    Castillo is a horrible pick. I wouldnt want to see Castillo get hurt at this point in his career.

    Cotto should fight Mayweather next, end of. or the winner of Mayweather-Hatton, rather. forget De La Hoya for the time being.

    Still....Margarito vs. Cotto might not make sense on paper...but that would be an awesome fight.
    shhhhh certain people get mad if you mention this.


    Arum either puts Margarito against someone else or i'll be rooting for Castillo to beat Margarito. Doesn't Arum have faith in Margarito by now?

      I understand not fighting Mosley for budget reasons, unless they did it on different dates.

      Cotto/Margarito is an excellent fight. It's still the third option though.

          bah, its the same **** with Floyd vs. Zab, or at least similiar. Judah had lost to Baldomir, but it didnt matter because Floyd vs. Judah was a fight that everyone wanted to see, regardless if Judah was the best in the division at the time, because everyone was wondering if Floyd could deal with Judah's speed and style, which could have posed a big problem for Floyd. so that fight happened. and I dont hold it against Floyd whatsoever.

          Sometimes, fights happen because they would be good. Cotto vs. Margarito is a guarenteed fight of the year candidate, and Margarito's punch output, size, and punching power are things that could pose HUGE problems for Cotto.

          Id rather it be Mayweather-Cotto any day, but Margarito-Cotto fight is #2 on my list.

                Arum must really hate castillo to try and make that match.I really wouldnt want to see that horrible mismatch.A great fighter past his best fighting two divisions above his best weight against a punishing bigger fighter is just sad match making.Why not throw Shane in with Pavlik while were at it.

                    Clottey tends to sit back with his hands up too much. Cotto would eat that up.
