Cotto asking the fans on twitter who to fight next

[~AK49~]

what about Martinez?

What about martinez? Martinez would probably put a whooping on cotto (moreso than pac or may imo). Cotto does have the skill to give martinez problems, and if all the fans wanted it and the money was right, cotto might even be inclined to take that fight. All things considered, there are better options for cotto out there atm, especially money wise.

what about Martinez?

I think we should let Martinez fight Margarito at 160.

Really going out on a limb there chief. Imagine that, a guy naturally a couple divisions heavier would beat a smaller guy.

The beauty of it is, cotto aint even scurred.

true, but ppl talk about it like Cotto would win.

If I was Floyd, I'd do whatever is necessary to make this fight happen - first of all, that's a BIG name. Secondly, he gets to shove it to Top Rank. Thirdly, that's a solid fight, a good fight - in terms of available opposition, that's a damn good second option in my opinion.

If Cotto wants to go the Canelo route, I say don't let GB bully you, take that fight to MSG on June 9th (I don't see how this could be on an undercard on May 5th).

Everytime i see chavez, he gets better. His body attack is brutal aswell. I think it would be a tough tough fight, for both fighters imo. Chavez is a way bigger guy whos getting better and can punch hard (sometimes/fairly often gets sloppy tho), and cotto is quite a damn good boxer who has power aswell.

Jmm isnt naturally 20-30 lbs heavier either, nor is the harder puncher nor quicker in the higher weight divisions.

Bad approach aside, for the first part of the cotto-pac fight, it was back and forth with each fighter giving and taking. In the fourth round before the knockdown, you didnt know which way the fight was going to go, as cotto was laying it on manny.

Cotto IS a better boxer today than in the first fight. He's better on his feet, using his right hand, tieing up, etc. It wwould be a great fight, and to dismiss it would be rather naive/stanish imo.

Weight goes out the window with Pac. Pac fought a better version of Marg than when Cotto fought him the second time and completely dominated a man that was 170lbs.

You overestimate what Cotto did in that fight vs Pac. He did good in the first 2 rounds and had his moments in the fight but overall, was completely dominated after the first two rounds. It wasn't close and Cotto doesn't have the speed, pressure or counter punching to ever beat Pac.

He's also not better, he's looked better against ****ty opponents. He's beaten old ass Mayorga, and worn out Margarito. Not to mention Yuri Foreman so his past 3 wins aren't necessarily against lb for lb great fighters.

Cotto should fight Canelo or Jr.

I agree that he can't beat Manny, but that's just not true man. The writing was on the wall and you can see which way the fight was going, but Cotto was not dominated in rounds 3-5.

It's petty and it doesn't matter cause he got his ass whooped but that's just inaccurate. Outside of a flash KD he won the 3rd, was winning the 4th until the KD and then won the 5th. Overall, yea he got killed over the second half of the fight so it's fine to say Pac dominated him, but he didn't "dominate" after the 2nd. He dominated after the 6th. And he really put a beating on Miguel.

i have to agree. I haven't given him much credit in the past, but have to say he is looking very very good lately.

If you take the perspective of effectiveness of shots, Cotto was dominated. Like I said, he had his moments in there with Manny but he never was in a position outside of the 2nd round where I felt that he was going to win this fight.

He was landing some jabs (he has a great jab) and was delivering some shots in spurts but overall, it was Manny in control of the fight.

There's no reason to want to see him fight Manny again, or Mayweather because that will be worse.

Sorry, you guys need to think with your head and not your heart.
