He has fought the best in his weight class and he's attained respect and financial gains only boxing could have afforded. He excaped a very bad situation with Margarito and has managed to reverse some of the indignaty. He is a family man and a religious one also, its time to retire and give himself and boxing a closer to a successful adventure.
ps; same for Shane, these young men have nothing to prove anymore and they have given their best each time the bell has rung. I hope we start seeing individuals who start realizing theirs more than boxing in their lives. They've learned their character and desires can lead them to more rewards.

i would watch cotto against anyone at 154. lara, williams, canelo, kirkland etc.. whoever is available
williams would be a terrible stylistic matchup for him though so i dont expect that to happen.
With Canelo fighting Kirkland most likely in September, he should wait and fight that winner next Spring. In the meantime, fight Cornelius Bundrage for that IBF title in the fall. He's a Top 10 SWW, with a title. Than, fight the Kirkland-Canelo winner.
Definitely agree with this.
After Bradley beats Pacman, Pacman won't have any choice but to give Cotto his rematch at fair weight.
I hope you are right. He can avenge that loss at 150.
maybe if floyd is wiling to give him a rematch the fight was real competitive all 12 rounds they both hit each other hard so i belive maybe if floyd dosent fight pacquiao give cotto a rematch !!!
What about Marquez? can he come up to 150? Seems like a dream fight to me even if Cotto trashes him you got the best latino fighters of their era going at eachother.[/QUOT
The fight could be brutal. But dont see it happening Marquez going upto 150lbs or even Cotto moving down.

this.......
you might be right and i like bradley but i think pac beats him in non-controversial fashion because pac has something to prove. pac will definitely lose his p4p title if he don't bring it time.
Pacman does have something to prove, but Bradley is not the opponent he should have chosen. I suggest you watch Bradleys fights. He knows when to pressure, when to move & when to clinch. Bradley is too good of a fighter for Pacman to look good against.
Proud of Cotto. I had no victory expectations, but rather wanted him to give a full account of himself to a superior, more gifted fighter. He did. He was frustrated and left in the end, but I don't hold it against him.
Cotto still has it, he's not done. Keep on truckin' Miguel!
that was my point.....i don't bradley will win even if he does beat pac.
But that's what you're not understanding. Pacman cannot afford to not look good again, not after the schooling Marquez put on him. That's why I'm convinced that arum is cashing in with this Bradley fight.
Cotto's gonna fight Canelo. He aint getting out of bed at this point for anything less than 5 mill....outside of Floyd and Pac, Canelo is the only one who he could get that with.
arum wants a piece of jmm and cotto once more before he then throughs pac into the lion's den against floyd. no way wil he let bradley ruin that.
If Bradley loses, it will be a robbery because Bradley isn't bringing his undefeated resume in there only to lay down, guaranteed.
are u crazy? arum will not let pac lose to bradley....NO MATTER WHAT!
Let me tell you something, Arum is cashing in on the Pacmonster. That's why he's putting him in there with Bradley. Pacman is worried about his political career, he suspected arum of robbing him & Bradley is an undefeated fighter that isn't going to lay down for Pacman.
its gotta be canelo (or an easier fight first then canelo) i don't see why he should fight pac/floyd/martinez give him a fight where he can make good money AND has a good shot at winning, another loss is not what he needs right now.
I want to see Floyd crush Amir Khan. As for Cotto. The winner of the Spinks-K9 fight. Get a trinket back and then put himself in a position for another big payday.
