Comments Thread For: Cotto: Marquez Has To Get Things Done or Keep His Mouth Shut!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The meetings between former world champions and future Hall of Famers, Miguel Angel Cotto of Puerto Rico and Mexico's Juan Manuel 'Dinamita' Marquez, have always been very cordial. The latest of these came during a meeting between the two at an exclusive restaurant in Orlando, Florida where they discussed at the table the possibility of an interesting clash between the two of them before the end of 2017.

Looks who is talking about geting things done. Ironic.

Miguel Cotto will fight a guy 7 years older, bad knees, and has 3 year layoff at Miguel Cotto chosen weight-

Miguel Cotto

[The Time]

This fight is a possibility, a fight with Matthysse is also a possibility.

One of the belt holders at 154 as well.

So Cotto threw the first bark.....

Wished this fight would've happened years ago but I understand 1 guy was moving up while the other was always 2 division or 3 divisions away!

Other fights at welter that never happened!

Judah vs Mosley

Marquez vs Judah

Mosley vs Marquez

Cotto is right, Marquez has been talking for going on two years now

This fight is a possibility, a fight with Matthysse is also a possibility.

Oh ****!

Not sure if you meant against Cotto or Marquez, but either way my excitement for the return of either of them just shot from a 5 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10. Marquez vs Matthysse is obviously the awesome fight, that makes sense stylistically and where they are in their careers on so many levels, but even Matthysse against Cotto would be a cool fight. Cotto probably too big which is why Marquez-Matthysse would be better, but still either of those guys against Matthysse would be a great action fight.

How about a four man tournament on HBO between the HBO fighters Cotto, Bradley, Marquez, and Matthysse? Maybe Marquez-Matthysse and Cotto-Bradley, then winners fight? It's only a problem if Marquez and Bradley both win the first fight, but then again there have been worse rematches.

I think Bradley vs Matthysse is also a really cool fight. Bradley-Provodnikov part II? Matthysse even beat Provo. You could do Bradley vs Matthysse and Marquez vs Cotto, then winners fight. But really any tournament between those four would be fun and fit where they are all at in their careers, meaning none of them are really competing to be #1 in a division anymore. Maybe whoever wins the tournament would then have a great claim to fight the #1 welter over on Showtime or something. Bradley and Matthysse could both try that in the future, especially Bradley, but for now it doesn't seem like that's the direction...

Hell, with Manny and Floyd both basically retired, maybe Marquez could even go for it? If he's healthy. I doubt he could beat a Thurman or Spence or Brook, but none of those guys have elite speed so maybe he could counter them. Probably not big enough to KO them though so he probably has no chance, which is why this tournament would be best.
