Miguel Cotto's next fight...

[TitoFan]

Wow... excellent thread, and well thought-out analysis in the first few posts. A very, very interesting list. Personally, I've always wanted to see Cotto face Berto. That would be an excellent, very much crowd-pleasing fight. Mostly because of their styles. Berto's speed can give Cotto problems, but if Cotto could pull up another performance like he had against Floyd, I like Miguel's chances.

I'd also like to see Cotto vs Victor Ortiz, or Angulo.

I know you can be unbiased...even for P.R. fighters, do you whole heartedly believe that Cotto has a Mayweather level performance left in him? He looked really flat against Trout. I think Cotto beats Berto but I think his experiance and the fact that he has more tools in the bag than Berto, if it relied on him having another super performance which is what it was against Maywehather, I dont think Cotto has that left anymore. That is why I think he needs to stay away from Guerrero, Quillen, and Alvarez. Even the Angulo fight is a risk, Cotto is a better boxer but Angulo is younger, fresher, bigger, longer reach, and huge punching power, if he loses focus even a little it could be the end of the night for Cotto.

Berto & Ortiz are the best options for exciting fights that end in victory for Cotto. If he really is fighting Bundrage as someone mentioned, well that like 10 steps backwards. Thats not even stepping stone status, its just two barely relevent fighters going at it more than a few years late ala Hopkins VS Calzaghe, RJJ II, etc, etc.

Does Ortiz even want to box anymore?

Yes he wants to make big money.

Short answer: No.

I thought Cotto looked flat against Trout, also. It definitely wasn't the same level performance he turned in against Floyd. To be clear, I would be thrilled to see Cotto prove me wrong. But the reality is that Cotto's been in many wars, and he's not on the uphill side of the hill anymore. Having said that, I can't blame Cotto for fighting a Bundrage at this point. I'd like to see him follow that up with a higher profile fight, but I'd also rather wait and see how Cotto looks when he gets back in the ring.

cotto sucks and so does ortiz.

Cotto beats Bundrage and he beats......well that's pretty much it. The rest beat him. He could maybe out work Smith and get the win against him. But him beating anybody else is hard to make a case for. Quillen I think would literally sent him out on a stretcher

Cotto is passed it, my friends. If he wants a big money-fight before he retires, he should face Canelo, although it will probably end badly for him.

You'd pick Berto, Ortiz, and Smith over Cotto?

Those would all be fights Cotto would def be favored in, Smith especially.

ortiz's work rate will slowly tire old cotto out........
