Margarito imo is pretty much done after the consecutive damages he received from Cotto, Mosley and Pac and I believe Cotto will get past him this time. If this happens who do you think/ who would you like Cotto to fight? Martinez? Pac rematch? Saul Alvarez?
Poll to come.
Edit: I didn't add Floyd in the poll because Cotto still lives in Puerto Rico.
I don't get what this means?....
This:
at some point floyd was asked about fighting cotto and his response was that he couldnt cuz cotto lived in PR.... something to that effect
Becaus Cotto would get hurt. Besides greater fighters than Cotto wants none of Martinez, Cotto shouldn't be the one to have to man up while others avoid him.
Do you think Sergio will beat Cotto worst than what Marg and Pac did? LOL
Sergio's being avoided by Pac and May because of his high risk low reward status, both of them has more to loose than to gain in beating Sergio such as leverage to their future bouts and being the cash cow they are. Cotto doesnt have that status atm so i think he has more to gain, both his stock and p4p status.
Why not Martinez? I think he has a good chance being the boxer he is.

that is one of the excuses given by floyd haha

That's an absurd excuse if any. Thanks for clearing that up for me...

One of the smartest posts on here...
I was wondering if Ricans would want Cotto to have a rematch with Pac if he managed to win dominantly as in multiple KDs/won every round with late stoppage against Marg?
I want to see Cotto back at 147 where he belongs. Lots of Matchups at 147 with any of the young guns there. Cotto vs Marcos would be a nice little war, for however long it lasts.
After Margo, this fights would be acceptable
Canelo-Cintron winner
Angulo-Kirkland winner
Martinez at 154
Ortiz at 147
Fighitng wolak or Rodriguez would be a huge step backwards!
If Cotto beats Margarito Arum will call GBP and trie to set up a Cotto-Alvarez unification bout for May-June of next year but I don't see that fight happening. The one I see happening is a fight with Powel Wolak if Wolak beats Rodriguez in the rematch. That fight before the PR Day Parade in NYC would be a good sell and make tons of money at the gate.
If the Wolak fight doesn't happen I expect Cotto to pick either a Mosley fight or Chavez Jr if Chavez mans up.
In terms of marketability and at the same time being very winnable, an Alvarez-fight would be an awesome career choice for him. I would only prefer a beatdown of Chavez Jr, but the guy would have to come down again, not sure if he could do that and he certainly doesn't want none of Cotto, can't blame him though).
I don't think he can really beat Martinez at 154, but I would applaud him for going once again against one of the toughest possible opponents.
Thing is man when you are a Cotto, a guy who fights the toughest opponents out there and takes little to no easy fights you are not going to look dominating. And still he only has two losses, one of them which he can avenge this december.
You put Cotto up against bums to make him shine or prospects like Canelo and his superior level will show. But that's not Cotto, he fights the toughest and trickiest fighters out there. For his own good or bad but he will always be respected for that.

I agree with the bolded part, the warrior in Cotto quit for a reason, he lives to fight another day.

GB WILL throw him against Cotto thinking he's past it but Cotto will end up eaiting him alive. A lot of people tend to for some reaosn be fooled that Cotto doesn't have much left in the tank. They are very very wrong.

Feed him freckles. And then I'd like to see him go up against Ortiz.
I might get interested in a Cotto - Ortiz if Ortiz can get a few great wins in the future.
