CC...very good post and I agree that he should have gotten the rematch in Feb.

If anybody deserves it, it is him for showing such rare class and not letting them just take belt from him and fighting Paul while many others would have taken more money and more of a chance to open some doors by fighting Cotto.

Right now i think you are right on the money that is the fight that most of us would like to see, I like both guys and would hate to see either of them loose.

Cotto vs. Margarito for me. That would have fight of the decade written all over it ;D

I would like that fight too but would definitely want Cotto vs floyd first because I like the way speedy boxers bring out the best boxer in Cotto and it would put 2 undefeated guys who have a real chance at winning.

Cotto vs Margarito would likely be a brawl that would take a lot out of both guys and they would probably never be the same again. So I would prefer for both to finish their other orders of business first before they become damaged.

I feel Vasquez Marquez 3 may well be the best fight for a long long time...

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

Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao 2
Kelly Pavlik vs Joe Calzaghe
Juan Diaz vs Ricky Hatton
Joan Guzman vs Edwin Valero
Paul Williams vs Floyd Mayweather Jr

Kelly Joe would be a good entertaining fight.



I reckon Floyd has to fight either Williams or Maragrito first, he doesn't need to prove it to me or most knowledgable fans, it's just that I can see the threads now if Floyd beat Cotto, it'll be utter tosh like he's a blown up light-welter who hasn't been tested against the genuine gig guys of the division. If he beats either then that can be avoided, as well as build up the main event.

Took the fights right out of my head. CC! I could see the punchlines too. These fight would be too easy to sell!

Marquez vs Pacuquio: #2 and #3 pound-for-pound
Pavlik vs Calzaghe: Undefeated vs Undefeated
Diaz vs Hatton: "Swarming with activity" vs "swarming with pressure"
Guzman vs Valero: "Stop bitching about being ducked and beat more people" vs "stop bitching about now being able to fight in america" (I do feel like this fight will only be big in the boxing community. Outside those people, no one will know who they are)
Williams vs Mayweather: phenom vs genuis

Another thing...Margarito vs Floyd?! Cmon! Williams took care of Margarito handily. Floyd would do the same.

***Correction my last post said "stop bitching about now being able to fight in america" i meant "stop bitching about NOT being able to fight in america

:coolclick: back

I'm not so sure that Cotto is ready yet. There's a case to be made that he lost to Mosley. I felt he won or it was a draw, but not everyone saw it that way. What would Miguel do so damn differnt from all the others? Yeah, he is bigger, and has more power than Hatton, but guess what? He's not as fast. He can't close the distance like Hatton can. He does have a better jab than Hatton though.

I'm not sure I want to see anyone fight Mayweather any more

Is a bit like watching Schumacher racing, he's so good that there's no contest

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 S***! 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.

Whilst I'd love to see all of these fights none of them come even remotely close to Cotto Mayweather imo.

It's the flat out biggest, most essential matchup in boxing right now. I actually hope we don't see it in 2008 though. I really want Cotto to beat Williams, maybe Margarito, Oscar or Mosely again just to really solidfy his claim as the ultimate challenger to Floyd's crown.

Then let Floyd come out of retirement to fight him and finally we have a fight for the ages worthy or Duran Leonard, Hagler Hearns etc.

I agree with Donny. All fights take a back seat to Rafael Marquez-Israel Vazquez 3.

It's a no brainer

Cotto DelaHoya is a way way way better fight. Forget Mayweather he wan'ts to retire. Let him retire a nobody.
