Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Officially Passes on Marquez Over Weight Dispute

JMM knows he passed on a big payday and ass whooping but I think we will see Kirkland in the ring against Cotto

Marquez has only 1 fight he can make that is worth watching, and it's a 5th fight with Manny Pacquiao.

I was skeptical of Cotto vs. Marquez, both guys have a certain expectation and attitude. I couldn't see them getting through negotiations for a fight that nobody even really cared about from the start.

If Cotto can still make it down to 147 (or close to it) there are some young fighters down there he could do big business with.

Marquez is pretty much done with major fights though unless he calls Manny.

Maidana\Bradley vs Cotto at 154

Maidana would die trying to make 154 in 2016. Would love Bradley vs. Cotto.

I'm a fan of both guys; and as much as i hate all the 'A side' talk..only one guy was going to be calling the shots in this fight.

Margarito-Angulo.

Winner gets Cotto.

Cotto gets to beat a shopworn Mexican name fighter to retire on, which has been his goal since the Canelo fight.

Make it happen damn it.

I was hoping this fight would happen. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if both of these guys would get beat down whomever they fight next, and be forced to retire for real.

They both need 2 b retired especially JMM between age and injuries he needs 2 take that last goodbye fight in MX just hang them up ...Cotto can just go away...

Darn! I was hopping for this fight.

May be Thurman will steep up? or Danny G!

[Disturbed]

Disappointing to me

Nobody wanted to see this right now anyway.

They should have fought after Marquez destroyed Alvarado.

I dont know man, I wanted to see the fight

It would be years late, thats for sure. But I like watching both in the ring, they have had some great fights in their career. I think their styles would make it an exciting fight for sure, even now when they are not in their primes anymore. Sure, it would have been amazing years ago, but still I would like to see it today.

Marquez looked pretty good in his last fight if I remember right. But that was +2 years ago already or so

oh dear miguel, looks like a duck to me. We all know you can make 147 miguel, get your fat arse on the treadmill and put on a ricky hatton sauna suit.
