      Interesting match up but I don't see it happening. Too risky of a match up for Cotto. He already didnt look good against a slick southpaw in Trout, and Lara is that but better. Cotto would be better off fighting GGG, theres more money in that fight.

        After this, win or lose, cotto has 1 or 2 fights left. Maybe RN allows it on a NBC or FOX to mend some fences for Ward and Rigo. Lara looks good next weds and i dont mind. Whether Cotto wins or loses honestly. Good fight.

          id like to see this fight, but i dont see cotto taking a high risk low reward at this point on his career, he doesnt need that title anyways...

            Cotto is more likely to fight Golovkin than Lara.

                There's absolutely no reason for Cotto to take that fight. I can't imagine it would be the largest financial offer he'd have after this fight, win or lose. He'd also probably lose and even if he won, it would be a damn difficult fight.

                And I'm SURE that if he asks nicely enough, the WBA will just give him a title at 154 or 160.

                    Cotto better not go back to middleweight after this fight. He'll look like a straight up idiot if he does
