Carlos Quintana To Make an Optional Defense

[malcolm]

Paul Williams would be nuts not to exercise that rematch clause and fight Quintana again, immediatley.

[Jim Jeffries]

I don't know why people can't understand that Oscar is looking for an easy tune up match, not a crafty southpaw with a worthless (to him) title.

It might make the Mayweather fight bigger by billing it as a unification bout, but it's certainly not worth the risk. Quintana would not be an easy fight for him at all at this point.

i like the idea of 2 puerto ricans fighting at msg, quintana vs. collazo.
it would be an akward fight, but it would be fun to watch.

Cotto is fighting the winner of Margarito-Cintron I think.
Quintana should fight the loser of that fight, or Joshua Clottey.
All exciting matchups.

I don't think you can sell it as a main event, but it would make a good PPV co-feature for something like Cotto-Margarito.

Looks like Dibella and Quintana tried to lure one of the big names to fight him, but couldn't. I wonder who his optional defense is. I would like to see him fight Berto or Clottey.

Good choices. Include Collazo.

My guess would be more money, and that title means nothing to Shane. He knows he won't be considered the champion with a loss to Cotto and without beating Mayweather.

Mosley did say he wanted another shot at a tittle. Quintana got one. Beating Quintana and having a tittle makes it more interesting if PBF ever considers fighting him next year. (Obviously ducking Cotto for the older Champ.)
