This fight ironically seems to make a lot of sense. Both guys are coming off losses, both have exciting styles, Ortiz can easily make 154, Cotto is working with Golden Boy freely now, and a win by both can put them back in the hunt.
Anyone else wanna see this?
I say Cotto wins that fight. Even if the Victor that showed up for Berto comes into the ring. The Cotto that fought Mayweather/Margarito will be problems for Ortiz.
Someone said it previously though. Ortiz needs to take the winner of Maidana/Lopez. That'll REALLY put him back on the radar. Especially if he wins.
Ps. You guys need to realize that his jaw breaking had nothing to do with Lopez. There are several factors that could go into it, your jaw just doesn't get punched once and breaks. It could be dietary, accumulation of small degeneration from fights or maybe things that happen outside of boxing that we may not know. Either way, stop giving him **** for it. It's wack to go into a fight, talk and then quit but it's a sport and he had every right to, if he felt that it was too much. Since he was winning the fight.
Ortiz has no heart and Cotto would rape him no doubt.This fight won't go to the 12th round.
I agree with you Bro, Miguel is a lot more battle tested than Ortiz, the longer the fights go, it will favor Cotto, but I am also giving Victor a puncher's chance, one thing for sure we will see a lot of action...

Honestly, who gives a crap about belts? Canelo-Cotto didn't need to be legitimized by some crappy alphabet soup belt; the fight was going to sell regardless.
Who was "they" that wanted Cotto to beat Trout? If you're referring to Golden Boy, I'm sure they would have much rather preferred Cotto to take a much easier fight to make their mega fight.
I never said that K-9 was ever in the picture, I just stated that if Cotto was so desperate for a belt (as you claim), then he could have just easily fought K-9 for his belt.
No, I answered you're claim that Cotto was not fighting for anything, he was...Trouts belt.
GB wanted Cotto vs Canelo, that was the route they would have preferred. Bigger money fight.
no your implying Cotto NEEDED to beat Trout in order to get the Canelo fight.... thats not true... im saying Cotto wanted the strap for more leverage during negotiations...

I didn't imply anything like that, I basically am saying the same thing you are saying. GB wanted Cotto vs Canelo, they said it many times, it was the biggest fight available. Why do you think Trout was so happy to get Canelo? He's the cash cow right now.

Because it was already being discussed. Cotto vs Canelo was the fight they wanted but wanted to lagitimize the fight with the belt.
What they really wanted was Cotto to beat Trout and then set up a big fight on PPV between Canelo and Cotto, Trout fuked that up. K9 was never in the picture.
