Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Won't Rule Out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez

[freedom213]

He has the ability weapons to beat any of those opponents and a trainer who seems to know the importance of a good game plan for him. Just depends if he can execute.

To me his best options would be in this order:

Alvarez: Get the kid before he likely gets much better and while he is a huge attraction. Personally i think this is an easy fight for him. Alvarez has seen nothing close to Cottos level and probably never faced anyone that punches as hard as Cotto.

Chavez: At 157 this fight would again be a huge box office fight and one that Cotto could likely easily outbox jr on.

Mayweather: I think Mayweather may not be the same fighter post jail. I see him trying to get his life together, taking a year off then realizing he needs money. Cotto has two weapons that I think Money may be susceptible to: a damaging jab and body punching.

Pac: All I can say about this fight is Cotto has a much better shot with a trainer and above welterweight.

All other opponents do not offer enough green to get Cotto in the ring and that includes Sergio. Sergio needs to stop crying and fight his way to the top.

Cotto first needs to understand that he outgrew 147 a long time ago, he may think he can make 47 still but I think his body is saying otherwise.. he's been at 54 for a while now and he was gassing out late against marg, the extra weight has been helping cotto in the stmina department, I could see even ortiz giving cotto trouble at 47 so getting in there with someone with the amount of stamina as floyd jr wouldn't be wise imo... he can make a lot of money but will take another L, he has a better chance of beating Pac because its clear that pac hasn't been juicing for his past 2 fights,imo its either that or wear and tear has caught up with him but pacquiao ain't the same fighter from 09 that cotto fought..

I would have considered you a true boxing fan if the bolded statement wasn't there. Come on homie, stop that PEDs bullcrap.

Cotto is very very vulnerable sorry, Even in winning against Margarito he looked like a fighter that might be stopped with him shipping uppercuts on the ropes and then getting out of it and then jogging backwards, Cotto against a one eye Margarito might look classy to you but to people who arent in love with Cotto they could see he is done as a top fighter, And against any top fighter or young up and comer Cotto would get stopped..

Ray Margarito isnt the fighter he was but the style he has and the pressure he brings is all wrong for Miguel but Cotto won every round and even if u feel it was gonna get rougher down the stretch there was NO indication that a stoppage win for Margarito was on the cards and he ws too far behind on the cards to have a prayer.

Cotto is vulnerable its part of the reason i like him. If he fights top young guys in Kirkland or Alvarez name ur bet and we are good to go...

They have a shot sure, like i just said Cotto is vulnerable past his best and they are both top young fighters but im banking on Miguel's top flight experience and the jab to get him the wins, he still has something left and will be back to full confidence having finally erased the ghosts of the Margarito fight

I am guessing that Bradley will fight Marquez and Pacquiao will fight Cotto. Just a guess.

Am down with a bet if he fights Canelo, Kirkland am not too sure because Kirkland might get KO himself while trying to bum-rush Cotto but even now i see Canelo beating him, Cotto for me WAS not impressive against Margarito, Mentally i think he definitely impress me in that fight but the actual fight itself wasnt an impressive performance, He had Margarito's eye close and was still running and jogging backwards? Nah!!! I like Cotto because he epitomise the fighters of back in the days, Fighters who just fight without looking for advantages before they step in the ring with you but for me he doesnt have much left.

No mention of Sergio Martinez...hmm..

WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) is officially a free agent. The Puerto Rican star's contract with Top Rank expired on December 31st. Cotto is sizing up his options for 2012 and he doesn't rule out any of the possibilities. Cotto is planning to continue working with Top Rank, likely without a contract, on a fight by fight basis.

Well i must admit i prefer the Alvarez fight sooner rather than later before Young Saul gets any better, i rate him. I though there was a few things Miguel could have done better but id have instructed him to stick with the plan and not try to put it on Tony despite the eye injury, Margarito has one hell of a chin and Cotto while a good puncher isnt a MASSIVE hitter at 154, it would have given Tony his only chance because he wasnt winning the boxing match.

I Hope your wrong and I think Miguel has some fire in the tank still but i guess only time will tell

[Mr. Philadel]

Cotto needs to let Arum know the deal and make him work with GBP on a few fights. Kirkland and Canelo are the best fights for him at 154. Floyd at 147 would be good too.

Cotto better stay far away from that work....not a good match up for Cotto imo....a dream fight for Kirkland...again imo!!

Martinez doesnt bring what the fighters mentioned bring to the table financially. I dont care and im sure you dont either but in reality 99% of these fighters are about their money and since boxing is their job I dont blame them.
