Is Alvarez-Cotto still a good fight to make, or is Cotto damaged goods at this point? I don't think he should arrange to fight Mayweather. I mean, if Trout won a couple of rounds against Canelo, Mayweather would CLOWN him.
Canelo should fight the Lara-Angulo winner, Cotto the Smith-Molina winner. Then the winners fight. Cotto should get back in the win column first and take the IBF strap. Be for almost the undisputed JMW title if they both win these interim fights.
Fighters that lost two straight fights should not get title shots at all. If Cotto won a couple tune ups or a comeback fight I would have no objection to him getting a title shot.
you gay as phucc with that avi :ugh:
Sorry bro but that Avi is kinda suspect...
Meh, I can't judge. I have a mancrush on Knuckles, which is why he's not wearing any clothes in mine. :wank::wank::wank:
Wtf? Whats so suspect about the damn avi? Dude is a legend.
Cotto spent what ever he had left against Floyd, he's shot
Cotto has no speed, no defense, and no chin
and as a JMW, he has no power
he'll do nothing but lose to ranked JMW's, he's not legit there
even if he could/did go back to WW, can't see him doing much
just how good do you think Cotto is?
Trout's not better than him, he's just prime and bigger
The Asian woman in your sig looks simply divine. Sauce?
Cotto needs a tune up first to see where he stands. Cotto should fight the Smith/Molina winner and then if he wins fight Canelo in May 2014.

Cotto still beats the Smith/Molina winner, I hope that fight happens. Cotto isn't shot. Shot is Mosley or Jones. Cotto isn't prime but he's still good enough to beat good fighters. Mayweather and Trout are just better than Cotto.

I somewhat agree. I think the loss to Trout was close enough to warrant a rematch, and better prep creates an entirely different scenario for Cotto. I like his chances better against Canelo to be honest. Canelo isn't a pressure fighter, the fight would be a tactical affair, with savage exchanges from both guys. The man with a stronger resolve will be crowned champion.
I think Cotto's mental fortitude is better than he's often given credit for. The man is a survivalist. He is willing to soak severe amounts of damage even if it means going out on his shield, to be a trooper. And he can crack with the best of em. If you're Canelo's matchmaker and you looked at Trout as a good test of wits, Cotto is definitely the flip side to that. Cotto's going to test his will. It makes sense to steer Canelo into a Cotto fight if you're building him up for a showdown with animals like Martinez and GGG
Cotto is shot
no point in Alvarez fighting him, Cotto would get killed
if there's no Floyd fight, rematch Trout, it was close
that or face Lara later on if he's still available

Absolutely not. He should fight the Lara/Angulo winner next, and Cotto should fight the Molina/Smith winner. That way it gives a path for them to clash in a significant fight. If Cotto was only coming off 1 loss to Floyd, I'd say make the fight. But he's lost two in a row now. Let him get a decent win again first.

I'm in the minority here but I like Miguel's chances, always said Cotto stood the best chance in beating Canelo out of the current 54 pounders. Cotto's boxing ability, jab, also think he'll keep turning Canelo, he does have the superior foot speed...I like his chances. Cotto struggled against Trout due to the ranginess, height/ reach and style of Trout, getting to Canelo will not prove troublesome. VERY good fight.
Except the accurate and powerful counters that would be coming his way. Cotto is way past his prime while Saul is just entering his. I don't wan't to see cotto get butchered again man.
Cotto is coming off of 2 back to back losses, one to a fighter Canelo just edged. Nah, I think he should elevate himself. Cotto now is taking a step in reverse.
