It looks this way Mayweather vs Pacquiao is finally going to happen, now what for Cotto? At first, I thought of Daniel Geale as an opponent, but I don't think it will sell, so now I prefer Erislandy Lara vs Miguel Cotto, which makes more sense.
I dont know about other cotto fans... but I want cotto in there with a legit MW. No bradley. As much as that fight would catch my attention, I am not interested in that fight. Lee, Quillin, or GGG or he can vacate and go back down to 154 lbs.
Cotto would need to come in better conditioned than we're used to seeing and he'll have to get dirty to win this. It's not gonna be easy for Lara regardless, Lara is good at what he does but it's not like his style is all that complex, it isn't.
We all want what we can't get. If Cotto backed out of fighting Canelo what makes you think he would fight Lara? Lara is very hard to beat and he wouldn't make Cotto near as much money as Canelo would. Just give your man Lara a fantasy fight win over Cotto because Cotto will never fight Lara.
What a horrific fight
Lara has already proved to be boring on the big stage vs canelo
Don't think it be that horrific. Canelo pressed Lara and proved to be formidable as much as some of us disagree with the decision. Vs Cotto it might just come down to styles.
Terrible fight stylistically for Cotto. Lara will be able to beat him to the punch jabbing. What is Cotto gonna do against a guy who is going to be on his bike and getting off before him with the jab?
Not much. Would be an appalling performance by Lara, how dare he win on his bike??

Cotto vs TBA, at Madison Square Garden, Puerto Rican Day weekend.
Lara makes for a **** fight, and that hasn't changed at all; just look back to the Ishe Smith fight. To that, you can also add that Lara is unlikely to take short money for the shot.
A guy like Jorge Heiland, positioned pretty well within the governing bodies but not really a world-level contender, would make a lot more sense.
