cotto @ 147..who should he fight first?

[dino]

i dont think gatti will beat baldomir to be honest with u..i hope he does though..id rather see margarito vs cotto or cotto vs judah

[TheGreat1]

i think santos would be a good fight for him.

No way Santos makes 147

[ROSEWOOD]

should cotto jump right in the mix of things and fight judah margarito cintron williams or should he fight another bum to feel out the weight?

I'll want Zab to beat the crap out of him...Yea...that sounds pretty good to me...Zab is my vote...or Hell let him kill Marg..that punk needs to be shut up anyway....

Cotto will beat Margarito, but not Zab.

I say take an easy fight at 147, against a contender, see how he feels there, and then he can fight the champions.

Tough call, it would be a bit daunting for him to have his first fight at a new weight class also be his first fight versus an Elite fighter.

BTW I do consider Zab an Elite fighter because he has shown that when prepared he does have the Talent to be competitive versus anyone.

However I think Zab is all wrong, stylisticly for Cotto. It would be much harder for Cotto to cut of the ring on a guy that has some pop than it was on a guy like Paulie who didn't. I would much prefer him fighting Margarito or Hatton. Especially Hatton due to the fact that he has just recently risen from JrWelterweight himself.

I would say winner of Gatti vs Baldomir, Hatton, Castillo (at 147), or Margarito.

I agree, once Cotto gets hit with a left uppercut or straight left from Zab, he'll have a good reason not to swarm him. Paulie had nothing to keep Cotto outside in terms of power.

Cotto's chin will improve at 147, that's for sure.

No, thats not for sure.

I agree. Zab is a bad matchup for a swarmer like Hatton or Cotto.

[borikua]

I want to see him against the winner of Gatti-Baldomir (he get's a belt) and then Hatton...
