What Should Cotto Do?

[Russian Crushin]

From his stand point i would fight Sergio, get my ass kicked and then say "whoops MW was too much for me" and go back down to 154 and have Canelo kick my butt.

He should fight Sergio. Canelo hasn't done enough to get a fight with Cotto, although I believe both are very good fights. He has a chance to make history against Maravilla, and is looking at a good pay day as well. I personally think Cotto will beat Sergio. I think he is going to make it an ugly fight, especially in the pocket. And given Sergio's health issues now, I think Cotto can pull it off.

If it was a couple years ago, I think Sergio would destroy Cotto. Just my thoughts.

This whole situation is a mess. People are now saying the GBP offer was fake (still haven't seen a source on that) so Martinez is the likely option. Then there's the Rubio issue that could even alter those plans.

What are the odds of cotto taking martinez belt and defending against golovkin?

[Bushbaby]

Take the golden boy deal. He has some chance of winning. Martinez ends his career.

Didn't even think about this. Golovkin via murder

Take the Martinez fight first , win or lose he still get a big check from Golden Boy because they need people for Canelo.

A Mayweather-Cotto rematch would be a ton more sellable with the lineal middleweight title on the line.

This. Or Canelo/Cotto for the MW title and then Floyd fights the winner.

Two blown up welters fighting for it after favorable circumstances would feel like a joke though.
