Comments Thread For: Lemieux Admits He Passed on Saunders, Has Eyes Set on Cotto

I'm almost sure Oscar told Lemieux to pass on Saunders and told him he's going to plan on making a Cotto-Lemieux fight.
I wonder if Oscar has it planned for Lemieux to enter the ring after the Cotto-Kamegai fight is done for Lemieux to challenge Cotto to a fight.
Thing is Cotto won't fight him at 160. The highest Cotto has weighed for a fight is 155 when he fought Martinez. Cotto is going to demand a catchweight, the highest Cotto might do is 157 with a certain amount of cash. But Oscar and Lemieux can forget about Cotto fighting at 160.

And I know David struggles already to get to 160. But Cotto will not fight Lemieux at 160.

I wonder if Goldenboy are lining him up for a Canelo defence. Awfully odd they'd pass up a title shot against the weakest title holder, for a Cotto fight that will never happen.

Lemeiux made a mistake. From a financial perspective he probably makes the same in both fights, and from a boxing perspective he matches up well with both.
However I can't see Miguel Cotto agreeing to move up to a full Middleweight shot especially fighting for a Junior Middleweight Championship fight.
Lemeiux made a mistake in my opinion.
