of a tough, unorthodox guy, while Bradley is highly skilled.
Against Collazo, worst case scenario is Cotto beats him but just doesn't look good doing it. I don't see any scenario where Collazo can beat Cotto, pretty much any version of Cotto.
I can see Bradley outboxing Cotto if Cotto is real rusty. But again, that's probably just me being REALLY high on Bradley.
Nah, that's not a good fight for Cotto. If he's rusty, he could be out boxed. Maybe I'm just REALLY high on Bradley, but I don't think Cotto should fight anyone that skilled until he has a tune up.
The comeback fight should be against Collazo or somebody like that. A WW that isn't a big puncher, isn't a pressure fighter, and contrary to popular opinion, isn't entirely slick.
Than fight Berto/Mosley. Cotto brings $$$, so he'll always get a big fight if he's physically able.

cotto needs a new trainer first... then 3-4 tune ups.

mosley in 2007 , margarito in 2008 , clottey and pacquiao in 2009......
cotto is entitled to a year of powderpuffs.
fight a couple of tuneups in puerto rico and new york.
he needs to get his confidence back.
I have the perfect fight for Cotto. I know a guy who has a great resume and would fight him right now while alot of people would still see it as a softer fight that he should win. That guy is Bradley. I bet anything Bradley would move up to fight him. That would be a great win on Cotto's resume while also fighting a guy who shouldnt be able to hurt him. However, if he loses then his career is probably over and he could very well lose

Well the other thing is that Arum only has him for 2 more years, so he'll try and get a couple big money fights out of him so he can't wait too long on the first one.
