Margarito should start his own clothing line too. It can be called "No Regard for Cotton" as everything is made from hemp......
Cotto invests in oil.

It's good to see that fighters other than DLH are investing they're money and thinking about a life AFTER boxing.Comment

Forget Ricky Hatton,that fight wont happen.Ricky doesnt like fighting proper ****ers.Its great to see a fighter (cotto) who is going to be well off when HE is ready to retire rather than being broke and having to fight on just for a pay check.
Its one of the saddest things in boxing to me when a fighter is way past his prime and fighting on his name just to get a few good paychecks because they spent all their money earlier in their career...not saying cotto is old or past his prime but its good that it wont have to be that way down the line.
Cotto is what? 28?
i have a hard time believing in the next 2-3 years he will retire.
in my opinion he could cement his legacy in the next 2-3 years if he fights the right opponents...
He's cleaned out the welterweights...if he beats margarito then all thats left really is williams...and from there he can fight the catch weight fights or the fights from the big names coming up from 140 or down from 154...
who falls under that categorey? ricky hatton (his career is near its end so he could move up again to 147 to fight cotto if the price is right in my opinion regardless of what he says), manny pacquiao (pacquiao comes in at 145-148 on fight night lately so its not an unreasonable idea), maybe oscar de la hoya.
so if cotto gets past margarito he pretty much runs the table in boxing in my opinion...at least at welter and at 154/140.
if he fights 2-3 years and fights 3 times a year we're looking at 6-9 fights.
what i'd like to see is:
cotto versus:
1. margarito (thats coming up)
2. oscar de la hoya
3. ricky hatton
4. manny pacquiao
5. paul williams
6. joshua clottey
(assuming he only fights for 2 years)
i think that would work wonders for his legacy.Comment

I have my doubts the fight with Manny will really happen.Manny throws many punches,painful punches and Ricky doesnt like that ,he didnt mind when he was fighting bums in England but not anymore.
Before Ricky fought Lazcano,he already had a deal to fight Paulie.Now he has an opportunity to agree in principle to fight Manny he wasnt to keen on that fight.
As usual his father will come and tell us 'Ricky is doing it for the fans' and chose someone else.Comment
