Or will he keep with the trend of fighting guys who are not rated in the top 10 at JMW while keeping his #1 spot?
Mayorga: Not a top 10 JMW when Cotto fought him.
Margarito: Not ranked in the top 10 in any division at all.
Mayweather: Not ranked in the top 10 at JMW, only one fight there 4-5 years ago.
Not ranked in the top 10 at JMW, only has one fight there at catchweight of 150.
Martinez, Lara, Williams are all fighting soon so he can get a pass now, but Kirkland and Canelo are free and willing to fight Cotto next. They are top 10 JMW's. If it's about money, fine let's eliminate Kirkland. Canelo is a big draw and has a big Mexican fanbase who will sell out Canelo-Cotto, and the PPV I can see doing a minumum of 500k.
His fans are stupid, annoying, and delusional. Now they're all businessmen, they use to be delusional warriors. Since Cotto didn't really turned out to be what they hyped him up to be, they're with the "it's all about the money, gotta love Cotto" talk. Pretty funny to those who witnessed the dumb Cotto fans here at the height of their glory in 07-08, compared to how they act now. They all look like a bunch of victims, asking for mercy.
Your one of the most idiotic people on this site. You make your post subliminal towards hating Cotto is almost laughable. You duck my posts like Mayweather duck Cotto from 07-08.
Anyway, your thread has so many double standards is not even funny. I could bring back your thread on how a fight "didn't make sense" for Mayweather.
Dont understand why any fighter at the end of his career would take a chance on a young lion. Unless that fighter is financially set. Cotto has 2 maybe 3 left. I say fight Floyd or Pac you deserve it ....then fight any of those guys.
Nope. Makes no sense at all in the pseudo-competition that is boxing and its championships.
Why does ranking matter, shot Margarito would beat plenty of ranked fighters at 154. Fighters are ranked by all types of organizations for all types of reasons doesn't mean they are good or anywhere near world class.
Margarito has done nothing in multiple years to suggest that. He's done as far as I'm concerned as has been for a while. Cotto's win over him is only remotely relevant because he was avenging his loss which is surrounded by controversy.
Like I said, I'd rather him fight a top fighter at 154. Because since he has won his title he hasn't.
It would hurt me a lot more if you diss DR baseball players, the sport they actually participate in.
Sorry I'm not a nationality freak like you and your friends, getting at my people does not hurt my feelings.
a sport they actually participate in? you mean where they don't suck culo? and getting at your people? my sisters half Dominican. i got nothing against them. try again.
and we've been over this. nationalistic? no. I'm an American. you don't like puerto ricans. you make this **** evident every time you crying about cotto.
He retired without fighting Cotto so yea he ducked him in my eyes.
But my point was the double standard with some of your fellow fans that take it to the extreme.
I know what you mean...I'm just sayin when all that happened it actually would have made business sense for Floyd to fight Cotto. It was the biggest money fight available next to Oscar 2. Plus it was perceived as a huge risk at the time, but in reality it wasn't.
It's funny when Mayweather ducked Cotto, Cotto stans were *****ing about the business side of things. Now that it's Cotto doing the same thing it's ok. Their double standards just keep adding up.
In fairness, business wise it didn't make sense to not fight Cotto at that time either. That was the biggest $$$ fight and the fight that should have been made in early 2008.
It would hurt me a lot more if you diss DR baseball players, the sport they actually participate in.
Sorry I'm not a nationality freak like you and your friends, getting at my people does not hurt my feelings.
you are not a nationality freak cause you got no DR fighters to support who are good
if DR had that you would be just as bad as the puerto ricans ,mexicans,UK fans etc....
still better than any bum ass dr fighter. and if cory can bring in the money. he can get it too.

Maybe Canelo or K9, He'll never be legit JMW.
I can see him fighting Floyd, Ortiz, Berto.
For some reason he wants Godzilla Chavez.
At this point its all about the $$$. Miguel aint fighting anyone for peanuts. It's business.
Or will he keep with the trend of fighting guys who are not rated in the top 10 at JMW while keeping his #1 spot?

So your making a case for Cotto to not fight Mayweather because he doesn't fight at JMW but yet you want him to fight Martinez who is the champ at MW and who hasn't fought at JMW going on 3 years?
Do you honestly think Lara is known to the casual boxing fan? Could this fight sell anything? Lara's last two fights were a loss to Paul and a draw to Molina and you expected Cotto to fight him?
Kirkland is fighting Carlos Molina next so he isn't free right now. I wouldn't mind seeing Miguel fight Canelo and he already stated he is open to fighting him but lets be real here, If Cotto had to pick between Canelo and Floyd I think we all know who he's gonna pick.
Neither do I. Perhaps it's that his fans tend to overrate him a little? I don't know.
Then every single fighter should be hated.
Not sure i think Cotto receives much hate though. It's a few very loud posters that spam most of it.
His fans are stupid, annoying, and delusional. Now they're all businessmen, they use to be delusional warriors. Since Cotto didn't really turned out to be what they hyped him up to be, they're with the "it's all about the money, gotta love Cotto" talk.

Ok, so you don't like his fans. But what about the rest of my post? About him being lined up to fight the two best fighters in the world? And possibly Canelo, a ranked JMW you're clamoring so much about? As far as I see it, the only deviation he took against ranked opponents was Mayorga. You could argue about Marg, but the demand and financial success of that fight speaks for itself.
And I don't know why you complain about Cotto fans so much, Floyd fans can be more annoying and have been acting like businessmen for much longer.
He has fought the best competition he could throughout his career consistently with only a few softies in between, I don't see where the hate comes from.
Neither do I. Perhaps it's that his fans tend to overrate him a little? I don't know.
I would like to see him fight a ranked, top fighter at 154 though because his last 2 fights weren't great.
If that's the case, why isn't Mayweather fighting Sanchenko, Pacquiao fighting Selcuk Aydin, and Martinez fighting Pirog? They don't bring jack moneywise. And I don't blame them. They earned the right to fight for the most money. Everyone always says how delusional Cotto fans are and that we overrate him, point is guy has beaten everyone he ever fought, except Pacquiao, one of the best fighters of this era.
extra couple of million??? lol
fighting mayweather or manny can get him 10 million or more
fight those other guys like martinez and kirkland wont get him any where near that
and how do you know that he is financially set for life?
how many fighters do we see in boxing make millions and end up broke
Cotto is not a dumb ass, he aint going to buy millions in jewlery and gambling and cars without saving and investing some
beating pac or mayweather would do more for his legacy than fighting martinez though?
martinez himself should worry about his legacy and his money. Hes basically wasting his last couple of years fighting irrelevants.
ya but he wont beat them and he knows that
How many title defenses does he have now? 2?
All he has to do is defend his belt against 10 more unranked fighters at 154 and he'll be one of the best Jr Middleweights ever.
Lol. Aw, Cotto the victim. He can no longer fight top fighters cause he'll be sacrificing his life. But Floyd is 35 and can fight the young guys like Ortiz, Canelo, and can fight top fighters like Martinez.
Cory Spinks should be next, fits right in to what a Cotto opponent should be nowadays. Or maybe even a rematch with Shane Mosley.
still better than any bum ass dr fighter. and if cory can bring in the money. he can get it too.
