    We need Tszyu-Cotto

    This is the fight we need right now in boxing. A win for Cotto means he is top 3 at 140 and a threatening opponent for Hatton or Floyd. Tszyu needs a win to prove he still belongs with the best at 140 and can perhaps make a comeback to the championship. This fight would answer a lot of questions on both men. Thoughts?

          No offense guys but Kostya showed he had no heart after the Hatton fight IMO he might as well retire.

            I too was pissed that he quit but besides that moment KT has been nothing but heart! Somehting was not right with him and he and trainer Johnny Lewis both knew it...maybe he is finsihed but maybe not...the good thing is that he will live to fight another day if he so chooses.

            I bet Gerald McClellan and his handlers wish he had quit on his stool a lot sooner instead of knowing somehting was wrong and fighting thru it...if any fighter deserves the benefit of the doubt it is Tszyu.

              Gerald McClellan used to be one of my favorite fighters and I think the reason he got beat like he did is because of ****ty British referring.They should have been arrested for the way they let him get pummeled like that.

                Gerald was one of my favorites as well and it was apparent that somehting was wrong with the G-man early on in that bout...had someone have stepped in and stopped the fight some would have called him a ***** but you never know he may have lived to fight another day which would have been worth any amount of name calling.

                    Tszyu/Cotto would be a good fight but I think Tszyu is done and Cotto would beat him anyway. I think it would answer the question (for everyone who doesn't like or know about Cotto) of whether Cotto is on Floyd and Hatton's level. I think these guys are somewhat of a toss up when it comes to who would beat who, but I'd go with Miguel because I've backed him for awhile.

                    I want Hatton/Mayweather, Cotto/Maussa II, and then unification. Hatton and Mayweather deserve each other because they have the 2 best performances and titles at 140. Maussa would be another easy night for Cotto and would set up a unification bout to clear up the 140 picture. Hopefully these bouts are in the works in the near future.
