    Who should Cotto fight if he beats Trout?

    Since people are talking as if Trout is a sure thing to beat Cotto and asking who he should fight after Cotto, I want to ask who should Cotto fight if he beats Trout?

      Canelo on Cinco De Mayo, but Mayweather will get the fight first. Kirkland, Angulo (if he looks good in his comeback fights), or Lara would be very good first defenses.

          I'd love to see Cotto-Canelo. That really is 'the' fight that needs to be made at 154 right now

              He should wait it out and let Lara (after he beats Vanes) and Canelo (after he beats Lopez) fight each other. The winner than deserves a shot at him.

              If he wins.

                  Canelo or Lara. Don't want to see him fight Pac or Mayweather again, he'll lose every time (in my opinion)

                          Canelo
                          Kirkland
                          Angulo
                          Lara
                          Whoever he can make the most money to fight, any of those fighters would make a good fight. I think he beats Kirkland or Angulo (but wouldn't be surprised if he lost), Canelo and Lara could go either way, Cotto's experience would make the fights close, Canelo is strong and big for 154, where Cotto is small for 154.

                              Cotto could fight anyone at 154 right now. I say Alvarez, Lara or Martinez. If Martinez doesn't fight Alvarez or Mayweather. Course this could be a stretch.

                                  Canleo hasn't earned a shot at him. Lara deserves the shot. But Canelo wants it because of his name.

                                  Lara gets a big fight vs Canelo and the winner gets a big fight vs Cotto.

                                  Cotto also fighting a top guy. So know one is skating in this scenario.
