Who would you choose as Cotto's opponent for his 147 debut?

[neils7147933]

Against who? My take

Floyds getting the WBC from Baldomir.

Cintron vs Suarez for IBF

Quintana vs Urkal for WBA

Margarito fighting a two year old mandatory, on undercard of Cotto

leaving out Cotto, Collazo, Judah, Williams, Joel Julio, and Hopkins. Ohhh, I hope he fights Hopkins cusin or whatever

I hope he fights Jose Castillo, or Hopkins. Belt wise if any the IBF or Mags belt, freeing Collazo for the other than he can try unificating with Mayweather. Hopefully its true that Margarito wants Rivera, so he can move up and vacate his belt.

No opponent yet; but he sent out a bulletin on his ******* that he was on the undercard of Valuev/Barrett in NYC Oct 7

yah Sharmba Mitchell would be decent stepping stone for Cotto.

I remember that fight was supposed to hapen sometime ago @140,mitchell was made a substantial offer but he decided it was best for him to move up to 147.

maybe this could be tszyu's comeback fight?

[GreatestIam]

I think its time for D_Hop to get his shot at a belt and i think Cotto V Hopkins would be a good fight pinning and KO guy V a Boxer i hope this one happens! D_hop is 140 however

[PRboxingfan]

Maybe he can fight one of the following:

1. Thomas Damgaard
2. Walter Matthysse
3. David Estrada
4. Chris Smith
5. Cosme Rivera
6. Oscar Diaz
7. Delvin Rodriguez
8. Arturo Gatti
9. Dimitryi Salita

That's a pretty long list, but they're all probable opponents and they're all at least descent fighters.

[PATO 1]

hes fighting at catchweight not 147

[2OSouzaSuarez12]

Why is everyine saying Hopkins? Hopkins fights at 140 not 147

[AllEyesOpen]

Out of all the major players at WW, I'd like see him fight Hatton. I think it would be a great match up & a possible FOTY, for both it would be a great addition to their legacy to say Cotto beat an undefeated Hatton, or Hatton beat an undefeated young champ on his way to the top.

[Left2body]

I think Quintana, Joel Julio, Margarito, Zab are all very very dangerous and extremely risky for someones first fight at a new weight.

I would prefer to see him fight Collazo, Urkal, Estrada or Demetrius at his first fight at 147lbs. I thought Baldomir would've been an excellent stylistic matchup for Cotto too but it looks like PBF got him. I would even say Hatton at 147lbs at this point in Cotto's career would also be good due to them both being recent jrWW's.

[Del Coqui]

I'd like to see him against Williams in a good tough battle.
