Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: I Want To Do Cotto vs. Chavez Clash in MSG

[PRking718]

I don't mean to rain on you parade, but don't overreact to Cotto's win last night. Margarito is basically a walking heavy bag at this point, and he was still touching Cotto more than he should have been.

No worries, Margarito always been a punchbag though and Cotto stood to trade plenty of times bc I think he was tired, which is NOT good thing but still he ate the punches a lot better and what I said was true dude, Cotto will outclass all of them guys I think Floyd will kick his ass though.

Chavez best wins are against handpicked fighters ready to loose. Cotto would take Chavez Jr to school. Everybody knows Jr is a moneymaking paper champion.

I like Lara but he's in a tough spot.

In tha division Canelo also fights, and he's the favorite of Oscar, so Lara will not get those kinds of fights, he should try to go to TopRank they know how to develop Puerto Rican and Cuban talent.

I do think that he beats JR. at this point, but I don't know about Alvarez.

Berto called out Manny and Floyd. Martinez called out Manny and Floyd, so did Khan, Bradley, etc. A lot of people call others out, its called trying to get a payday. So eveyone who calls out fighters should get the fight? If it was like that then Pac and Floyd are the biggest *****es bc they always getting called out and never fight. I KNOW you not suggesting Cotto ducked this kid Berto?! Dont be foolish man Cotto would take these kids to school. A little power they got yeah but they not ****ing with Cotto's skill. Ortiz got nothing for Cotto man you have to see that the skill level is not there. Ortiz is going to try and bullrush Cotto but will be outclassed.

Calling someone out is something any fighter can do but being worthy of the fight is a different thing. Cotto is more skillful than Chavez but is too small and battleworn. It would be interesting until Chavez catches Cotto. I love Cotto but I am saying he wanted none of Berto at that time. Foreman had Cotto reeling and Margarito was giving him problems last night. Marquez would beat Cotto at this point @ 47 so would Ortiz and any of the other top dawgs at 54. Cotto/Williams would be interesting but I doubt if Arum would let that happen. If you think Cheato was relentless what do you think Ortiz would be? I see him busting Cotto up and stopping him, especially if it's the Ortiz that fought Berto. Ortiz is faster and a better boxer than Tony.

its funny how all the puerto ricans takin credit from yesterdays win,cottito should give half his purse to paquiao and the other half to the docotrs for saving him,its also funny how they say they have a rivalry whit mexico its not a rivalry mexicans are above boricuas and thats a fact,enjoy ur little win pr cuz chavez jr is next.

[orlandoernandez]

Cotto will kill chavez jr. C'mon bob.

[Check_hooks]

Can you imagine how boring a Cotto-Floyd fight will be? Two of the biggest runners in boxing lmao

And Cotto will want his last payday to be his biggest. A JCC Jr fight won't even do 500k PPV's. A Pacquiao rematch in MSG will easily do over a mill. If it don't make dollars than it don't make sense.

Very true. Cotto was getting hit often with the same punches that stopped him the first time. His wife was even covering up her eyes. Cheato was coming hard before the fight was stopped. Good win for Cotto but nothing to say he's back or to get excited about.
