Miguel Cotto vs. Lamont Peterson...coming in December

What an odd matchup coming from left field. I don't even know how to feel about this one

Hope this happens....

Lol pickin on a small guy. Formula for todays boxing stars!

Cotto would mop the floor with Lara. His jab is excellent, so is body punching. Good at cutting the ring off. Applies intelligent pressure when needs to. He would brake him, if the fight ever gets made we'll do an all in bet. That's one fight I would honestly do a perm bet. Cotto wants no part of him

lamont hasnt fought in a year and isnt very big.. cotto knows lara beats him easy Cotto would mop the floor with Lara. His jab is excellent, so is body punching. Good at cutting the ring off.

Lamont will school him.

Its so obvious Cotto and his team are not interested in any tough fights at all. He should probably just retire after this fight.

The tweet says that we'd be happy about the match-ups; Cotto/Peterson doesn't get me excited at all. Lamont is taller/longer than Cotto, and their fight night weights will be similar. It's such a weird match-up to make, even-though their styles seem to mesh pretty well. I guess it could be entertaining if Peterson doesn't get KO'ed quickly. Cotto vs. Peterson = LAME.

do you want to see better Cotto vs Pacquiao at 150lb At 150 lbs. You heard it here first. Who's buying this PPV? do you want to see better Cotto vs Pacquiao at 150lb Cotto need to make his 15million and this is the only way

im a big lamont fan but he loses this one

That's a random fight. Definition of a cherry pick on Cotto's part. Why don't he just rematch Trout?

Why? Cotto only has a few fights left. This is meaningless. What does it prove if he beats a guy Lucas bombed out?

"Why Lamont Peterson"? Why? He can't punch! Less than 50% KO rate and that's a safe opponent for Cotto. Why not a Bradley he has plenty of millage and doesn't hit hard but he also has fought at 147 for some time now where as Peterson is basically a super lightweight not known for power. He also has been off his feet a lot in his career. Why not Thurman at 150, I bet Thurman takes the fight. Ray

Cotto's options suck.. I was hoping that if he can't get a big name/payday, he'd at least take on a good challenge (top5 from 154). Blah. Disappointed.

Kneeguel Cotto everybody. http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/clap.gif http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/clap.gif

Cotto tough fight but winnable fight for Peterson

Seems like a decent fight.

I don't buy this; Peterson isn't anywhere near Cotto's level, nor does he help generate 15 million, really. As farfetched as the idea sounded, I'm still hoping it ends up being Maidana. Cotto should only take legend-level fights at this point, at least for the last event in a year. Maidana would fit that bill. I'd accept a Trout rematch, too, and I'd even take Lara just so all of Lara's Internet fans end up becoming Cotto fans. It would make the debates around here easier, lol. Peterson isn't legend-level; I'd consider it a tune-up. Sure, Cotto may be best suited for a tune-up, because of the long layoff, but it's not an exciting fight. Maidana is not bringing in 15 mill either. Cottos options are thin at this point.

Peterson would be f*cked, but I'm still game. It's not a bad fight.

Like both fighters and the CW of 150. Peterson is a talent and Cotto is Cotto not sure if PPV but im thinking But.. If Omar is on the card and fighting someone "exciting" then im in. Hes must see.
