Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: Miguel's Next Fight at Comfortable Weight

[bopbopbbe]

If I were Cotto, I'd get the biggest name I could to move up to 154-155. Tim Bradley, Marquez, etc...

If I can't get a comfortable opponent at the weight then I'd just wait for Canelo at 155 and pick up a monster pay day...no sense in fighting a stay-busy fight against a Clottey-Trout type who Cotto will dominate and get no credit for...

Yeah because Cotto totally dominated Clottey and Trout the first time.

Cotto just needs to forget about 160 and focus on 154.

That would be horrible for him... also if it happens, it can't happen in the U.S... so count Molina out
Cotto already has Rios and Marquez calling him out....watch it be Rios. Doubt it though since it'd be on regular HBO and he's the MOney is right guy

I didn't think about Molina not being able to fight in the US. Bradley is the only guy I can see him fighting other than Molina. Rios is a waste of time and he will not go to 150 to fight Marquez. GG is never going to happen. Cotto doesn't really want to fight Middleweights, nor should he have to.

Positioning So To Never Fight Gennady

First they talked of how GGG isn't a good money fight. Now it's "we'll fight at a weight Cotto is comfortable at". Which means they'll claim they aren't going anywhere near 160, they know Gennady will not drain himself to go down where he is naturally 160, and Cotto can hang with his Middleweight belt at 154.

That's fine. Cotton can't beat Canelo, and after that fight happens, Canelo will man up to Gennady for an epic war.

"Nor should he have to"???? Of course he should. He chose to fight a washed up 40 year old Sergio to claim the belt. Either drop it in the trash can or defend against Middleweights. That's just lame to think he doesn't have to fight Middleweights. Marquez is not an option either... He can't juice up enough to fight close to 154 and Cotto is not coming down. Rios doesn't deserve a shot; he's never beaten anyone credible. No way Cotto will ever fight Gennady, the best Middleweight in the world. But Tim Bradley is interested in fight Cotto, so don't be surprised if that doesn't happen in the Spring.

Aka...

......chicken. AKA....running from GGG....AKA if not at 160 strip him of title. AKA...Manny would still pound the plantains out of him. AKA...not MW champ. And so on.

Dominate Trout?? How so. He didn't before. Clottey would out last him. He's done as a dominant player at any weight.

It's called drop the belt drop down and fight for SW, JMW. ANd still gets crushed by Canelo.

[Divine Hammer]

i think cotto was really pushing it at 160lbs. he's already considered a small jr middleweight.

Cotto vs Trout would have been good in December. Cotto would have avenged his loss to Trout by knocking him out. Canelo cracked Trout's chin, since then Lara dropped him and Dawson dropped him like 3 times.

KO Trout??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT be fooled by Cotto muggng a paraplegic. Trout Dominated him. WTF are you talking about? KO Trout? How. By these new skills he has developed? Come on dude.

I was being sarcastic. Cotto isn't beating anybody legit these days. Its clear hes just gonna cash out with Canelo, the guy wouldn't even risk fighting andy lee at 154.
