As long as Ortiz uses his head in a good way. Obviously Victor has a tough road ahead to get a rematch.
Cotto showed good movement last fight and seemed more confident in his offense. Miguel has the better chance to receive a rematch I believe. Both boxers did better work against Floyd Joy.
Pay good money to see either rematch. Mayweather has 3 or 4 fights left though.
Easy. Cotto will get the rubber match when he defeats Sergio. Ortiz will have to get some radical wins in a hurry....and we know its not going to happen.
Cotto vs FMJr. = May 2015 for the undisputed MV Championship! = $$$$$$$$
Mayweather won't be fighting either of them in a rematch but Ortiz has lost his last two fights and been inactive while his jaw heals. Ortiz is out of limelight now. He needs to win impressively over somebody good. Cotto is still on top with his last impressive fight and his famous name. So Cotto would be far more likely to get a rematch than Ortiz who was knocked cold in 4 rounds.
I think this is a no brainer, of those two Cotto gets a rematch. He has the PPV drawn to bring to the table and the Floyd can support the rematch by saying Cotto was the only fighter to recently trouble him. I personally don't believe that at all. Floyd gets a bloody nose and some people start acting like Cotto was on Floyd's level all along. Cotto is the obvious choice.
Really, I cannot see any point in an Ortiz rematch. He lost every round first time around and mentally broke down very quickly.
I agree but the drama at the end will be the selling point.. Ortiz just has to look good vs collazo and I think he gets the rematch,,, easy cash grab for Floyd
Pavilk and Chavez are better and more proven at 160 than Cotto. Cotto hasn't done much at 154, let alone jump into 160. Cotto might be the best name, but not the toughest fight he'll have fought. Unless sergio is basically on life support there's no way he should lose to miguel cotto at 160 lbs.
Good luck to Cotto taking Martinez's punches. I can't get the Trout fight out of my head, and I was really rooting for Cotto in that one. But if Floyd Mayweather and Austin Trout are stunning you, you aren't taking Martinez's punches. But hypothetically, if Cotto won, imagine the promotion for a rematch with Mayweather. Cotto would be THE middleweight champion of the world, not just a paper champion like Golovkin, Quillin, and Sturm. Mayweather could capture the lineal championship at middleweight. People would probably argue that Cotto was a rejuvenated beast.
You guys have solid posts,,, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say cotto beats serg,,,, serg is old and broken down, been over a year since he last fought, ring rust, old age will all catch up to him,,, plus the rican crowd gonna sway the judges,,, this gonna be a repeat of Duran-Moore
Don't doubt cotto,,,

Solid view point but realize that cotto is way better than pavlik and Chavez,,, cotto is a legit first ballot hall of famer and the best fighter serg will ever fight.. Cotto is going to get his shots off unlike pavlik and Chavez,,, cotto isn't some boozer or pothead

Cotto won't be able to get close enough to Martinez to land his body shots. Martinez will land his straight to the body every time Cotto rushes him. People don't seem to realize that Cotto is much smaller than Martinez's previous opponents. If guys like Pavlik and Chavez Jr., who both hit much harder than Cotto, couldn't stop Martinez, Cotto probably cannot. Cotto is not a huge puncher at 154 and probably will be average at best at 160.

I think if the Martinez that fought Murray shows up he still batters him.
Sergio's not a huge MW but he's a solid one. He comes to the ring about 170 lbs.
Cotto will be very small compared to Sergio.
I just don't see it going well for Cotto he's going to hit a lot and hurt a lot.
Yeah, I can totally see that but last time I saw serg he looked old and broken down and now it's over a year later,,, Father Time catches up to everyone and if cotto keeps his high guard nice and tight serg is going to have trouble landing..
I just think serg will be battling Father Time more than cotto and Father Time has a record of 100,002,458-3 with 3 losses to Archie Moore, foreman and Hopkins,,,,,
A tight high guard which he had vs Floyd, with an active double jab and body shots could spell defeat for serg...
I get why serg would be the favorite, just playing devils advocate
All u say is true so I won't try n debate,, just giving the "keys to victory" for cotto,, if he can successfully do as I said I like his chances... If serg isn't broke down and is the same serg That fought Chavez, barker, pwill, and pavlik, then yes serg is the favorite, but if he is the broken down old fighter that fought Murray than it's about a 50/50 fight and I like cotto's chances... Serg is not a big mw, and has never fought anyone the caliber of cotto, and cotto has fought much better fighters than Sergio ie Floyd, manny, margs, Shane
Cotto beats an old serg imo
