    cotto being the older fighter who is more of a WW than a LMW and already taken 2 beatings and 3 losses, some would make excuses about age and weight if he loses. let's just say if alvarez beats him, most would say he fit the bill of an "alvarez" opponent going into the fight.
    gamboa has already talked about moving up, even all the way up to 135 to face a guy who should be fighting at WW. gamboa/broner is obviously not happening next so gamboa will be able to test the waters and see how he does at a higher weight before facing broner. alvarez has looked good, but imo i'm more impressed with broner. both men need to face that top elite fighter to prove how great they are, but for the time being, broner's performances are a bit better. i think gamboa is the at the top of his game while cotto, we already know that we've seen the best from him.
    very true man i think Cotto's wear and tear will show up

      Canelo/Cotto and it isn't even close.

      Gamboa/Broner has the potential to be an absolute stinker. I've seen both fighters sit and wait for their man on several occasions. No doubt they'd do it to each other too.

I think it would get pretty heated too bc Broner is ****ing ****** and says mad **** and I can see Gamboa getting heated. Alvarez vs Cotto is also a really bad a$$ fight but I would prefer Gamboa vs. Broner all day.
        Stop it. Bronder can't even make 130. Gamboa has never fought about 126. Stop trying to throw him in there with guys 2-3 weightclasses bigger than him.

          I would have to go with Broner vs Gamboa because I don't think it will ever happen. If it did I would have to call in from my job to watch live. Cotto is on his way out. Even though that fight would be good too and it would sell a lot on PPV but Gamboa and Broner are in their prime and is the better fight.

            I have to go with Cotto-Alvarez. Gamboa-Broner gives it serious competition though.

              I love both fights like everyone else. I like Gamboa and I don't like Broner. I really would like to see Gamboa KO him and I think he would but Broner can fight and punch and he might win. Canelo is my favorite young fighter. I am pretty sure he can beat Cotto and really get credit for a good win and be in a good position to get the Mayweather fight. Cotto and Canelo would slug it out and that's the fight I voted for.

                Cotto vs Alvarez ...it would be another great chapter in the Mexico Puerto Rico rivalry
                And its a guranteed war

                Broner Gamboa would probably be won on size

                  Broner-Gamboa.

                  I still think it's a pyhsical mismatch seing as Broner is a welterweight cutting to fight small guys while Gamboa is a 126lb fighter. Even then, Gamboa is that much better that I still think he wins it.

                    Don't wanna see Broner weight 145 against Gamboa. With Cotto it is hard to tell what he has left but it is a fight he can win.

                      Cotto vs Canelo by far, it is a more even fight. Gamboa has better skills than Broner so he will beat him easy, and Broner hasnt beat any worthy oponent yet
