What does a win over Trout do for cotto

It does nothing... it's a stay busy / tune up fight that fleeces Cotto fan base

I think it is a decent win against a young fighter but ultimately I beleive it is just a tune-up for a big fight with alvarez in May. If he wins I put it above Foreman, mayorga, jennings, below mosley and margarito maybe equal to a clottey win at best.

I think it makes him the frontrunner for the next floyd fight.

cotto wins another title-ish at 154 (WBA sucks), on the other hand, trout has tons more to gain, cotto's ppv spot and a significant jump on trout's future pay checks

Solid win over a top 10 Super Welterweight and sets up a unification bout with Alvarez in 2013 or a rematch with Floyd.

Sets up a title unification fight against the other champs.

Cotto should grab the IBF belt while he's at it, it would make the Canelo fight that much bigger with 3 belts on the line.

It gets him a belt and leverage at the negotiation table against Canelo.

Canelo vs Cotto would look nothing like that.

you act like Cotto wouldn't have done the same to little Lopez
