Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: Once Chavez Jr. Wins, I'll Know What's Next

[Danny Gunz]

Chavez Jr. needs to step up eventually and this could be a great fight for Cotto. I dont have much of a problem with it.

[codey]

so it will be between margarito or chavez jr to see who ends cottos career. cant wait!

End cotto's career? you gotta be kidding me bro! Many have tried but only two emerged from the bunch!
1. Plaster de paris
2. Peds!

The only way to beat cotto is by cheating! Believe that!

Lol couldnt have said it better...cotto lost to the two biggest cheaters in the history of professional sports and these guys are acting like just anyone can go beat him...laughable

by saying this i think Cotto is showing he is NOT willing to fight the real elite of the middleweight division. I know for a fact a Martinez vs Cotto would generate money! But Cotto knows Martinez will make him look old and washed up. Martinez is the guy that everyone is scared to fight. point blank.

Again, why not fight Angulo in PR? or maybe Cintron in PR, that'd be a huge deal on the island. right?

The same could be said for Chavez Jr. not "willing to fight the real elite of the middleweight.." HE already pulled out of a Cotto fight last year citing a cold or some other excuse..

Why has Chavez shown NO interest in fighting Martinez? Cotto is not true Jr. Middle and has NO business at 160 period.

I still want to see Cotto vs Margarito II.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

chavez is a bum but a legit middleweight vs a small jr middleweight has a decent advantage. and yeah if cotto wins, he aint getting credit for it. if h loses, he will be slayed big time.

So is he a bum or lagit?

Size means nothing if he's trash like you guys say, why so worried?

Is this why?

How the hell Chavez is going to make 154 is beyond me.

I believe the fight is at 160, not 154....

[vacon04]

I think that Chavez Jr is too big at 160, but still Chavez Jr has no punching power and hasn't fought any good fighter in his entire career. I live in Mexico and he's completely overrated because of TV Azteca, and even if he beats Zbik (which I haven't fight seen by the way) I don't believe that he would be able to beat Cotto. Maravilla? Well Martinez is out of the question, he would destroy Chavez Jr and Cotto at the same time!
The only thing that I hope is that Chavez Jr doesn't start making excuses. About a year ago he said he wanted Cotto but never did anything to get a fight. Then he said he wanted Martinez, but guess what? He didn't do anything to get that fight either. And then when he was going to fight Wolak, suddenly he got fever and dropped out of that fight also.
Something that nobody has mentioned is that there is also Veneno Rubio, who destroyed Lemieux in Canada this year. He also said that he wanted the winner of Zbik and Chavez Jr. Do you see the pattern? Everybody wants the winner of that fight because Cotto, Veneno and Martinez know that it's the easiest way to get the championship, no matter if Chavez Jr or Zbik wins.

Dude so now you don't want to see the fight

[rey guey]

Sergio Martinez wanted to fight Cotto back in Feb for the WBC middleweight belt at 155. Arum low balled Martinez and it fell through.

Martinez is and will always be "too big" for Top Rank fighters.

Cotto would fight Martinez but Arum is desperately trying to keep his cash cows intact. Arum doesn't want Chavez or Cotto anywhere near Martinez at any weight.

nobody is touching Martinez period, he's just too dangerous.
