154: Ortiz vs Cotto

Bump. ______________________________

I think Cotto would be too much right now...that'd be throwing Victor to the dogs right away... And Victor hasn't fought at 154 yet...just because he was 161 doesn't mean he'd do ok at 154... Just had a tough fight...if he doesn't rematch Berto they'll prob throw him a stiff...or a lower level ranked welter... Putting Ortiz in with Cotto is a better choice than Mayweather or Pacquiao. He's got a better chance at beating Cotto. Ortiz giving Berto a rematch would be a mistake, but I wouldn't be surprised if GBP would be stupid enough to do it. Strike while the iron is hot. Cotto brings dollars and notoriety. This would be one hell of a fight. I think Ortiz will carry the weight just fine.

lol Cotto is shot. Ortiz knocks him out in a non competitive fight

Cotto is too much for Victor.... lets not get carried away. However, I'd love to see the fight happen. It would be very very entertaining.

Come on now. Cotto >>>>>>>>>>>> these young guns. Cotto would box the **** out of ortiz and probably TKO him. Don't get me wrong Ortiz redeemed himself bigtime. But look at who he beat and compare him to cotto. Big step up. I'd like to see ortiz with mike jones next or **** even clottey.

even though i don't really like looking ahead, i think ortiz takes it.. ortiz has good footwork, power, and youth...plus talent. i think those tools can beat an older 154 cotto, but no one knows how ortiz would take cotto's bodyshots. it would be a great fight

An well experienced well trained version of the pre-Maidana Ortiz could arguably win. However, the reality is that Ortiz was too in experienced, and this Ortiz is too soft for that level of competition. I'd rather see Ortiz in with Cotto, than Mayweather or Pacquiao. This would be a great fight, and I think it's a fight that would really sell. I also think he's got the tools to beat Cotto. Round 6 really proved to me that Victor can dig deep and not break. I saw plenty of right hands that hurt and buckled Ortiz, but he kept his composure.

If Arum wasn't such a ***** this fight would be possible. Alvarez would be possible. Instead we get to wait until September for a fight we already saw. And I'd go with Cotto still. Cotto would have stopped Berto last night. It would have been like the Judah fight.

They both have been dropped more than once before and they both have power. This would be a hell of a fight

ortiz would destroy cotto. cotto hasnt faced anyone notable at 154 (also 154 doesnt suit him)...and in my opinion cotto is a ko/tko waiting to happen. props to cotto for what he has accomplished in the past but hes not the same as before.

1 step at a time,Ortiz hasn't even been a welterweight for 4 months,let the guy get seated 1st. I know, but I can't help but salivate at this match up. They are about the same size, now; and Cotto hasn't been the same since Margarito and Pacquiao fights.

Cotto's an entirely different level from a guy like Berto. Especially at 154, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Ortiz may put up a good fight but he wouldn't win. Ortiz would clean up what's left of Cotto.

that would be a great action fight
