Who Should Cotto Fight Next?

Kirkland, Angulo, or Bundrage/Smith winner. Get back to winning but do so against a Top 10 fighter.

The Bundrage fight makes the most sense.

I say Bundrage, Ortiz and then end it with a Canelo fight.

Who do you feel is the right fight to take next? Victor Ortiz - since both guys have recently lost. It'll do good numbers since people know Ortiz.

My macabre side wants Cotto to get fed to Canelito ...... but I would feel guilty after he's left a bloody mess and we see videos of his family crying. so maybe K-9 or Punching bag Angulo

K-9 would be the best option. Get his title. Then he can possibly have one more big pay day with someone. Perhaps Canelo.

Canelo :lol1:

Canelo, I still think Cotto can beat him. I bet against Cotto vs Floyd and Trout. But I will bet Cotto will beat him

Retire, if not Bundrage then Canelo.

Those guys are all busy fighting canelo green your way!

I see a lot of people calling for him to move back to 147. While you could argue that he's undersized at 154, I say he can't make 147 anymore. That being said, He's still a big enough draw that he could lure some relevant 147 fighters to 150-154 and be on an even playing field. Guys like Ortiz, Berto, Maidana would jump at the chance to fight Cotto imo, and would all make for fun, winnable fights, albeit not relevant or division-shaking in any sense. I say take k9's belt, and defend it a couple of times against those guys I mentioned and call it a career. Of course, having a belt and a couple of wins would make a Canelo fight hard to resist, even if Canelo loses by then, its always gonna sell.

He's been on empty for some time now. He fought hard and did very well considering he wasn't a multi talented fighter. He made good money and seems to be in good health but that will NOT last long against younger fighters! Retire!! Be happy and content with your career it was a pretty good one! Family Time! Ray.

This cannot happen. Cotto roughly fights for around $3-10 million a fight and there is no way he's going to get that kind of money fighting on a Mayweather undercard, since Mayweather demands such an insanely high purse ($30+ million). There simply isn't enough money to go around to fund the fight. Well, he just lost two in a row and he's titleless, I don't think he's expecting to make $3-10 mil in his next fight. As it is, I really doubt he made $3 mil against Trout. If not Canelo, K9 makes the most sense.

Being frank as a fan,i don't think Cotto has allot left 2 fights top.And not in terms of being shot but in terms of keeping up to certain fighting styles.He's had real good runs @140,147 for those who have monitored him closely for more then a decade. Angulo just simply doesn't live up to his name despite his layoff and pre hype.He was fooled when a more known puncher Cintron clearly outboxed his ears and a chinny Kirkland beating him in his own rough game.Bundrage isn't the most top quality pickings but he has a belt and Cotto coming off two losses wouldn't be as bad.Canelo i wouldn't mind, i mean if bullying Jr. welterweights,having a phony resume full of retired skeletons and being a paper champ while obviously ducking the whole junior middleweight division has ppl believing he's the real deal then what a shame for boxing in general.He's looked 'impressive' to say the least but how about against a real top jr mw? Eventually the weakest link i would say. There's nobody outside of that radar that I can think of that brings attention and that Cotto can possibly beat.

Move back to welter & fight there he's a small 154 fighter. That or Angulo & Kirkland. Welter would be best IMO thou. Him & Ortiz would make a good fight.

Angulo maybe???

He should move down to 147, if possible. If not, the Bundrage-Smith winner is logical. Kirkland seems like a good one too. Honestly, I'd prefer that he just retire already. He'll keep fighting for the $$$ though.

Cotto is by far my current favorite fighter.. but my boy needs to get in line and earn his spot to another title if he wants to continue..I think a Kirkland, Vanes, or K9 match is due.. Honestly..I hate that he's at 154lbs...I thought he was adapted to the size and weight..but seeing Trout tower over Cotto in size and height showed us all that he has no business fighting there...all the true 154lbers are going to give Cotto trouble from now on..Trout set the blueprint.. I wish we could see him at 147lbs again..and fight the Alexander's, Maidana's, Bradley's, etc. but I doubt he wants to go below 154lbs

Those guys are all busy fighting canelo LOLOLLL :owned:

Maybe he can fight Canelo first (possibly lose) on May 4 and then fight Bundrage and retire with a win and a title on hand. Or he could beat Bundrage first and then try to unify with Canelo to rehype the fight.
