Miguel Cotto's Comeback Fight

[MJ406]

Think about it: he just pissed away about $20 mil for an Oscar fight.

that just shows Cotto isn't all about the money.

and Collazo could be a realistic possibility. Luis hasn't fought since January of this year and could use a fight.

I would put him in against Kermit Cintron in mid-09. Both guys are coming off devestating losses to Maragarito.

Lets have a all Puerto Rican battle.

Cotto may not be "all about the money", but it was a MONUMENTALLY ****** decision.

He could have fought Oscar, banked the $20 million that makes his great-grandchildren rich, and then get his assk kicked by Margarito next spring. And he would have made MUCH more $$ to fight margie in spring '09 because he just got all of the exposure of an Oscar fight (see pbf-hatton).

What did he gain on saturday night that he wouldn't have gained much more after an Oscar fight?

I wanna see Cotto snatch Berto's WBC.

i give that less than 5 rounds to accomplish.

[sparked_85]

why would anyone target Collazo? he's a ****ing nightmare.

Not him anyway.

Cotto vs. Hatton or Malignaggi at 147? Please, both of them would get eaten alive. Did you see what a weight drained Cotto did to Paulie at 140? It'd be a massacre.

Isn't the smart thing to get Migs some confidence and re-establish his name before you put him in a big-money fight?

You need to get fans back on board. Very few guys sell after a bad loss. Miguel would be giving up too much negotiating leverage coming off a loss like that.

"Fans back on board?" you need to pay attention to this forum or any other - there's not a single Cotto fan who's said they've given up on him - in fact, he's gained more respect and more fans.

at least Cotto has cohones

I thought Oscar didn't want to fight a Puerto Rican.

but assuming the Marg-Cotto fight would have gone down the same way (and this might be too big a stretch to make as it would be in 2009 according to your scenario)

he would have had $20 Million more in the bank and at least twice the exposure, but that's also assuming that Cotto could get by DLH. (it's a hypothetical so I'll leave the result open ended)

again Cotto has a little thing called pride, which is why he took on Margarito instead.

he doesn't run his mouth or spout bull**** about how "if it don't make dollars it don't make sense"

or "how many PPV's has he sold?"

and I don't even like Cotto, (not a huge fan) but at least he took the tougher fight rather then cash out vs a big name 35 year old who can no longer win the big one.


**I just can't wait till Mayweather comments on the Cotto/Margarito fight because in all honesty unless Floyd plans to fight either one he shouldn't say ****. Sure Floyd will say "Cotto wasn't crap" or even call him over rated. but I don't see Mayweather stepping into the ring with Margarito or Cotto anytime soon. (of course that could change, but I doubt it)

and what has Collazo done at 147? granted he did break his thumb vs Mosley, but he'd be a good name for Cotto to take on

unless Collazo can get that fight with Berto.

[Zocalo]

Cotto vs Cintron in San Juan.

Get it done...

You need to pay attention to the point that WE ARE NOT TYPICAL FANS. We are the top 5% hardcore fans. Listen, asswipe, the typical casual Puerto Rican fan doesn't post hundreds or thousands of posts in some forum.

Such a moron.
