Lamont Peterson is rumored to be Cotto's next opponent...

It's not too bad a fight i suppose.

Good fight, IMO. Can't see an obvious mismatch, never been a Peterson fan but Cotto ain't what he was. Good second-tier fight.

I think he can make 150 healthy, plus he has an actualy S&C coach. but I think those 3 pounds to get to '47 will dry him out Hell, you could be right. And I just now realized that it's been about 7 years since since he's actually been at WW

Peterson could outbox Cotto I like the matchup

Wasn't this a rumor like a month or 2 ago?

bout time that cheat got his face smashed in

youre still on that :rofl: ibf cleared him calm down but hes black doe The IBF cleared him huh? What about the the company that tested him? It's true. I see you guys talk mad **** about athletes that haven't even tested positive but as soon as it's done to us, you guys make every excuse in the book.

I thought we didn't like cheaters getting a payday? Oh I guess it only applies to .....hmmm nevermind. youre still on that :rofl: ibf cleared him calm down but hes black doe

Not to bad IMO :boxing::boxing: Would have preferred better but this feels like Cotto's swan song

You think so? I've felt for awhile now that he's just been too lazy to make 147. He's been at like 152/153 fighting at JMW and he doesn't look dry at all in weigh ins to me. I think he can make 150 healthy, plus he has an actualy S&C coach. but I think those 3 pounds to get to '47 will dry him out

I saw this on Instagram. What weight though? I don't know if Cotto can make 147 healthy anymore. You think so? I've felt for awhile now that he's just been too lazy to make 147. He's been at like 152/153 fighting at JMW and he doesn't look dry at all in weigh ins to me.

why not thurman?? that could be a ppv fight, and i think cotto stpos thurman...

:rofl: all of a sudden peterson is no good? most of ya wasn't saying that **** when/after he fought DSG. either way... better than that joke gamboa and kirkland... still I would have preferred tim bradley.

Not bad if it's not on PPV

Rigo's going to be the co-main, lol! So Cotto found a light-punching smaller man to fight. He must've seen the Garcia fight liked his chances. Disappointing that if RN/Haymon are willing to do business that it wasn't one of Haymon's good JMW's like J-Rock. Hell, Spence/Cotto or Thurman/Cotto would be a decent ppv, even Porter/Cotto would've been interesting, but not light-punching Peterson. But Cotto already turned down Brook, so he's just looking for a safe payday w/o getting hurt. Cotto's a shot-caller, yet he picked a soft-opponent.

I kind of like it. Lamont can be a real challenge for Cotto. Lamont is a tough guy. He has some moxy! He will give as good as he gets while it last. I just don't think he can handle Cottos body shots. However the guy is tough. He would last longer than Kirkland.

I kind of like it. Lamont can be a real challenge for Cotto.

SMH, since when did Peterson become good? Because he hung tough with DSG? lol, Im not knocking Cotto because this is probably his last fight after a good career but for people to act like Peterson is any good is beyond me...

It's a decent fight, but not PPV worthy. I wonder if Cotto is waiting to see if Brook can pull off the win over Golovkin, then challenge him? I heard they were in talks earlier this year, but I guess Cotto couldn't agree with some terms.
