Thread: Cotto likely to fight Lee next

Interesting fight for me. Cotto will be fav but if at 160 I give Lee a good chance. Lee hasnt looked the best lately but at 6'2 he has a huge height and reach advantage. Hes also a decent puncher as his latest KO shows, has a strong chin, both losses he was stopped on his feet and not dropped in, and was ahead on all cards at time of stoppage in both his losses. How do people see this going?

terrible fight for cotto. lee isnt very good. its a lose-lose fight for him here. cotto will be expected to win and win big. at this point in cottos career, he shouldnt be wasting fights like this. he should just fight ggg.

The fight will do BANK in New York...a Boricua vs and Irishman? There won't be an empty seat in the house!


I think this will be a rather close fight. Andy Lee has never fought this caliber of opponent and he's lost before but if he was to keep Cotto on the end of his jab it would make it difficult for Miguel to do what he does. I think the pressure breaks Lee around round 6.

Lee was losing his last fight until that Hail Mary punch.

He is pretty good and quite tall.

He is also a real middleweight at least. We'd be pissed and think it a waste n joke if GGG fought Lee tho.

Of course this ain't the best fight Cotto could get but like Hulk said, this is against a real middleweight

Cotto takes on Lee, not sold on Andy one bit he will get a decent pay day, Cotto should get
the win in MSG New York, not the worst match up for Cotto out there is it.!

I think I feel the same way you do about Lee, he's OK but I just don't look forward to watching him fight.

Im the opposite (poss cz Im Irish) but lots of Lees fights are belters (particularly when he loses) Vera and Chavez were decent fights and that last fight with that KO from behind was a cracker. To be honest you would have to say Cotto is the worst MW champion at the moment. GGG is a beast, Quillin looks next, Solimon beat Sturm twice in Germany. If I was in the current middleweight division Cotto would be the guy Id be looking for. Prob best money and best chance of winning.

Was hoping they'd aim higher for Cotto but its a passable initial defense as far as network and money. Lee was smacked about badly and hurt last out until he pulled a brick out of his pocket for sudden ko win. Do us a solid and do not put this on a ppv.

Cotto is being lined up to fight Alvarez next Cinco so this is a keep busy fight. They could have picked an easier opponent. Lee could give him problems but probably Cotto stops him in the second half of the fight.

It's better than Gary Lockett, right? Lol
