rematch Manny or winner of berto ortiz
Cotto next fight should be Alvarez for that is worth a PPV buy. Not Kirkland!!! But if Cotto dont fight Alvarez here a few other good fights for Cotto . . .
Molina
Lara
K-9(trained by Manny Steward and have a title)
Great Post @TitoFan - Cotto impressed me more in this losing effort than he had in his last three fights. I underestimated him. He fought hard until the end of the 12th round. I actually had Cotto winning 3-4 rounds and for the first time since Castillo, Mayweather looked vulnerable. The Cotto that fought Mayweather would be a tough fight for Pacquiao now. Frankly, I believe it's a toss up fight at this stage, and if Bradley doesn't beat him first, Pacquiao-Cotto II, makes a lot of sense. With regard to Mayweather, he did a great job against a quality opponent. He should be credited for the win. It was a good night for boxing. For the first time in what seems like a while, there was no controversy isurrounding a big fight. It was a fun fight too.
Cotto only fights marquee, big-name fighters at this stage in his career so Lara, Molina or Bundrage are fights that won't be made. Cotto versus Martinez or Alvarez are the fights to make for him at 154. Both are ppv-worthy events. Oscar said that Alvarez isn't ready for Mayweather. At 21, that's completely fair. Is he ready for Cotto? I'm not sure either. It's a closer call.
Even after Cotto's performance, I still stand by the fact that Cotto is fighting at 154 because it's easier for him to make weight, not because it's his most effective weight class. A true strong junior middleweight would give him a tough fight, just based on size. I really thought we were seeing two true welterweights fighting at 154 on Saturday.
Cotto vs Martinez interests me the most. Sergio is a smallish middleweight and Cotto has had good success vs southpaws. Perhaps Cotto-Paul Williams would sell. Cotto-Alvarez, Cotto-Kirkland, Cotto-Vanes, etc.
Miguel has earned another big money fight, I wouldn't mind seeing him fight the Berto-Ortiz winner either.
Cotto lost but he has many more options than Floyd who won.
Alvarez and Martinez wonuld be 2 big fights for him for starters.
Balls
Fight canelo if he wins then rematch paquiao if he wins that rematch floyd then maybe retire.
I think Alvarez is Cotto's best option
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
You are 100% correct. Boxing needed a terrific fight like that. So glad Cotto delivered big. He didn't get the "W".... but he did himself and us fans proud. Mayweather showed some good sportsmanship praising Cotto after the fight. He knows he was in a real fight. This is one fight I can't wait to see again. It was entertaining as hell.
If you were "factually" stating what happened, you would have said that Pacquiao beat the shit out of Cotto at a catchweight of 145lbs and with no trainer" - As it stands, you're being selective in your so-called facts.
Here's a "fact" for you though because I know you like facts : Pacquiao refused to fight Cotto in a rematch unless it was at 145..why is this if he so handily beat the shit out of Miguel in their first fight? (Not to mention that he is the fucking WELTERWEIGHT champion of the world NOT the 145lb champion)
To follow on from that, I would love a Pac vs Cotto rematch. I fancy Cotto to take him to the cleaners at 154. Why not? Doesn't Pacquiao formerly hold at belt at Light Middle? Or was that the 150lb belt he vacantly (and fraudalently won) against Marg?
Unfortunately team Pac will continue to sell snake oil to the Pac fans all over the world. I wish Pac would fire about 85% of his retarded team and develop a brain to think for himself. Bob Arum would be first to go and Roach wouldn't be calling any shots for Pac either.
I agree!. But if it was me to decide as a fan I'd rather have him one more big fight then retire. At this point it's not his skills or physicality that will betray him but the tensile strength of his skin Miguel has onion skin. Even with his loss to PBF I would still consider that one of his signature fights.
