    If Cotto doesn't fight Canelo or GGG does it even matter who he fights?

    We know he's not getting Canelo in June and they seem to want no part of GGG that's for sure. Who even cares who he fights to be honest. Bradley, Rios,K9 lol what's the point after a huge win over Martinez for the lineal MW title. He blew it not fighting Canelo, everyone wanted to see that fight.

      Well, both those fights can still happen, the doors aren't closed.

      Just depends on what his plans are. Does he want to campaign at 160? 154? Obviously fans want to see quality fights. So yeah there are good fights out there, certainly better than Rios or some crap like that. We'll find out soon.

        Rios will destroy him, but since he going to rocnation and pretty much stabbed top rank in the back he wont be fighting any top rank fighters unless rocnation puts up some huge money.

          Rios is not injured, so he'll even duck him

          Cotto vs. P Williams is next. I'm calling it.

            I think it matters. When he won the lineal world middleweight championship everything he did and does after that matters. Is he a fighting champion who gives the best middleweights a chance to win his title? Is he a cherry picker who fights smaller fighters like Bradley or Rios both of who have little chance to beat him and never fought above 147 before? Is he a world champion who fights less than once a year? So far as a world champion I would give Cotto an F grade and the middleweight division would benefit from him giving up his 160 pound title. Then Cotto could fight someone he knows he can easily beat once every other year and it really wouldn't matter.

              Agree. As long as Cotto gives up his title, it doesn't matter who he fights.
