Thread: Cotto - Jennings?

It looks like Michael Jennings might be Cotto's comeback opponent. So much for a Berto or a Cintron. Thoughts?

Jennings to get a shot at Cotto (From Lancashire Telegraph)

JENNINGS COULD FACE COTTO | Sporting Life - Boxing News | Joe Calzaghe, Roy Jones, Ricky Hatton, Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Amir Khan

If he doesn't, he's in trouble.

I seen this awhile ago, and all of that has been coming out of the UK, nothing has been mentioned by Arum, or Cotto's camp regarding this.

I think it just might be Jennings people trying to get a foot in the door.

I think Berto will be out, because Lou DaBully doesn't want it to be for the title.

From what Bob Arum has been saying it's down to Cintron, Clottey, and Jesus Soto Karass.

I'd love to see Cotto - Clottey, Clottey's one of my favorite fighters. I think Cotto would win a convincing UD though.

I thought Williams was defending against Jennings?

I sent Michael a message before regarding this. I'm waiting a response from him.

Williams is fighting Verno Phillips for the WBO Interim Light-Middleweight title. The IBF never sanctioned the fight.

I'm sorry.. but Clottey beats the breaks off of Cotto.
He is FAR too big. FAR too durable. Margi couldn't hurt him no way cotto does.
Also, if people think Margi was too big for Cotto.. then this is even worse.
Anyone remember clottey weighing 170 on fight night against Chico? LOL.
Clottey is naturally about 10-20lbs heaviar than Margi is.

I would have loved to see Cotto/Cintron. Still a very dangerous fight for cotto who many have regarded as having a suspect chin during his career. Cintron has the heaviest hands in the division. He is the Edison Miranda of Welterweight.. in the since that he is the most powerful and his only losses have been against the Champion of the division.

This is a good come back fight for cotto.

Thats pretty much a carbon copy of what I been saying all along, Clottey is a big tough mofo that isint going to get broken down by Cotto, when he cant break you down his plan B is to go backward, as we saw from SSM which he boxed beautifully and peppered Shane, since Shane was running into Cotto's punches a at that point ,against Margarito he got torn to pieces.. Clottey would beat him up..

Miguel Cotto could wear down Joshua Clottey late though with body shots, remember Joshua Clottey has suspect stamina JT. Where as fighters like Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, have always had excellent stamina. And always finish strong late in fights.

boxrec has the fight listed! but although jennings is slick, I cant see him hurting Cotto. He isnt no Margarito and I can see Cotto stop him early to mid rounds.

Think it was POB who did a thread sometime back...

In that thread I said Cotto needed to fight anyone of these guys;
Soto-Karass, Hlatswayo, Sasaki (really far fetched) or Lujan.

In that same thread I said more then anything Cotto needs a confidence booster. He needs to be faced with the perfect opponent that can last with him and he can get his confidence back with.

I don't think he needs a Berto fight as a comeback fight.

I agree another stoppage loss would be really difficult to comecack from

Michael Jennings ain't no pushover i've seen quite a few of his fights. And he moves well and he can sustain that movement for 12 rounds, his stamina has always been very good.

He has good boxing skills and he can take a punch well, he obviously ain't in Miguel Cotto's league. But don't expect an easy fight here folks, Michael Jennings is a quality fighter.
