Could be one hell of a fight, and one hell of an upset. Personally i am very impressed with Quintana and I think he can box his way to a hard fought unanimous decision over his fellow countryman and possibly stop him. What do yall think?

Carlos Quintana very well could be the most under appreciated talent in the division right now.Quote:

I will never NEVER bet against Cotto...until he fights Castillo.
If Cotto would just get back to his "smart box" persona...I'd be a whole lot more secure with putting my eggs in one basket.
Im with Wacko if Cotto comes in boxing and using his jab, and most importantly keep his defence up, and not try to tear through Quintana, cotto can take this one, but he has to be smart. Im confident cotto will win, his left hook is preety effective against south paws.
Im going for a Cotto decision or Late Stoppage but has to use his talent to figure out Quintana in the first half of the fight. Will be a VERY tough fight for both men, cant wait.
If this ends up happening, have to give respect to Cotto, and Quintana, but especially Cotto cause it would be the first fight at 147. Much more dangerous fight than an old Oktay Urkal IMO.
I don't know who I'd pick, might go with Quintana cause I don't know how Cotto will be at 147. But considering how much he had to drain himself to make 140 he might be better for the move.
Here comes 'El Cucuy'! Cotto is gonna bust Quintana up and leave him stretched out under the boardwalk hall in Atlantic City.
Is this just a hypothetical match bro or is it really happening? Any how,I would not be happy if this was Cotto's first fight at 147 simply because he would be taking on one of the most dangerous fighters at 147 in Quintana and could very well lose. It would be a great fight and I can see Cotto being the agressor but I would like to see him box and let Quintana come to him too,maybe he is not as effective on the front foot?
Bad matchup for Cotto. But if it happens (*I don't think it will), I won't miss it!!!
*What kind of promoter is willing to guarantee a Cuban loss, because they are both fighting each other. Cuban fighters are too much of value. heh
Nope its already scheduled to happen.Quote:

Here comes Quintanas first defeat. Maybe even gets knocked the puck out!
Here comes 'El Cucuy'!
Thanks man, but I never trust Box Rec. They always "jump the gun" on fights. I still don't think a promoter will put two promising Cubans, who haven't fought a *Big Fight, against each other.Quote:

I am not sure if you are playing about them being Cuban, cus they aint Cuban. They both be Boriqua. (Puerto Ricans)Quote:

I am a huge Cotto fan but Quintana is just nasty. I don't see how Cotto can beat him. I think Quintana is good enough to clean out the division.Quote:

Hmmm.... two undefeated local boys going at it, with Cotto facing a dangerous southpaw in his intro into 147. Don't get much better than that!
About time for Cotto to step up that's great. Finally his team has more confidence in Cotto to let him lose a bit.

Cotto was not only taking on undefeated fighters, he went out and sought some of the people he lost against as an amatuer and he smoked them like Cheech & Chong smoke bong. Cotto took care of unfinished business. I am not saying that Cotto has had the toughest opposition but his is a lot better than Quintanas.
Cotto will beat this undefeated south paw and in a very brutal matter. Broken jaw? Cracked ribs? Taking knees like a choir boy? Quintana is gonna get busted up one way or another. Cotto is making that move up and he will be ducked worse than Margarito.
Cotto will be the new Cucuy. Arum will have no choice other than put up his two best Welters to fight one another. I like both Cotto and Margarito but I am on the Cotto express and nothing can stop that train from steam rolling his opponents. :)
I am very nervous about this fight,Quintana is top 5 in my opinion and his style is dangerous for anyone. If Cotto gets by him,I would be verry impressed and if he does not,I will still rate him for fighting a dangerous guy.If he loses,he should still stay at 147.
Quintana isn't much Cotto will stop him with body shotsQuote:

I hear what you are saying and I can understand you being nervous.
This aint the first time Cotto has stepped in with a good SouthPaw. Poor DeMarcus Corley was taking knees to avoid Cottos bombs. Cotto will have no problem making weight and he will be 100 % something we have not seen due to weight issues.
I will have faith for the both of us cus my faith in Cotto is that damn big.
Have a CC and remember me late on Dec 2 ;)
CC back bro,Decemeber 2 will be like 2 bdays in 1 for me! Cotto v Quintana and Margarito Clottey,2 awesome fights!!! I believe in Cotto and if he wins this,DANG!!! It's just Quintana's stlye,and he's quite big,skilled and stylish. He can be very elsuive too,I mean did Julio land?!Quote:

LAS VEGAS -- Junior welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto will get a chance to win a belt in his second division when he makes his welterweight debut Dec. 2, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com.
Cotto, moving up because of recent struggles to make weight, faces fellow Puerto Rican Carlos Quintana at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., for the 147-pound belt Ricky Hatton vacated last week in order to return to the junior welterweight division.
"We can't announce it officially until everything is signed, but everything has been agreed to by everybody," Arum said.
Arum is confident there will be no issues and is planning an Oct. 3 press conference in New York to announce the show.
"Everybody says they've agreed, but you don't know until it's signed," Arum said. "That being said, we're planning the press conference."
Also appearing on Showtime's final card of the year: welterweight titleholder Antonio Margarito defending against rugged Joshua Clottey.
Showtime and HBO will go head-to-head Dec. 2 in what is becoming an all-to-common occurrence for boxing fans. However, Showtime's card figures to pack more punch. HBO will counter-program with a card featuring middleweight contender Winky Wright, probably against Ike Quartey, who would move up from junior middleweight.
Making Cotto-Quintana work was not easy. Initially, plans were for Cotto (27-0, 22 KOs) to fight Oktay Urkal, the German contender who has been a mandatory challenger for ages. Urkal was due to face Quintana, who burst on the scene in June by outpointing hot prospect Joel "Love Child" Julio in an elimination bout.
However, Quintana (23-0, 18 KOs), a southpaw, was reluctant to step aside and allow Cotto to fight Urkal for the vacant belt, even with the promise of step-aside money and an assurance that he would get a shot at the winner. He wanted his title shot now.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for Carlos to step in the ring with an elite fighter like Miguel Cotto," said Ron Katz of Northeast Promotions, which handles Quintana. "When a boxer reaches a fight of this level he knows he has arrived, and we feel that Carlos will be up to the challenge and emerge victorious."
Urkal (37-3, 11 KOs) took Top Rank up on its offer. He'll get $125,000 to stand aside and let Cotto and Quintana duke it out with the contractual promise that he will face the winner next.
"I think people have been talking to Showtime about what a great fight the Quintana fight is," Arum said. "Some people were knocking the Urkal fight a little. My guys [matchmakers Bruce Trampler and Brad Goodman] say that Quintana is the kind of guy Cotto should be able to handle, but it's a competitive fight. It's a very good fight."
If Cotto and Margarito both win their fights Dec. 2, the obvious match would be for them to meet in a unification fight. "That's down the road," Arum said.
Cotto leaves behind the 140-pound division after six defenses, including a seventh-round knockout of Ricardo Torres in their epic battle in September 2005.
With Cotto set to relinquish his 140-pound belt, Torres will get another chance to fight for it. He'll face Mike Arnaoutis for the vacant title Nov. 18 on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao-Erik Morales III.

Cotto Margarito to meet down the road?!!!!!???!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what Quintanas reach is but it's either long as hell or he knows how to extend it longer that what it appears. He was jabbing Julio from across the ring.Quote:
