So Mikey Garcia calls out Cotto at 154...

True that, but do you think it would be a big PPV fight? I think Cotto vs the winner of Canelo/GGG would be bigger. I think so too. Cotto might want an established opponent.

At 154?! :lol1:

It would be Cotto's last fight and he will be laughing all the way to the bank True that, but do you think it would be a big PPV fight? I think Cotto vs the winner of Canelo/GGG would be bigger.

Cotto hurts him at 154

Gotta give Mikey credit! He doesn't seem the type to talk and not back it up. I think he would fight Cotto if both sides can agree. I would bet Cotto big on this one. Cotto still dangerous and has pop, Mikey not going to be able to handle the diff in size and power. Good fight and will make money!

Mikey outboxes Cotto easily just like Trout did. When was the last time Cotto looked good fighting an actual threat that wasn't injured or drained that had the skill of Mikey? I highly doubt Mikey has the power to keep Cotto off him seeing how he hasnt had the time to build his body up to it. Mikey's a very good boxer and has high ring iq but he doesn't have the special effects to pull this off. He obviously has some pop still at 140 because broner didn't take any risks but he never seriously hurt him so at 154 I can't imagine it. And cottos willing to take some to give some which broner isn't.

Lol at all the discussion over what is likely just some throw away comment not to be taken seriously.

Mikey is hungry and chasing big fights I wish more were like him, he doesn't want to waste any more time with his career.

He should be calling out Danny Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Figueroa, Easter, etc. PBC fights that are supposedly easier to make than those outside of PBC.

154 is way too high for Mikey. He didn't have much power vs broner so moving up two weights will turn him into a malignaggi puncher Cottos farewell fight needs to be carefully selected if he vlues his health. If he wants an easy win he could have the decider with Margarito but I think Cotto thinks that revenge closed the book on that and he is happy to leave it at 1-1. Hes not going to fight an up and comer so its either an old washed up name or take a gamble and fight one of the top fighters. He isnt a middleweight but Lemiuex has been stopped a couple times and that could be built into a big fight. Id make Cotto an underdog but it’s a winnable fight if he keeps moving and using his boxing skills. I don't see Mikey as a big threat after jumping up three weight classes. Plus Cotto needs a retirement check so he needs a notable but not dangerous opponent.

Mikey has gigantic heart and balls of iron! Cotto would put him on a stretcher b4 6th round!

I think this is bad for Cotto, if he wins, he beat a small Jr. WW at Jr. MW and if he loses, same thing. It would be Cotto's last fight and he will be laughing all the way to the bank

Mikey walks around at 160+ by his own admission. It's nice that he wants big fights at all of these weights, but I think Cotto still has enough in the tank to beat him.

I'd be picking Cotto in this one.

Cotto is old but he murks mikey. Garcia had no pop at 140 now add 14 more lbs and he is more feather fisted than Paulie malinaggi

lol Garcia looked chubs at 140lbs can you imagine him at 154lbs

I think this is bad for Cotto, if he wins, he beat a small Jr. WW at Jr. MW and if he loses, same thing.

Does Mikey have Jeff Horn "I can Beat the World Syndrome"? Good fight at 140 against Broner, Top 10 fighter in the world but Cotto at 154 before the end of December; get real or get killed.

Broner is probably his last fight among Haymon's top guys. He's going to have to look for non-PBC (Part-time Boxing Champions) fighters from now on. He called out Danny Garcia, no response. He called out TR Loma, plenty of responses. I'm sure Cotto would. This is the same Mikey who jumped ship precisely to not have to deal with Arum and GBP. Pathetic part-time boxing champions.
