      Good shout, i think people either side of the atlantic would be surprised with the respond to that fight, with the numbers of fans that cotto has here also.

        Yeah exactly. Stick AJ on the undercard and it would be also be PPV in the UK for sure.

        The UK fans would get behind it too I'd imagine,

          Even then, it's one of those fights where Cotto can finally walk the slightly smaller man down. I'd actually pick Cotto to stop him.

            I think Brook is actually bigger than Cotto if I'm honest. People don't realize how huge he is.

              Brook needs to gun for Garcia, Thurman/Porter winner

              Cotto is a diva, Brook would have to give up way too much **** to make that fight happen

                Believe me I do, I've even questioned how long he'll be able to make the weight but Cotto is a very solid '54 in my opinion, may not be tall or have a good enough reach at the weight but he's solid.

                  I think its BULL*****. How about Brook fight either Danny, the porter/Thurman winner or the Bradley/Manny winner in a WW title fight. Or, if Khan isn't dead or in a coma, fight him in England. There are enough quality WW's available for high profile fights that Brook doesn't have to fight Cotto.

                  Brook isn't GGG who can't get any top tier opponents in his division to fight him.

                  it's time to stop having fights that do not advance a division. FFS every division other than HWT is standing still while champions will not fight any contenders in the division.

                    Don't disagree at all. But if a Cotto fight pops that would obviously take priority. The chance to fight a legend and a future hall of famer.

                      Yep, Canelo had to take an 80/20 split to get Cotto in the ring.

                      He'd offer Brook travel expenses and a sandwich.
