Re: Miguel Cotto won't rule out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez
Yea bro.. I give him alot of credit for stepping up to Margarito in 08 and for the fact that he gave into Pacman's catchweight demand but all the fights that took place before 08 and after the pacman bout were calculated moves.. I dont see Cotto as a big risk taker and his resume isn't that mind boggling..starting to? his resume speaks for itself, if having that much of a stacked record is playing it safe I'd love to see a "risk takers" record
Cotto is a perfect example of how Arum handles his fighters.. They get pampered. Cotto turned pro in the early 2000 and his first real step up was none other than ZAB JUDAH in 07.. IT took him nearly 7 years to fight somebody with a name..

Re: Miguel Cotto won't rule out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez
Pre-and including-Margarito I, Cotto had as solid of a resume as anyone in boxing. Post-Margarito I, Cotto's fights have all been calculated moves.Yea bro..

At this point in his career, Canelo, Chavez Jr. and Mayweather are the big $ fights. Cotto isn't taking the risks that a fight with Sergio Martinez or James Kirkland would bring. He's fortunate to be in that position in a way. Cotto's fight with Margarito did 550K ppv buys allegedly. That's big-time. Other than Mayweather and Pacquiao, no one else does those numbers. Frankly, I bet he can duplicate it with a Canelo fight.
Re: Miguel Cotto won't rule out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez
I've said it for a long time, Cotto has a solid style to fight Mayweather. Good solid jab, good pop, he can still dig to the body, and he's a lot better boxer than he's given credit for. The handspeed issue has popped up throughout Miguel's career most notably in the Pacquiao fight (where Cotto didn't have a trainer in his corner or during his training) but I remember when he fought Mosley and Zab those two were supposed to have better handspeed, they did, but in those fights it was all about TIMING and Miguel can do that. Remember how well De la Hoya did vs Floyd...I think Cotto can bring similar trouble to Floyd. Plus, Floyd likes getting a rise out of people....you just can't outrage Cotto, dude is stonefaced, he doesn't get visibly riled up.
In the Pacquiao rematch all Cotto needs to do is copy what JMM did which I think he can do AND add power to it...dude lasted a long time without being properly trained the first time, he may surprise people in a rematch, if anything it would be more competitive.
JC Jr. is still a bit raw, he's been moved along quite slowly. He's big, but he doesn't seem to hit like a 180 pounder.
Canelo is a pick'em fight, I'd favor Cotto though...I mean just a while ago Jose Miguel Cotto lasted 9 with Canelo, Matthew Hatton lasted the distance! I think Miguel Cotto is more talented than those guys.
I even think Cotto-Martinez is a pretty close fight...Miguel has done well with southpaws before. I just doubt he wants to move to 160 because he's too small

Re: Miguel Cotto won't rule out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez
Glad Cotto is a free agent which should mean he is getting the most out of his career in terms of money and opportunities. He should not bother going up to middleweight, or down to welterweight, that can wait as a back up should he lose. The ideal fight would be against Canelo, which would be a unification fight against a Mexican undefeated fighter.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Miguel Cotto won't rule out Mayweather, Canelo, Chavez
he beat Bazan, N'Dou before picking up his title against Pinto who at the time was considered a top guy at 140 and was even set to fight Hatton, he beat Sosa who had given Mayweather a hell of a fight and Corley who had just stunned the fuck out of Mayweather and lost a close fight against Judah, he later fought tough top guys at 140 such as Malignaggi, Torres, Bailey, etc., at 147 he fought Quintana before he beat Judah and Quintana had just come off his then best performance against highly rated Joel Julio, also he went on to beat Williams afterwards, you can manipulate his record all you want but name any other guy in his weight class that he "avoided", he tried to make the Hatton fight but by the time it was available Hatton was about to jump back down to 140 and Cotto was moving up to 147, Mayweather avoided the fight and decided to go up against lesser opposition, only gimme's Cotto has really had since the his "loss" to Margarito was Jennings and MayorgaYea bro..

Clottey, Foreman, and the Margarito rematch are all valid fights, hell he was chosen to lose all 3 fucking fights....

Ya I dont think Cotto is ducking anyone. As for being scared to fight Martinez I don't think he is I personally think he'll beat him at a weight of 158. People act like Cotto is the only one Martinez has called out he's called out mayweather and pacquiao too and you don't see them jumping around saying let's do it. If he wants to fight them so bad he should move down in weight. None of them need Martinez to make money he needs them.he beat Bazan, N'Dou before picking up his title against Pinto who at the time was considered a top guy at 140 and was even set to fight Hatton, he beat Sosa who had given Mayweather a hell of a fight and Corley who had just stunned the fuck out of Mayweather and lost a close fight against Judah, he later fought tough top guys at 140 such as Malignaggi, Torres, Bailey, etc., at 147 he fought Quintana before he beat Judah and Quintana had just come off his then best performance against highly rated Joel Julio, also he went on to beat Williams afterwards, you can manipulate his record all you want but name any other guy in his weight class that he "avoided", he tried to make the Hatton fight but by the time it was available Hatton was about to jump back down to 140 and Cotto was moving up to 147, Mayweather avoided the fight and decided to go up against lesser opposition, only gimme's Cotto has really had since the his "loss" to Margarito was Jennings and MayorgaYea bro..

If Paul Williams gets past the guy the KO Kirkland, would anyone consider a Williams vs Cotto fight.

It's a decent point. I've wondered where Williams will go assuming he beats Ishida. I expect him to beat Ishida badly too.
