Ive made this thread a few times lately about alot of fights and Im making it again. Cotto is a nice guy and a good boxer but it is much better for boxing if he loses. I 1st made a thread like this when Cotto fought Margarito. It wasnt quite like this and I picked Margarito to win but I said that boxing would take a bad hit if Cotto went down because he's an undefeated star who everyone was sweating at the time. Ofcourse the worst of both worlds happened. Cotto got KO and then Margarito was found to be a cheater. It basically brung 2 guys who everyone considered top notch and it took them down a level.
I then made a thread like this about Pac-Hatton. I said that it is much better for boxing if Pac wins because he's a much bigger star, is rated #1, and Hatton doesnt look that great after getting KO by Floyd and looking crappy in some other fights. Thankfully Pac won and now he sets up much better fights with Floyd, Mosley, Cotto, JMM, Khan, Valero, Bradley, and so on. Any of those guys vs Hatton wouldnt have been major fights even if he did beat Pac.
Now we come to Pac-Cotto. I said it before the Clottey fight and I say it even more now but no one agrees. The luster is off Cotto. He's still considered to be a very good fighter but he doesnt have that shine to him anymore. It would so suck if Pac lost. If he won then he could still have major fights with all those other guys I named. However, Cotto just got destroyed by Margarito, didnt look all that super against Jennings, and now was on his bike against Clottey in a fight where alot of people think he lost. That guy cant beat Pac. I mean we all know that he could but Im saying that its not great if he does. I dont mind Pac losing right now to Floyd because he's an undefeated star. I dont mind Pac losing to Mosley because he's also a star who just destroyed Margarito and is the WW champ. However, if Pac loses to a guy who just got slaughtered and looked pretty average in his last fight then that would hurt boxing a ton. The casual fan thinks Pac is a GOD right now and those who know Cotto see him as slightly damaged. If Cotto wins then that sets boxing back alot and we dont even get to see much better fights with Pac against a Mosley or Floyd.
If Cotto wins then Pac probably retires or has a couple of more ok fight and then retires while now Cotto will be raised up some with his win but we wont forget how he's looked recently. Im sorry but Im not exactly super excited about Cotto-Mosley anymore or even Cotto-Floyd. I use to think Cotto-Floyd was a mega fight when both were unbeaten but now its just a solid/ok type fight. Im not just excited about Cotto right now as I am about Floyd, Pac, JMM, Mosley, and Williams. It would just set things back to me and put boxing in a haze. Like where would we go for the big fights? Pac-JMM would be solid but nothing major like it wouldve been. NO way Floyd or Mosley fights Pac then. Cotto is just not that sexy of a fight to me against anyone except a guy like Williams because I think that fight would just be freaky to look at and I actually give Cotto a good chance to win because of his style. If he beat Pac then he should fight Williams next because I think that would make him get his shine back. The Pac fight just wont do enough for me, even if he stops him
