why did he want this fight?
Cause he likes to fight the best out there and this is the BEST STEP UP fight he could have un like other fighter who move up in weight and fight someone whos been there for 1 fight at that weight... *cough!! PBF *cough!!
Or other fighters who are after $$$$ and $$$$ only and think that by taking the easy route and fighting mediocre fighters to set up what was suppose to be a MEGA fight is the best thing and in the end they get bit right in the ass.... And are left chasing some tale in a N.Y. club only to be dragged your azz out of the club by the wifey!! need I say more...
I don't know why he took this fight. All the Puerto Ricans are agains it. I am not Puerto Rican so this does not affect me all that much. I am a Cotto fan and I can live with a win, lose or a draw. I am just glad he is moving up to welter where there is more action. I don't know why Ricky Hatton moved back down. The fight I wanted to see was Ricky vs Miguel and I think I am not alone when I say that. Another fight I am looking forward to is Cotto vs Margarito and I hope Arum makes it happen. I am still going to root for Cotto and I have a funny feeling we will not see a wreckless Miguel Cotto of late.
its a bad buisness maneuver tho, most people dont know torres and a loss to him on paper looks bad to them, i think he is gonna loose pretty bad, but he will still be the man for dominating magaliniOriginally Posted by CutMeMicK

lol @ the Malignaggi comment. People are saying Cotto has been strung along very smoothly in his career and that he needs to step it up. I say the same thing. These are fighters not little beauty queens. If you call yourself a fighter than fight tough opposition. I respect any fighter more if he takes a tough fight. Not like that puzzy PBF.Originally Posted by SalTheButcher
I think this is going to be a great fight. Quintana can really box and move, he will give Cotto a very very strong test. I like Cotto a lot and am nervous about this fight, could go either way IMO. Cant say a bad thing about Cotto win, lose, or draw. Cant wait for this one.

I respect him for taking this fight. Its going to be a great fight and a real 50-50.Originally Posted by Danny_G
In regards to hatton, He has come back down to 140lb because that is where he is best. He can make the weight no problem despite looking like butterbean in between fights so why give other boxers an advantage bt taking away your own advantages
Ive heard though that if castillo and hatton both win on Jan 20th they will get it on in June with the winner of that one moving up to fight cotto (should cotto also still be undefeated)![]()
I give Cotto the edge in this one going into the fight i say about 60-40 towards Cotto. But i do rate Quintana and hats off to Cotto for taking another risky fight.
CC. I'm totally co-signing on Cotto getting beat. He made a big mistake, I think at 147 Cotto is average. Quintana WILL expose Cotto for the world.Originally Posted by SalTheButcher
Cotto wants to prove he is one of the best by fighting one of the best at ww,he wants to make his mark straight away! Dangerous fight but I know he can do it!
It's a tough fight and don't just focus on the ramifications of a loss to Quintana.
Miguel Cotto, unlike many superstars in the sport is taking a CHALLENGE and I think that is what the sport needs the most
I love it when fighters take risks like this. Cotto may lose but I think he has a good chance, I respect him for taking the fight. Hopefully he wont get slated like Hatton did just because it was not a convincing win. At least Cotto has the balls to fight a natural welter.
Props to Cotto for taking this risky fight. Although I after watching Quintana dismantal Julio, I got to go with him for this one.
Man, I wish I had showtime for this fight.
Yo man, why make a random quote like "All Puerto Ricans are against it?" That's not true at all. We are very excited because this does not happen very often in boxing. Mexicans usually fight each other all the time, but not Ricans. This is historical in a sense, even though Cotto and Quintana haven't reached greatness yet. If you read the Puerto Rican papers on a daily basis, you will know that Ricans are HYPED about this. So don't post things you know nothing about!Originally Posted by Danny_G
I should not have said all. I ment to say that alot of PR' are torn about this fight because both are Boriqua and they don't want to see either one lose and I can understand that. If you go to the Cotto forum, you will read how many do not want this fight to happen. I said the same thing you just said. I told them why be torn? Mexicans get down all the time and we try not to trip out about it. I am glad to hear that the Boriquas are excited about this fight. I got tired of hearing the Boriquas on the Cotto forum cry about it and that is one of the reasons I stopped going there.Originally Posted by Rican
