If Cotto should lose to Mosley, does this seem like a fight that would be made early next year??? I personally would love to see it, but wonder if Williams or Cintron will get shots at Cotto 1st. Or would Tony rematch Kermit or Paul 1st??? What's the most likely to happen 1st???
Cotto,f he wins will look for fights with Floyd,then Oscar and if those 2 fail,then most likely Margarito. If the Cotto fight does not get made,Tony will hopefully keep busy and most likely will fight the winner of PW v Kermit,which should take place early next year. If not,then he could just fight the loser of the Cotto Mosley fight which would still be awesome.
I don't know who he will fight but Margarito is certanly still in the mix and would give anybody a tough fight.
Totally agree. He's still elite at WW and would still beat most of them imo.Quote:

I hope you are right Legion,but I'm just glad to see him active. As long as he looks sharp and gets the W,I really don't mind. I honestly thought we were not going to see the Tj tornado in action for a LONG time,so I'm happy to see him fight again so soon! The PW fight had little effect on him! ;D
I'm glad he's being a busy-bee too. All that shows me is his determination to show people he's still around and not to be forgotten, and that he's pissed about the PW loss. I think I'm more excited to see Tony fight than the main event, crazy as that sounds :DQuote:

If SSM beats Cotto via SD or MD chances are we'll see a re-match but if SSM beats Cotto with no doubts more then likely they'll move on.
Margarito IMO is the easiest fight that can be made in the sense that they are both TR fighters.

You've got a great point there.Quote:

This way if one of his top guys (Cotto) loses, he still can have him fight on another ppv in his next fight against another one of his guys (Margarito) whose selling power took a big hit when he lost to Paul Williams.
I think Margarito would look foolish, and definitely worse than Cotto against MAyweather because he is so slow, and throws wide punches, but because of his chin and workrate I think he would ko Cotto.
nicely put and along the the premise that styles make fightsQuote:

If Cotto loses, then I don't see him fighting Margarito next. He'd probably take a step back and fight an easier opponent. That'd be a tough assignment for Cotto to fight Margarito coming off a defeat to Mosley.
If Cotto beats Mosley, his stardom and drawing appeal will be higher than ever, and he and Arum will go after a superfight with Mayweather for Summer '08. If that fight didn't happen for some reason, then you could see a Margarito fight as Plan B. But there'd be too much money to be made from a Mayweather-Cotto fight, I think both sides would be ready to strike a deal.
If Cotto beats Mosely any chance DLH will try to make a fight with him, or is he sticking by the whole not fighting PR fighters thing?
I would like to see Cotto fight Mosley, Mayweather, and de la Hoya in that order (that would be a dream as a Cotto fan). I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto fight Margarito, and I hope the fans won't get disappointed when they see a different Cotto that night. Since Margarito is an imposing physical presence, we will not see such a hard charging Cotto. We will see more of a back-pedaling, counter-punching Cotto, sort of like the one we saw against Abdullaev. This will expose Cotto as the all-around boxer than he can truly be.

I honestly see Arum setting up a fight for Cotto (win or lose) with Margarito next summer before the PR parade. I also see Cintron beating Williams and then beating Judah later on in 08' to set up a great mega fight with Cotto the summer of 09' (once again, PR parade). Then I see Mayweather in the picture. 08' should be the year we see Cotto - Mayweather, but PBF will continue to stay away from Margarito and Cotto as he has done in the past. gee, I wonder why?
DLH - COTTO = could happen the fall of 09' if Mayweather decides to retire...........It should be DLH's going out party and be held in Puerto Rico since Oscar said he wants to fight B-C Class fighters in 08'.
I think that Cotto fighting Margarito is a bad idea because i think it would end up in Cotto getting knocked out because Margarito style would cause him problems because cotto's chin is not the best in the world and Margarito has the power to knock Cotto out and i do not think Cotto can knock Margartio out not to mention the size different Margarito should really be a Lightmiddle weight or higher i do not see this fight going to a decision i think Cotto should stay away from Margarito
Agree for the most part as far as bad styles match up for Cotto.Margarito can be a rangy power boxer with sharp shots and really throws from all angels.I think It would cause Cotto fits.I really think he could bust Cotto up.Quote:

Also a note to Opponents ...do not underestimate Cottos Power and Recouping abilities.
I know that is a war I would love to see waged ;D FOTY written all over it, whooooo-hoooo. ;) And you're right Spicoli, Cotto's desire to get up and keep doing what he's doing is second only to Jason from Friday the 13th. Knock him down, up he comes. Cotto/Margarito is simply the definition of attrition..... 8)Quote:
