What up Bori, I think I remember ya from the old Cotto fan forum.
It may have been another forum also.
But yeah dude, I agree with you. If we look at possible reasonable options right now. Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Antonio Margarito 3 or Lucas Matthysse.
Khan is coming off a long layoff and brutal KO loss, plus he's got a glass chin.
Kell Brook may be a good choice but he's coming off of 2 defeats where both of his eye sockets broke.
If Cotto beats these guys people will say Brook was done, Khan is a bum that got KO'd in his last fight, glass chin, etc...
Margarito, this would be the fight I would like. Cotto would annihilate and whoop Margarito's ass bad in a 3rd fight. Because Margarito is so way past it, he's done. But that will be people's excuse and realistically even though they have history together, most people will know Margarito is way past it. Would they pay for a 3rd fight on PPV? Margarito is 39 years old and completely done. Would people pay for that?
So this is where Lucas Matthysse comes in. On the Canelo-Chavez PPV card he performed the best on that card, better than Canelo, Lemieux, etc...
He has Joel Diaz now which would renew the trainer rivalry with Roach.
They can put this on at MSG, stack the undercard, maybe work with other promoters to feature fighters.
It definitely would be the best option for December 2nd.
Lol, sorry for the long post.
