Cotto Is Doing The Smart Thing With His Career

[BattleAxePurist]

As long as he limits punching off his backfoot and steps into his shots from time to time and work the body a bit more sounds like the right idea if you want to prolong your career.

Mexican fan? I don't have to be a fan of anyone to know that Cotto is a good fighter, but not a great fighter. If Cotto could get past Marquez, he doesn't look any better doing it then then Pac did.

but we all know that fight its not gonna happen so lets just be realistic and talk about what could happen in 2012 not what u would like to happen cuz we all wish alot of things to happen but they dont right?? so lets be realistic and serious buddy

[..WaRSpencE..]

If Cotto has 5 fights left in him, I'll be happy.

the 5 I'd like to see is..

Cotto-Pacquiao II
Cotto-Mayweather
Cotto-Canelo
Cotto-Kirkland
Cotto-Ortiz

I wouldn't rule out a Margarito trilogy, for the fans that are left with questions of what would've happened in rounds 10-12, and the ones complaining that they're currently 1-1.

I'm not sure Miguel Cotto beats Manny Pacquiao at any weight under 154lbs, but I do know that he's got his groove back.

Miguel Cotto was never an "unstoppable" force, or an ATG caliber fighter. I think his win over Margarito definitely makes him confident in himself again. His right hand is a HUGE improvement, and his movement and footwork were a lot better.

I don't think it's fair to count him out just because he's not in Pacquaio or Mayweather's level. He's a talented boxer who's got some left in the tank, and it's an honor to watch. Enjoy Boxing people.

Cotto was not an unstoppable force because he never had a trainer that could mold him in to one, but he always had the talent to become one. Is amazing it took Steward and now Diaz to work on the things that he should have been working from the start of his pro career. Like clinching, the right hand, defense from uppercuts, defense for body punches and learning how to fight moving away from your opponent. Before Diaz started to train Cotto his style of boxing was to move away but not giving angles just backing down on straight lines, he would never circle or turn his opponent and also lets not forget the habit on stoping on the ropes that **** was there even before the first Margarito fight just look at his fight with Abdulaev. Evangelista and Santiago never did anything to improve Cotto. They work the same **** all the time.

There is no need for a Margarito trilogy and there should be no questions about what could have happen in rounds 10-12. Cotto dominated him and Margarito is not a one punch KO artist he had not laid out the punishment needed to stop Cotto in just 3 rounds and with one eye he had no chance. If anyone would have goten brutaly hurt it was Margarito

he losses all of them except the kirkland fight

[jazluvr]

He beats these 4
Canelo
Kirkland
Ortiz AND
Chevez jr.
...stay away from Floyd and Pac.
no Margo trilogy....he could easily lose his eyesight if he fights anybody good again.

[MR. T2]

he losses all of them except the kirkland fight

wow...

[mathed]

All I want is the Pacman rematch, I'm sure he wins!!

If the Mayweather fight can't be made, I think this will be next. Then, depending on who wins, they will be pitted against Bradley.........all big money in Arum's pockets.

No need? You're the same person who agreed with me with a Williams/Quintana trilogy. Wait till Cotto loses again, you will see that he will think Margarito as big option. $$$$ talks son. Cotto is just like the rest.
But all of that if Margarito really heals that eye, if not then he should retire.
