Thread: Cotto..just retire.

No one wants to see you fight an old Marquez..get a decent opponent or fight the winner of Brook vs Spence.

he cant hear you

I think Bradley would be his best option.

If Cotto wants to fight on then let him Imp.

If he can earn a living and make some big fights do not deny him his right.

If he can get up in the morning and put his body through a training camp then why not let him fight someone at his level?

Who would not want to see him fight Bradley, Manny Pac again and Thurman? He is still a name but not on ppv please.

Bradley has tasted the Pac paydays and perhaps cotto would be another nice payday for him.

Cotto has still got it

the canelo and mayweather fights weren't all that one sided, he has a case for a close fight in both, particularly against canelo

I think if he's matched competitively (and not on PPV against a Kirkland type opponent) then he deserves to continue. He has said that he want to retire at the end of the year after 2 more fights.

He still owes a Roc Nation a fight to finish out his contract. Seeing as he was guaranteed 15mil per fight on the 3 fight deal by Roc Nation, they probably want something that's going to sell which is why kirkland was mysteriously injured (broken nose) and never rescheduled when the fight wasn't selling because the fans knew kirkland was a shell.

Yeah damn that Cotto.

The nerve... trying to maximize the financial gain he can get from a brutal sport, to which he's devoted his blood and sweat for years. Why can't he follow the example of every other fighter out there, who fight not for the money, but only for the fun of it. As their careers near an end, they say "fuck it", and willingly leave millions on the table.

He's welcome to do that and people are welcome not to buy.

Just like with any other fighter.

I'd like to see him call it a day rather than just pick low hanging fruit or set ups.

Maybe I'm stuck on it but why no rematch with a Trout by this point? Promotion? 154 is a shark tank but it at least makes sense

For sure. If he wants to make the money that Roc Nation has guaranteed him he needs to fight someone credible. I personally think he's hanging on in the hope that he can get a Canelo rematch.

Whatever he decides to do, I won't begrudge him. I've seen a hell of a lot worse career enders.
Let's just say he's earned his paychecks throughout the years.

He has earned his paychecks and thus made a lot of money from the sport, but that doesn't justify trying to fleece fans just because his heart is no longer in it and he wants to coast on the way out. If that's his attitude then show the fans some respect and retire already.
