Thread: Could There Be Be Any Better Fight Made In The Sport Than...........

Cotto vs Mayweather?

C'mon, you gotta admit that even looking at the title gets you excited.

It's a no brainer

It's the biggest fight out there in all of boxing right now.

I would like to see this late in 2008 finish off the year with a bang.
I would like to see Cotto unify first against Cintron or Williams.

Cotto/Mayweather is undoubtedly the most important fight that could be
made, let's let it simmer a bit first though.

Generally yes, Cotto vs. PBF is by far the biggest fight that can be made. But there are other fights that IMO to the hardcore fans would be as big as Cotto-PBF. In no particular order:

Calderon vs. Solis - Mouth watering fight both very skilled fighters.
Guzman vs. Pac - The waters heating up and it WILL boil.
De Leon vs. Caballero II - This shit! is looong over due.
'Baby Bull' vs. Hatton - I made a thread on this a while back and the response was great.
Pavlik vs. Abraham - Come on you know you wanna see it.
Kessler vs. Froch - Nothing would please me more in 2008 then to see this one come off.





Other fights that I would be very interested in seeing:
Arce vs. Mabuza - No one agress with me but something tells me this fight would be fucken great.
Kiko vs. Baustista - 2 young prospects with power.
Linares vs. Luevano - 2 young guys both newly crowned World Champs.
Enzo vs. Haye - I hope it comes...

Again not on par with Cotto-PBF BUT very close IMO.

Diaz/Hatton would be a classic CMM, and I hope it happens sometime soon. Pavlik/Abraham would be great, but so would Pavlik/Andrade-Kessler. And the one I want most to happen next year is Cotto/Margarito

Why blow the load right away? I am saying from a business perspective, Cotto
could be the number 1 welterweight if he is unified instead of having 25% claim.
Let the tension build and the dollars will be higher. The dust is still settling
on Cotto beating Mosley and Mayweather beating Hatton.

Wow! Mick... Guzman v Pacquiao.

Nice

Id love to see that. Two very different but free swinging tough nuts. It has FOTY written all over it!

If that's the case, floyd should unify the other belt and have a winner take all. That would bring the most money.

I'd be game for that. Undoubted unified 147 title and p4p title on the line, couldn't make it much bigger than that.

Cotto vs. Margarito would be great.....
Shit!
I hate it when fights between two of my favorite fighters come off.
Some of examples of my fav. fighters facing each other and who I sided with:
ODLH vs. Paez-I took Paez on this one my childhood fav vs. my new fav
Collins vs. Eubank-I took Collins in this one but it sucked to see Eubank
Andrade vs. Kessler-I took Kess on this one... But Andrade was valliant
Sylvester vs. Amin-I took Amin since I had followed him closer

I want to see Margarito fight any one of the top contenders. I think that loss to Williams really energized him and made him realize you can't fart around for 8 rounds and still win fights. I'm surprised he wasn't considered to replace Cintron against Williams in February.

Frankly not onlly is that the best fight out there

But its the smartest fight for perhaps the two biggest names in the sport right now..

I mean face this.. Cotto is promoted great, he usually fights three times a year and The Bobfather does an amazing job of getting only the best, biggest fights for miguel

And Floyd is undoubtedly P4P king, Hes had a hell of a year this year, he says he wants a vacation , and he will take it.. So come the latter months into 2008 miguel cotto might have fought upto two fights..

I would bet money that one of those fights will be margarito, who i previously treat as a huge threat to miguel..

At this point in time, Miguel haven shown his boxing skill and seemingly newly aquired whiskers against shane mosely its still a good name on the record, a hard fight but im more confident of a cotto win.. perhaps he fights another fight probably a unification with cintron or williams..


Cotto frankly has all the tools to unify the three belts..

And Mayweather is on his break, but also needs to put that last spin on his legacy, Manny steward and the rest still say hes not fighting the legit welter champs...

So what better a scenario but for a unification to force floyd to face cotto after cotto having proved he may even be a bigger star then floyd..

The talk would be all cotto and floyd would get his jealous on.. No doubt, then he would want cotto and the money he brings with him

I hear ya'. Hatton/Mayweather was tough for me as I am a big fan of both, but I knew who would win so it ook the sting out of it a bit. I like Cotto, but Tony is one of my top 5 favorites, and I'd root for him to win, and think he would. A tough one for me to watch was Lewis/Golota But Lewis is my fvorite all time, so oh well .........
