    what are the chances we could see cotto vs. marquez, now that....

    cotto's back with top rank....

    i would prefer to see that, instead of pacquiao/marquez 5....

    and i don't think marquez would have to beat bradley for that fight to happen....

    Marquez will retire after the Bradley fight
    Cotto should be retired already, but his name still sells
    don't think this fight will come off, Cotto's too lazy for WW anymore
    can't see Marquez competing with anybody but Pac at WW either

      I hope it happens.

      Ever since they were sized up on Golpe a Golpe, I've envisioned a fight between them too.

      Similarly sized; near the end, but both still good; PR v Mex; skills/tech/power

      I like this fight too much for it not to happen. I think Cotto liked his TR options and went that way instead of another Al Haymon production. He can fight JMM, Martinez, Bradley and maybe even Pac. He can fight Rios, Alvarado. All pretty entertaining fights, especially the former three. I think for Cotto, those are better options than GBP right now. He can fight Canelo, but he's too big, too strong and much younger, and I doubt Floyd II happens. Not much there for him.

      Cotto/JMM @ 152 is a solid fight for both guys. I hope it happens next

        I don't think it will happen because Cotto won't fight below 154 and Marquez will not agree to fight at that weight.

          it would be a huge pay day for two guys in the twilight of their careers....

          i think they could negotiate on weight. 150ish, marquez has had no problem making 147 so moving up a few pounds for a last huge payday, i dont see why not.

                I suspect it will have to happen at a catchweight somewhere in the 150's and I don't see that working well for Marquez. It will be a moot point however cause Bradley won't allow it.

                  Lol at the 152 catch weight. If it where ever to happen the best place would be at 150. Marquez is no dam welter weight let alone jr middle weight

                    I agree 150 is fair for both guys. This fight would do huge numbers on PPV
