The rumors are that Cotto will fight Andy Lee for the vacant WBC JMW title december 13 In MSG on regular HBO. Cotto's team are weighing in all options including a defense of his MW belt against Canelo, Rubio or Timothy Bradley. But it is expected for him to take the Andy Lee fight for the JMW.

What you guys think??
I feel it's a risky fight if it's at full MW. Lee has excellent uppercuts and MW power..if he didn't have that particular weapon I wouldn't feel that it's as risky because once you get inside on him he is a statue, but Idk... him getting clipped as el-blance said is what i picture too
I mentioned the lack of a great uppercut to be one of Sergio's possible downfalls before that fight so I would be careful of using that as an indicator..esp from someone that tall
Awesome PPV. HOPEFULLY Cotto will stack the undercard with guys like Juan Herrera and Janiel Rivera!
It won't be a PPV genius.
The WBC belt will become vacant because after the Mariana fight they will make Floyd the emeritus champ. And yes it is ridiculous but that's what we get with this alphabet organizations!
If cotto fights lee for the JMW title and doesn't defend the MW title-NSB will turn into Ferguson, Missouri and GGG fans will be the protesters..
:lol1::lol1:
I don't like this fight...reminds me of the Trout fight. It very well could backfire on cotto. He should fight bradley or canelo. Those are both good paydays
:lol1::lol1: nice one!!! LOL
I really don't think lee stands much of a chance vs cotto.. He looked like utter crap in his last fight and got saved by a one punch ko.. Lee might last longer than delving did, but I don't think he poses much of a threat to cotto
Who cares who Cotto fights next. We know hes fighting Canelo after his next fight, let him take a soft touch. Rubio is not on the list anymore so I guess its between Lee or Bradley
:lol1: Fan boy. Specially on the soft touch. Cotto has had plenty of those.

Cotto - Lee isn't a ppv fight, but it's a fun fight for sure. They both will be there to be hit. I think it'll be a fun fight in the interim as the dust settles for GGG/Rubio, Mayweather/Maidana, Canelo/TBA
I think 2015 is shaping up to be a treat for fans.
