Thread: Oscar offers Cotto 10 mil minimum for Alvarez fight

Seeing this in several reports on sites. Something many of us predicted prior to the Floyd fight. I may be in the minority but I'd like to see this fight.

I think it's a good fight at this juncture. Cotto looked great in his last fight and has the "new trainer" revival story going, and Alvarez is coming off the Floyd loss.

It's gaurenteed to be fireworks, so why not? Makes a lot more sense than it did the first time it was brought up.

Nah I'd be all for it as well if it happens next for each. Huge risk that neither men really need to take but that's hardly a reason to complain is it. I think Alvarez would stop Cotto at 154, but you never know how he'll respond coming off the Floyd loss wheras Cotto has seen it all at this point, it's a great crossroads fight.

I would love to see this fight. I think Cotto would be able to exploit Canelos weaknesses. Neither of these guys would back down in my eyes this would be a great matchup. It could certainly go either way but I would be leaning towards Cotto.

Before seeing cotto in his last fight I would've hands down said canelo got it. But now after seeing miguel in shape and looking like he wants to tear the head of his opponents I am all cotto baby!! Haha he's back!! I just hope he keeps training and then fights the best I can't wait to see him out there again. He is the type of fighter who really needs some one to push him to train I feel like no body has had him in this good of shape since his uncle.

No excuse not to make the fight for Cotto. The timing couldn't be better. Neither has anything set. The money is more than alright. Certainly more than he would get for fighting Sergio Martinez. The only reason for turning the fight down would be he just doesn't want it.

Could be right there, 10 mill is a huge payday and I doubt he'd get half that against anyone else unless a Mayweather rematch is seriously on the table. Other than that who does he fight, Molina, Quillin? Those guys could beat him to for nowhere near the reward.

10 million in stone is an obscene Christmas and a must take but this will shoot all of Cottos talk about 147 return to bits...lemme guess, catchweight and both are trinket less? I think Alvarez would be too strong for Cotto either way but money talks.

Same here. I don't see a downside to this fight. Hope it happens.

It means nothing aside from IF Cotto wins, a rematch with Floyd should be in Floyd's last four fights. If Alavrez wins, he avenges his name as the second best BEHIND Floyd.

Nothing to see here aside from curiousity.
