    Cotto's next move

    Now that Cotto is on the way out he has one more fight with Rock nation... would it be crazy to say that Cotto's best move is to actually pursue a Golovkin fight. Its the biggest money fight for him, Golovkin would likely say yes especially if him and Canelo don't agree on weight.

    To me this fight makes sense financially for Cotto/Rock Nation and for Golovkin. It is a fight that i would definitely favor Golovkin, but it is a fight that quiet frankly i don't care if it happened because Cotto is small and no longer a champion at that weight which was the biggest reason why it should have happened in the first place, but financially its probably the biggest money fight for Cotto (unless he fights Mayweather, Paquio or Canelo rematch).

    Agree or Disagree?

    Disagree. Cotto has lost leverage losing to Canelo so he won't be able to claim as much at the negotiating table and he'll get his ass kicked.

    I don't think he wants to go out that way.

      Retirement. He's completely irrelevant at this point. End of thread/

        so what would be his next best move. Yes he lost leverage but with the Rock nation contract i am sure they will not agree for him to fight a nobody cause they still have to pay him. will it be a Lara fight? probably not cause he is on PBC but who knows.

          I'd have no problem with the Golovkin fight for Cotto. To me, that's a big money fight and it's a no-lose situation for Cotto. If he loses, everyone expects him to, he's near the end of his career and he goes out with a big payday and if he wins, at least amongst the more hardcore fans of the sport, he's regained everything he lost in the Canelo fight and probably even more.

          But I don't think that happens immediately. I think Cotto comes back and probably fights someone like David Lemieux or maybe even rematching Margarito or Clottey if he beats Rosado.

            Fight PAC again. Margarito would be nice! Risk vs Reward. This is how they will determine the next opponent!

              Canelo's size did affect Cotto. Triple G will run him over

                  A rematch for what? You're delusional if you think Cotto won more than two rounds. No one is wanting a rematch especially when it so one sided.
