Chavez just on his size and style alone.....
I think Canelo is an easier fight for Cotto than Chavez jr.

If Chavez fights on the outside (and uses his height) like he did against Manfredo, he could give Cotto some trouble. If Chavez goes Margarito mode and puts pressure, he he could give Cotto some trouble. Assuming Cotto weights 160-165 on fight night, Chavez will have 15-20 pounds him. Combine his weight advantage with his generally iron chin , I have a tough time seeing Cotto being able to hurt him.
Despite what Bob says, I don't think Cotto is really interested.Comment

didn't cotto express some interest in fighting chavez in the past, maybe last year?
I can see him wanting to win that fourth division title. Plus I reckon it's a pretty good money fight.
I'm sure bob will really push hard for this fight, as pretty much everyone else at 154 is Golden Boy (Canelo, Kirkland, Lara, Molina, Angulo).Comment

The thing is that Chavez has gotten huge as **** since last year. Maybe he was interested before, but I think seeing that HBO fight night weight would scare off any 154 pounder from making his first fight at middleweight against Chavez. And we all know how undisciplined Chavez is so it's not like he's going to lose extra weight even with a 155 catch weight.
Chavez needs to fight his mandatory first so Cotto isn't next at least. My prediction is that Martinez will just drop the issue and fight Macklin. Chavez will then fight Rubio. Or Chavez vacates so no belt.Last edited by DoktorSleepless; 12-05-2011, 05:43 PM.Comment

I think you need to shut up about cotto already, all you've been doing is hatin on him for months and you still don't give him any credit. Cotto is a good fighter, deal with it.Comment

Months? I have been hating on Cotto for years. Don't discredit my hating on Cotto like that, Months? you must be crazy. He's an okay fighter.
Canelo beats Cotto at this point. Chavez Jr sucks, can't believe you are actually sold on him. Which win made you believe he's legit?Comment
