I'd like to see him fight Floyd if the Pac fight falls through. If not him, Canelo would be pretty good.

See here's the thing. Miguel Cotto has earned the right to fight the elite fighters in the sport. Hold on you boxing purists I know what your thinking. He hasn't fought this guy or that guy in his weight class and you would be correct. What he has done is win fights and made a name for himself along the way.
The boxing game has changed. While we all clamor to see the best fight the best and watch promoters hold on to their fighters as though they were hostages. We miss out on good fights regardless of anyone's opinion of the fighters.
What Hopkins, De La Hoya and Mayweather learned along the way was how to put a bigger chunk of that green into their own pockets and rightfully so. They are the ones taking the meaningful risks.
Win loose or draw Miguel Cotto brings it to each and everyone of his fights and has earned whats coming to him. The big dance and the big bucks. Does he beat this guy or loose to that one ? He's prideful and he brings it. Good enough for me !!!
Let me give you an example so my puerto rican friends don't think I'm just pro Mexican.
When Marquez was set to fight Pac, I said it was a BS fight and didn't want to see it because I didn't want to see Marquez get knocked out. Not only was I wrong about Marquez but at the same time I was happy he was getting a big payday.
IF Cotto made the fight with Pac or Mayweather, good for him money wise. As a fan I don't want to see it even though anything can happen.Comment

Cotto is not that same cotto against pacman (which btw, he did have quite a bit of success against pac the first 6 rounds, just got caught with some crazy shots when he got too rambuctous(sp?) and let his guard down). He tried bullying pacquiao, and got caught. Pac can be outboxed, as thats the style that can beat him, but cotto tried playing the bully. Cotto's a better boxer now than when he was against pac.
Not to mention, if cottos last fight was any indication, his right hand is back, and would be huge against a southpaw manny.
I dont see cotto outbozing mayweather, but i can see him wearing mayweather down, with constant smart pressure, and a sustained body attack. Cottos jab would be huge aswell. He's way more of a credible opponent than robert ***n guerrero at this point.Comment

Anyway id like a Pacquaio rematch, a chance to avenge his only other defeat and gain elite p4p status
Its winnable if the weight is fair and the gameplan is solid and i think it would be this time, he knows he cant trade with Pac and he seems to want to box more now
Other than that - Saul Alvarez. Saul is a quality fighter and a rival JMW Champion, he brings credibility, an undefeated record, a belt and huge PPV numbers, the fact that he is Mexican and has that win over Cotto's brother would also all help sell it. Make this fightComment
