Arum wants Cotto to fight Gatti if he beats Malignaggi

[ElTerribleMorales]

I read the local newspaper today here at PR and Arum said that when Cotto beats Malignaggi he will have a fight against Gatti in November if Gatti beats Baldomir for the title.

All Im thinking is if this italian kid is that good?If he has what it takes to pull off the upset??Does he got the skills to back up his big a** mouth

Cuz if all that S*** hes talking about is real,I see Cotto ending frustrated like those sad days here in PR when Tito was getting outboxed like a bitch the same F****** way for 12 whole rounds,and a new star at 140.

What yall think of this Paulie

the huge difference is that Cotto's boxing ability is a lot better than Trinidad's

[bigragu]

F*** gatti, Cotto should fight ricky hatton at 140!

Hatton hasn't done enough to deserve the shot....Needs to give Collazo a rematch then move on..but he wont and he just might get exposed in his next fight....I'm not completely selling hatton out but him ducking Collazo gives me reason to question....

[terrorsid]

I'm not claiming to be a boxing expert but from the my boxing experience and watch the way Cotto fights and the way Hatton fight i would have to edge this fight to Cotto. Cotto has a slightly weak chin but a good defense. The only time his defense really gets bad is when he loads up all that power so he can go to the body. But Hatton relys on bullying people into his punching game and he can take hits from Callazo but Cotto's record speaks for itself for his hitting power to his good counter punching and speed if hatton doesn't come at angle and prevent from going toe to toe which he wont its night night time. I have Cotto by KO. Oh yea but the topic was Cotto and Gatti if Cotto can manage not to get hit by Gatti I can only see this fight being stopped by Cuts or Body shots but i'm not seeing a decision period.

Here's my take on this whole Malignaggi Cotto situation...Paulie's fast as hell but he's got no pop...but...BUT(!!!)...Cotto looks terribley gaunt.

This could be bad. Anyone that has never seen Paulie in action should prepare to be shocked. The kid really can box...that being said...I hope Miguel catches him & stops him in the first.

Hatton should be a man and fight for more money and prestige than he would get with Collazo. Hatton should fight Collazo in Manchester when his sojourn stateside is over.

He left you guys for money and glory, he isn't coming back...

BELIEVE ME. He makes more money fighting 'nobodies' 3-4 times a year than fighting the toughtest guys he can get his hands on anywhere they will fight.

He could fight a body bag and sell 22,000 at $50 a seat all the way up to $750-$1000 for top dollar. He made more money fighting tackie or vilches than collazo.

Yeah...& he actually won against Tackie & Vilches.
