Very interesting comments. Completely agree with you, specially the bold Red.I'm not sure if there is an underlined current of hate for Miguel or what but I don't see a problem with him getting a shot at either Floyd, Canelo, or GGG. Here's how I see it.... Under Roach's guidance it appears that Cotto isn't reinvented just that he is back to what made him such an offensive force when he first jumped in to the championship rankings. I also believe that he has gotten a lot of his confidence back and that alone can some times make the difference between what appears to be a faded champ and a rejuvenated one.
If Floyd and Cotto step in the ring a second time for Cotto's MW title then I have no problem with a rematch. The fight remains relevant as long as Cotto holds the Lineal title. Facts are Facts, if Mayweather wants to further cement his legacy and if Cotto is such an easy win then Floyd should jump at the chance just like Cotto did against Martinez.
A gold miner digs for gold, a boxer fights for championship belts its an easy decision for him and a easy boost to his legacy so I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd jumped at the chance.
This was the version of Cotto we were all dying to see Floyd fight over 5 years ago. It made for an interesting go round the first time. I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd vs. Cotto 2. It wasn't a massacre in the first fight, and Cotto actually did ok. With the few changes I would like to see if Cotto could make it more competitive.
Its not the worst fight that could be made for these two pugilistic Champions, Floyd's had some wars against some not so great opposition so I'm sorry if it makes a Cotto vs. May 2 appear to be lucrative for both fighters.Comment

It's funny that all these cotto haters hate to mention that Sergio's knee was ok until he took three left hooks to the head, and even after that Sergio danced around the ring all night,, now yuri Forman had a bad knee but Sergio was good,, if you get hit in the head by a hard puncher and your knees buckle its not because you have bad knees moronsBut....but....but his knees were bad!!!

Knees were bad, but he CAN SPRINT from one end of the ring to the other in a dash on which he showed that his knees were good to go!
No problem with the knees.

Cotto looked good with the Cuban for the Margarito fight, and then gave Floyd a tough fight, but he looks FANTASTIC with Roach who said it best himself, Cotto has been training himself since his uncle left, even with Steward training him. If you can't see a difference in Cotto's mentality then there is something very wrong with you. It isn't a new Cotto at all in reality, he just looks like the guy he did until the Margarito fight. Pretty much full of himself and really all fighters are meant to be that way, they should feel unstoppable and I think for the first time since the Margarito loss Cotto feels that way again.
Cotto doesn't have any noticeable improvements in speed, a bit in power but he didn't look blazing fast in there. He had great timing as usual, but again ignoring the new/old school is nothing more than being delusional he has improved under Roach. Boxing is as much mental as it is physical, Cotto's biggest issue has been his mentallity after the Margarito fight and Roach is the first one to truly address that IMO.Last edited by Beater_of_ass; 06-26-2014, 10:08 AM.Comment
