Rumors: Cotto vs Keith Thurman or Danny Garcia

[Larry the boss]

That's dumb on rios part. Should have taken the cotto fight.

He has literally 0 chance to go past 3 rounds with Cotto

[b00g13man]

I'd prefer the 147 titlists fought each other. I'm not mad at the thought of Cotto/Thurman though.

[Hougigo]

Nah, Rios/Cotto

[-DSG-]

Both would be dumb fights I don't want anything messing up a Garcia-Thurman fight for next year.

i think rios would do better than that. he's not gonna win but wont go past 3 rounds? come on now. cotto is not that type of fighter at this point. and plus who can rios fight now with a name like cotto? this would have been a good opportunity and a good way to get a nice check. plus its not like rios is a top contender at this point. he's pretty much done. might as well get the most that you can.

How will this mess with that fight , Cotto vs both guys will be at 150- 154 , both guys will still be champion at 147 even after losing to Cotto

[jose.sooto]

Cotto/Thurman is a close fight. Yes Cotto is shopworn but his veteran ways could prove to be too much for the young One Time, at the same time Keith's power and speed could be too much to handle for the old Miguel.

Cotto/Garcia is an easy W on paper for Miguel but this is boxing, anyone has a chance...can Garcia's left hook hurt Cotto?

It makes sense to stage either fights in Orlando, Miguel's & Danny's ****sexual tendencies would make a great drama storyline about the infamous clu shootong and stuff.

Thurman has a mandatory anyway and Danny isn't moving up to fight cotto.

[Dodger07]

both great fights! would not mind either one

[FLY TY]

cotto might be damage good but skill set, cotto is levels above thurman and any one that thurman has fought so far. this will be the biggest difference. just look at how thurman performs once he steps up in competition. his ko ratio drops dramatically.

I agree, and hence, the fight won't happen...even though it'd be huge, with thurman being from clearwater, and the large Puerto Rican population in orlando.

But thurman barely beat shawn porter, for goodness sakes...he definitely isn't stopping cotto, and i favor cotto in a 12 round fight. Thurmans good but lets not make him more than he is.
