It's a tad long so bear with me if you can.
his next fight is the first step in that direction.
IF he is not permanently damage by the marga fight,
(which is very possible) he's on his way.
by no means do i think the jennings fight is a given for cotto.
this is his first fight back from the marga fight;
and we have yet to see what he looks like in the ring,
after that heart breaking loss last year.
i expect jennings to be a consummate professional who'll fight his best
(so i hope so)for as long as the fight lasts.
but in the end i see cotto winning this.
that's one trinket down.
next, i would love to see a unification tourney at welter,
between mosley, cotto, berto, and clottey.
this in my opinion, would be an incredibly entertaining,
and competitive way to resolve all the abc bull**** at welter
(like they had at middle in 2001).
hbo needs to pony up the money for this.
this would do very well in my opinion.
everybody should get even money,
even if shane and cotto are the biggest names.
i think both of them would take even money,
if the undisputed title is on the line.
i think the mosley cotto rematch should be for the championship so,
match up cotto with clottey or berto, and mosley with the other.
put both fights on the same card,
and have the four belts with the ring magazine belt on the line.
cotto can lose vs all those guys; but he can beat them all as well.
IMO, i think berto would give him his toughest fight.
berto, is young, gifted, and showed alot of heart in his last fight.
he's got the power, and the hand speed to trouble cotto.
a victory for cotto would hinge on him returning to his bread and butter,
and improving his defense(D-FENSE!).
clottey, though i believe is one of the most underrated fighters in the world,
has yet to show that he has what it takes to become a great fighter.and it all has to do with his opponents.i blame bob arum for that.he's a very good combo puncher, with very good defense, and average stamina.
his stamina is worse than cotto's.
Shane.now, shane looked great against collazo,and looked okay vs cotto.
he looked great against margarito, and he'll look okay vs cotto.
margarito was a big target, so he had a field day in the ring that day.
but theirs a lot less of cotto to hit.even shane said it after their fight.
some people have this idea that mosley was robbed.
which is utterly ridiculous.i don't remember the score i had.
but the rounds i had for cotto, where clearly cotto's,
and the majority of rounds i had for shane where closer.
this is why, depending how he looks vs jennings,
and how much the fight vs marga affected him long term,
i see cotto beating shane again.
he could just as well lose to all of them, but i believe in cotto.
i pray to him everyday.
j/k
if everything goes as i planned, (which will most likely not happen
)
cotto will be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world,
by the end of this year.
than next year, he pulls a joe louis vs max schmeling 2, and whoops margarito's ass into retirement.
after all this occurs( if it does)
i can see hatton(if he beats pac),
or mayweather(if he comes out of retirement),
or pacquiao(if he beats hatton,and continues fighting, mainly against may)
wanting a fight with cotto.
and if cotto becomes the victor out of one of those,
I'd say he would be the best p4p fighter in the world.
(i see diaz beating marquez, and hop retiring by that time)
yer thoughts?
Its possible if he fights and beats the great fighters in and around his division.
Cotto is lucky he is around a weight division that is stacked there are many great fighters throughout history that came along at the wrong time or weight.Comment

I think whether or not Cotto cracks the top 4 any time soon depends more on others retiring or losing than anything that's actually in his hands
He's certainly good enough to be considered a top 10 pound-for-pound fighter, but a top 3 or 4 spot is much harder to come byComment
