This will be officially announced, it's just a matter of time, so here is the RBR thread in advance.
Anywhere from 147 to 160, rumor has it that Cotto offered him the fight at 154.
Prime vs prime, or current vs current, IDGAF: Who wins?
AnimalisticMeth
El Angel
Cotto got sent to the hospital by two small welters in Floyd and Manny, miss me with this prime Canelo mess, sauls a very good fighter, but has yet shown to be great, only vs bums like kirland, the khans of the world, well even swift was able to drop khan 3-4 times what level is Canelo truly is, it could be argued he lost or arguably lost his only fights of substance, not to mention getting completely manhandled by Floyd, so really wtf does cotto standing up Canelo and his overatted ass have to do with chino's ability to beat cotto....
Break the tape down people and stop believing hype
Your logic isnt very good,khan fought extremely cautiously against canelo before he was more afraid of what was coming back,when khan fought garcia he was growing in confidence as the fight wore on until the first knockdown fighting extremely aggressive

This is marcos and his brother. I had to look it up because I never saw his brother and thought maybe he was a featherweight. His brother is a WELTERWEIGHT!!!!
Marcos is MASSIVE.
Maidana could barely beat a shot morales rolling off the couch, cotto all wrong for him
Barely? Chino put a softball sized lump on his face in like the first two rounds and took his soul. You might want to rewatch that fight.
The Chino who gave Mayweather hell (and his second unofficial loss) would brutally stop the current version of Cotto.
Sadly, that version of Chino is forever gone, now we only have a fatass who'll never be able to come back, and if he does, he'll be a shadow of what he was, RJJ post Ruiz style.
You dont **** up with your weight that much without paying a hefty price. Maidana the fighter is gone ppl, R.I.P

Lmao at you thinking floyd has more punching power than cotto..
I love how everyone thinks Maidana is so improved under garcia... What fights has he showed improvement? He is beating guys like soto karass and broner.. maidana threw like a million bunches in the first 6 Rds vs floyd, floyd weathered the storm, and then clearly outboxed him, and clearly outboxed him in the rematch.. This "improvement" under garcia is such a myth or the very least unproven. There is literally no top fighter Maidana has outboxed under Garcia, let alone going up in weight to fight cotto.
Maybe if Maidana had beaten guys like thurman, Porter, Brook, bradley,danny I could see your point but the dude is beating josesito lopez, Broner and karass. No way to tell how effective Maidana is with garcia in his corner
Literally every one of those guys gets stopped by Maidana except maybe Bradley. I also hope you do realize that after Maidana cleans Cottos clock he is moving down to 147 to clean out the division and unify the belts. Not one welter can beat him except Bradley. Thurman probably ducks him for a while but Danny and a faded Pacmonster get murdered.
And Floyd has one shot stopping power in that right hand, Floyd and Cotto at their current versions, Floyd has more power.
Cotto was better than Maidana pre Garcia, not after.
If a guy with more power than Cotto (Floyd) couldn't drop Maidana with a body shot, Cotto will? lmao.

How?
The same guy that has been outboxed by khan, old morales, Devon Alexander is somehow gonna move up in weight and beat cotto..
Cotto massacres this dude with body shots..
It will be a combination of tito and Oscar when they fought mayorga
Maidana is good but there is levels to boxing and cotto is above Maidana
Should be a good exciting fight, but I see no way Maidana winning it

I'd say Maidana's style is tailor made to kill Cotto.

Cotto would crush Maidana at 154.. Just way too skilled, and cotto's style is tailor made to beat Maidana
I'd say Maidana's style is tailor made to kill Cotto.
Prime for Prime, if this was pre-Margarito 1 then I say Cotto. Currently, I'd say Chino.
I'm glad for Cotto that he was able to get a couple of big fights and money at the tail end of his career but at this point he is just living off of his name. Right now, Maidana would kill him and could seriously hurt Cotto. He should retire.
currently?? im one of maidana's biggest fan but theres no way that this version can get in shape for a fight this year! the layoff, the weight? he would probably gas in the first couple of rounds
