Mayweather-Cotto II?

[AgainstTheRopes]

Cotto is with Top Rank. If they can make this fight they can make Pacquiao

Cotto is not with Top Rank...he is a free agent with his own promotional company

it's funny how floyd fans talk trash about pac rematching yet they're all over floyd rematches.

Can't really knock Floyd if he wants to go for the lineal mw title man

What's the ****ing point he won't fight Golovkin will he? Just another belt being held hostage.

[SkillspayBills]

Not happening. It's Floyd-Pac and nothing else. Floyd can fight for the 160 pound belt after beating Pac twice.

[Caught Square]

No, typical recycled fight. The first fight was good but Mayweather clearly won and they can go seperate ways.

I'd rather see new blood meaning Cotto vs Canelo, Golovkin and Mayweather vs Pac, Khan, Brook, Thurman etc.

[George Orwell]

arent people tired of seeing Cotto lose? he had his fun against a washed up Margarito and a crippled Sergio.

Supposedly this is being worked on behind the scenes while everyone is paying attention to the misdirection of a Pacquiao fight. Boxing insiders have been tweeting about it



I see why Floyd would do this:

1. Floyd can beat 'the man' @ middleweight
2. Hurts Golden Boy as it keeps the Cotto-Canelo fight from happening and upstaging his 'May-date'
3. Saves Floyd from the backlash of an Amir Khan match up which most fans seem to think should never happen


Aside from the political/strategic/business motives for the fight, is this a fight that you guys would want to see? And do you think it'd be any different now?

Marketable fight, Cotto seems more than willing to do good business ($15m + a share of the PPV upside is something I see Cotto working with), and you have the additional caveat of legacy being on the line (Cotto is Ring/WBC champion at middleweight; Cotto weighs in around 155, while Mayweather weighs in around 149).

Mayweather gets to run the show the way he wants, but more importantly he ****s Oscar De La Hoya (Saul Alvarez no longer has a worthy PPV fight) and Bob Arum (left to try and sell Pacquiao-Vargas as some epic style PPV-worthy showdown).

Mayweather-Cotto was a pretty good fight (Floyd won 9-3 imo, but there was ton of action). With the rematch, both fighters walk into the ring without any real worry over a weight cut, Cotto has a new trainer in his corner, and the styles seem to naturally mesh to make a good fight.

fine by me
