I've been thinking... I think Cotto has what it takes to beat Floyd...

[jrosales13]

He called out Pac and Margarito which he deserves credit for I'll concede. But why make threads like this if Cotto isn't gonna express any desire to fight Floyd?

When did Cotto call them out?

[fugu]

He didnt call them out. He mentioned them as possible future matchups.

Mayweather wins most likely but I think Cotto would give him a hard fight. Im curious to see how effective Cotto's jab would be.

Okay, almost the same thing though. But why not Floyd?

[BoxerDood]

Cotto is a smart f'n fighter... he hits hard as ****, .. and now he's got Manny Steward in his corner. I think Miguell can present some major problems for Gayweather! Cotto gets into dog fights... Floyd does not. I'll tell you this... Miguel would not have fell apart like Shane did in the second round. Floyd woulda been in a real fight. Miguel would have pushed Floyd to levels he's never been pushed before. ...

And there goes my ticket to leave this thread without even reading the rest.

Never called out anyone, Those were fights that were promised by Top rank, Margarito was promised the cotto fight if he beats cintron and he got it, Cotto was promised the Pacquiao fight if he beat Clottey and he got it. Its not in Cotto's personality to be calling people out, If they ask him after a fight he would alway say yes to names like Mayweather..........Cotto ducks nobody.

Thats what i thought too..

Cotto needs to take some time to rebuild himself. The Marg fight was hard on him, he came back to face Manny too soon.

Both fights could have been Meldrick Taylor style career enders. It's shocking the Marg fight didn't end him given what we know about Marg cheating ways now.

Cotto has lots of talent, lots of natural ability, power, chin, heart, etc. But he needs to just go after good fights and build himself back up to a top fight.

That said, I'd like to see him in a rematch against Margarito before taking another fight with Manny or PBF. And I still want him to take another Yuri Foreman style fight first to build confidence.

But I'd like to see the Marg rematch without Marg cheating like a mfer. I say Cotto gets him in sweet, sweet vengence.

Totally agree with you there, I hope Cotto takes another 2 or 3 gimmick fights before stepping it up, Rebuild a bit or so then go back for the big boys just to let his body heal a bit.
