Cotto v. Berto for June 12th, anybody?

[NWO4Life]

Sound good to anybody? If May v. Mosley gets done (lets hope) and Pac-Clottey are fighting and both fights are around the March/April time period, that sort of leaves Berto out in the cold if he wanted to get a big fight when he is ready sometime late-spring early summer. I doubt he'd wanna go with Collazo again b/c he'd have everything to lose and nothing to gain...a fight w/ Cotto makes a lot of sense to me. That would be a big fight, and it is the only thing close to a Mosley fight for Berto if he still wants a big fight.

I'd much rather see this fight than Cotto v Foreman and Berto v whoever (unless it is Collazo, I wouldnt mind seeing a rematch but I doubt Berto will risk future paydays like that). Cotto v Berto would be a pretty big attraction and a ppv worthy bout. I'm still sorta surprised that Mosley/Berto was gonna be on "free" HBO, but I aint complaining.

Way better than the Foreman fight.

i like it.....would'nt miss it for anything...

[NWO4Life]

Anyone else think this would be a good option for both? Berto is gonna need a month or two anyway to get his family taken care of and get his head right before going into training for his next fight, and Cotto is locked to fight someone on June 12 one way or another. Pac,May,and Mosley will all be fighting at some point before Berto is ready to fight again...unless Mosley and May dont fight each other and Mosley just sits around another 5-6 months waiting for Berto to be ready, which I doubt.

C'mon, brothers...who wouldn't rather see a Cotto/Berto matchup in June over the potential matchups out there for both? Plus, NYC has the largest Haitian-American population in the US, I believe, so I'm sure the turnout for Berto would be big in addition to Cotto's fans.

This fight just seems to make sense for both. It's the biggest fight out there for both at the moment, it seems.

This would be a great fight ... i pick Cotto by UD

sounds better then a foreman cotto fight to me but bob arum promotes both yuri and cotto so all the money will stay in house for that fight so thats what will most likely happen good idea though

[AnimalisticMeth]

That would be great but Arum is Cotto's promoter and we all know he loves to keep the money in house. Still that would be a bigger fight and it would be for a title.

[savorduhflavor]

Great fight. I would prefer it to the Foreman fight.

[DLT]

Great fight and in New York it would be major

[NWO4Life]

I think the best case scenario for the Welterweight division as a whole would be for this fight to go down and May/mosley to actually occur (wishful thinking, I know).

We would then have:

Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey for the WBO WW title.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley for the WBA WW title.

Andre Berto vs. Miguel Cotto for the WBC WW title.

and MAYBE, although I don't like the idea of a cheater being rewarded...

Antonio Margarito vs. Jan Zaveck for the IBF WW title (would make a good "return" bout for Margs, although probably unlikely to get made)

Who wouldn't like to see a sort of defacto tourney for the WW title go down like that? Unify 2 of 4 titles in the matchups afterwards and then unify em all in the final match and the winner is the superultramegadiamondspectaculosocampeonatodelmund o.
