Both are free agents so to speak and both are the 2 best Latino fighters of this era, they got the Puerto Rico-Mexico rivalry going and Cotto is a proven PPV so he can carry the A side of a promotion. This would be a dream fight and one that would do huge numbers on PPV.
If the weight is at 147 , then yeah.. IMO and JMM would fukk him up so bad.... Anything at 147 and under is an advantage to JMM but anything above147 would favor Cotto.. This is a hard fight just because of the weight issue!!
As much as I would've like to see this match-up, I think the intelligent thing for Cotto to do is, forget about WW and focus on building his legacy at JMW. I don't want to see Cotto perform weight-drained ever again (i hate seeing any fighter weight-drained). In the long run, it will mean more to beat guys like Canelo/Kirkland/Martinez who are at/near the beginning of their primes, than a JMM who's not operating at his prime weight anymore. Can JMM beat Cotto at 147? i wouldn't put it pass him. Should Cotto be tempted to move down once more to face a legend? really don't think so. People will complain endlessly about it. All of his fights at JMW are fool-proof, cuz nobody there (other than K9) is out of their prime. They might be young and inexperienced, but that's a whole other discussion lol

Did you watch golpe a gople friday ?
Animalistic you dont like Pac fighting Cotto at 147 right?? Well he is going to fight AT LEAST at 145 if not lower if he fights Marquez. Juanma simply cannot blow up beyond 143 for many reasons.. performance wise and he just simply cant in that little lean frame of his. <3
Thought I was the only guy interested in that match up, at 147 should be a good fight, a very winnable fight for both fighters. I still think Cotto can make 147 and be healthy.
come on, that's a completely unfair and disgusting match up
Marquez would end Cotto's career. Might aswell just hand Marquez the 154 strap. It would be easier than watching Cotto take another near death beating.
Yes....yes yes yes.
Are you kidding me? You just posted a thread about Pacquiao would supposedly try to fight Cotto at 147 and how that's unfair... and now you want the JMW champion to fight the lightweight champion?
I forgot that that's even fair-er
