Why are people saying Cotto is an option for Floyd?

[Walterson]

Beating Cotto now wouldnt shut anyone up, Cotto is worn and need to heal but even then people would say he got beat by Pac and Margarito, Even when Cotto was undefeated he took a lot of punishment in the Judah and Mosley fight, At 140 he found a way to win all his fights but looking back now he was hit too much by people like Ricardo Torres, Corley etc Unless he goes on a monster run without getting hit too much i dont really want to see him face Mayweather.

You forget that you can't shut up haters. They'll put someone in front of you, you knock them down and then they build someone up again. It's a continuous cycle that's never ending.

Mayweather vs Cotto would be competitive and close...people continue to underestimate Miguel Cotto...He has the tools to beat Mayweather and honestly Mayweather can't really hurt Miguel...Pac is a nightmare for Cotto, I don't think Mayweather is for Miguel.

Miguel vs Mayweather

Pac vs Margarito

Losers against one another...winners against one another next March. Make it happen

get real man..floyd would make cotto look real bad..hed shut cotto out and may even stop him cause cotto has no defense at all

[goldenglove2]

This fight isn't a legit fight anymore.....Cotto is not an elite fighter and hasn't been one for a few years now. Plus Bob Arum would never let it happen. So why are people on this board throwing his name out as if it's an option? If Pacquiao or Floyd fights Cotto, they get no credit.

LOL at Cotto not being elite......

I think Cotto at this moment is a great option #2 for Floyd he can shut all the people that say he wont fight anyone dangerous and he can also get a 154 belt which would make pac vs maywether that much bigger,the question is wether Floyd is willing to take a chance and fight Cotto because right now a loss would take him from his biggest payday of his career

dude we're talking about cotto here....floyd would crush cotto at this point of his career. this fight is pointless because floyd would get no credit.

Cotto gave Pacquiao his toughest fight at 147 yet he isnt an elite?

I find it funny because by that logic than Marquez isnt an elite anymore. So Cottos two losses were against Manny Pacquiao teh greatest p4p fighter out there and Plasterito the cheato.

And now Cotto isnt an elite?? I still think Cotto beats Floyd based on a stylistic match up. Cotto has a the best jab at 147 and hits like a horse. Cotto outclassed Shane when Shane still had something in the tank in 2007. Floyd did it 3 years later , how is Floyd more of a superior fighter than Cotto?? FLoyd hasnt fought margarito clottey or pacquiao.

Cotto is an Elite, Joshua CLottey is the cut-off between elite and B class fighters

pbf beats cotto anyday of the week.....cotto has a good jab but if pac was able to time it, so would pbf, who has the best timing in the sport. plus, floyd was able to take away dlh jab at 154, so cotto jab would be a small thing to a giant for pbf.

joshua clottey is nowhere near elite!!!!!!! he is absolutely pure trash. his best best wins are a shot judah and shot 147 chico. clottey is a c+ fighter at best.

[Pacquiao'd]

Cotto is still elite, look he made Yuri look like an amateur. I want to see him against Mayweather. I think he's got a shot against him.

and what are you going to say when floyd destroys him?

Perhaps but Cotto's name was on the hitlist, so Floyd is probably gonna fulfill what he said by fighting those on the list, he gives his fans what they wont, the best fights available.

[Buckfever]

It's a money fight. "Money" Mayweather and Pac fight only money fights. Cotto vs Mayweather would do huge numbers. All of Floyd's fans would watch and who of the PR community wouldn't buy Cotto vs Pretty Boy.

Cotto vs Floyd does over 1 million buys at the PPV. I would say it could even get to 1.6 million buys.

Yeah I agree, it's definitelly a money fight and one Floyd might consider now that Cotto has lost a bit.

I dont mind a Cotto fight at 154 Pounds.
