I hope it isn't fight of the year, otherwise Cotto will lose again. It should still be a good action fight, but a lot more boxing involved. I hope it's more akin to Mosley/Margarito as that is the way I see Cotto winning, strategy wise at least.

It's going to be even better than the 1st fight. They didn't even hate each other before the 1st fight. This fight has some real hate behind it.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!

I see Cotto losing this fight and I used to be a huge Cotto fan, but I'm not really a fan of his style anymore, he has obvious stamina issues, can't fight going backwards for more than 2 rounds, and can't stick to gameplans and tries to get into exchanges when that's obviously not a strength of his

I see Cotto getting knocked out in around 9 or 10 rounds, or a late stoppage by the referee, bad style matchup for Floyd, he needs to be fighting guys more like Floyd, guys who aren't as aggressive (I'm not saying he'd beat Floyd, but it would be a fight where he wouldn't take as much punishment), maybe a Clottey rematch or something, but Margarito is a bad matchup for Cotto, I could see this being his final fight if it ends as badly as I think it will

How is Cotto the one being cashed out? He still has many opportunities ahead of him. If anything, it's Marg that's being cashed out. He just came off a severe beating from Manny and now he's gonna step in against Cotto after a year away from the ring. Marg also has no PPV drawing power whatsoever and Cotto does so I highly doubt that Cotto is being cashed out.

I just mean that Arum realizes Cotto's past his prime (and his prime wasn't even that great) and this is the last fight he can get a decent amount of money from Cotto with, who else would people pay to see Cotto fight besides Mayweather? Nobody is paying to see a Mosley rematch, or Pacquiao rematch, I'm not even buying this Cotto/Marg PPV..waste of money IMO

I see Cotto winning this time but the weight worries me, 153 Marg can be dangerous with the pressure. If Cotto stamina holds up and he utilizes his clinches then he'll win imo. The problem with Cotto was that his footwork is quite slow and he tends to lay on the ropes (bad mistake against Marg). I wouldn't be surprise if either of them wins, Cotto will be targeting that eye for sure.

lol it's the other way there buddy, Arum is cashing out on Margarito, a guy who hasn't had a meaningful victory since summer of 2008. Margarito is done, but Arum knows this is the last fight he can make big money from Margarito.

200,000 paid to watch him fight Ricardo freakin Mayorga, I'm sure there's plenty of opponents for Cotto to have a big fight. And really? His prime was not great? Gimme a break.

I agree with him being past his prime now but to think Bob Arum would cash out Cotto right now is just ridiculous and bad business sense. And it shows that you really don't know Bob Arum very well, he'll squeeze every last penny he can from a fighter and right now sure is hell isn't the time to do that with Cotto. As for Marg...
