From the looks of it Miguel Cotto put himslef back in the talks for a big mega fight, which is gonna make him a lot of money. so if you are Cotto, would you try avenge your second lost to Manny Pacquaio or would you fight Floyd Mayweather ? answer and discuss why you would choose that opponent.
If im Cotto i would fight Manny and try to avenge my loss. If he beats manny a Huge payday awaits against Floyd. If im Cotto I would not settle for a 147 weight against Manny, but I wouldnt be shocked if Manny demanded a 147 take or leave it fight. Cotto would be forced to take it.
If I were Cotto, I'd fight Floyd and possibly make more money than I received in my previous bout combined. I'd use the same formula Floyd uses when promoting his fights and pay TR or GBP to promote fights at a stipulated fee without signing any promotional contract. Both TR and GBP would have to make bids in order for me (Cotto) to use there services. I might even have a sit down with Al Haymon to see what he has to offer.
I would fight Floyd. Fighting Pac probably means signing a contract with the devil again, which means no Floyd in the future. So I'd go for Floyd now, while he's still physically able.
Honestly, Cotto should be vocal and push for a Mayweather fight. **** Pacquiao, Chavez anything where hes a puppet to Arum. Cotto needs to just stand up already.
Amen brother AMEN
If I was Cotto I'd opt for Floyd. We all seen what happens when Cotto is pressured relentlessly especially in championship rounds, it would be interesting to see what happens when he faces a pure boxer/counter-puncher.
BTW, I am a Cotto fan I just want to see what he would have left against someone who doesn't exhibit those volume punching pressure fighting traits at this point in his career.
Anyone else just as curious as me?
Naw, Floyd is a brilliant technician and has excellant defense. Not much punching power, but after a couple rounds would time Cotto and counter the **** out of him and pot shot him to a comfortable decision.
I'd fight Floyd.
If I was Cotto, I wouldn't even consider a Pacquiao fight unless he fights a fair one. No catchweight. Fuck a drug test, although it is smart to have him take one but still. Just the catchweight alone. I wouldn't fight Pacquiao unless it's on even ground, none of this advantages before getting in the ring bullshit that Pacquiao's camp tries to enforce.
Nothing under 154. So, Floyd it is.

If i was him i would just fight Canelo and Jr., maybe...one more in his weight class if he wins both of the 1st fights, and i think he can, then see where i stand, seriously considering retiring if he wins both. But if he wins both, that might tempt him to go after Pac or Floyd, and I don't think he beats either @ any weight.
If I'm Miguel Cotto I act like I'm in the driver's seat because I am. Fight Manny? Sure. At my weight and working with Top Rank on a fight by fight basis. Fight Floyd? Sure. Please don't try to slip me a long-term contract, Mr. Schafer.
i think he could get close to the same amount for these two fights as he could for Pac/Floyd + either Canelo or Chavez.
Problem is, can they make these two fights? Would TR and GBP work together for this?
That is true. I think they can work it out. It's mega money to be made

Cotto got 90% of the advantages vs Margarito and you fools were all happy. Pac wants an advantage with Cotto and you guys start crying over it. Cotto himself said he would go down to 147. BOXING IS A BUSINESS. :bottle:
this guy cant stay out of cotto threads lol
If I was Miguel I would fight Canelo then Chavez jr and retire.
