Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Passed on 12/13 Return, Back in 2015

He'll fight in February, I won't be surprised if he ends up fighting the winner of Sam Soliman/Jermain Taylor. He's going to position himself so he can fight Canelo on Puerto Rico Independence Day at Madison Square Garden. I highly doubt he fights Canelo on Cinco de Mayo at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

It wouldn't make sense to even try to go against Floyd Mayweather on that date anyways. The first Saturday of June works out perfectly for Cotto vs. Canelo and people will have the disposable income for that fight. It should do over 500k PPV buys.

You are an idiot. Your rambling doesn't make sense and who would floyd fight thats bigger than cotto-canelo?

Cotto's comeback ever since losing to Trout has been about picking the right fights (Delvin Rodriguez and injured Sergio Martinez). For December there are no safe ppv opponents that he could get away with. Supposed MW champ and he's got names like Tim Bradely, Juan Marquez, and Brandon Rios floating around.

Cotto hasnt mentioned any names. Arum brought up bradley, rios is the one that said cottos name and jmm was brought up by his fans.

"Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Cotto's promoter, told ESPN.com that Cotto would fight in either February or March on pay-per-view. As for a venue, duBoef said the No. 1 choice is Madison Square Garden, so he will need to talk to Garden executives about available dates."

That would imply that Canelo would not be next AND he will not fight Canelo in May. I don't even see Cotto fighting in June if that's true.

Hhhmmmm mayweather-cotto 2??? Probably not.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto takes a fight in January before his May fight with Canelo

[FiercePierce]

Good...GGG will be available in January, February...

[Beater_of_ass]

He said early next year, early is not May and who is to say he even fights on Cinco de Mayo if Mayweather does end up fighting Floyd? Maybe they make the fight the weekend of the PR parade in June in NYC. If Cotto were to fight in Jan. or Feb. there's plenty of rest for a June fight.

Who does Cotto fight? Bradley, IBF MW Champ, ?????

^ a jan-feb fight would give Cotto plenty of rest provided Cotto picks the right opponent. the Soliman-Taylor winner does make sense, plus it would be a unification, and maybe keep Cotto's WBC belt around for that clash with Canelo in May-June

"Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Cotto's promoter, told ESPN.com that Cotto would fight in either February or March on pay-per-view. As for a venue, duBoef said the No. 1 choice is Madison Square Garden, so he will need to talk to Garden executives about available dates."

That would imply that Canelo would not be next AND he will not fight Canelo in May. I don't even see Cotto fighting in June if that's true.

a March PPV fight with Canelo does seem unlikely, it looks like they'll go for someone over matched.

**why don't you think Cotto will fight in June? I'd figure Cotto will use the first fight to line up a bigger opponent for May or June, why not?

Good...GGG will be available in January, February...

true, but that doesn't mean Cotto will fight him. GGG's best bet is if he could appear on Cotto's co-feature.

Nobody can seem to answer this, so I'll ask yet again.

Why do people keep saying Cotto/Mayweather II is going to happen, when Cotto is contracted with Arum? Is Mayweather suddenly going to deal with Arum after he kept going on and on about not fighting Pac because of Arum.

If Mayweather fights Cotto with Arum being involed, Mayweather will cement his legacy as the biggest duck in the history of boxing.

Smart move by Cotto.

A guy like Lee didn't seem to pose too huge a threat, but neither did Austin Trout.
