Oscar offers Cotto 10 mil minimum for Alvarez fight

[Spicoli]

10 million in stone is an obscene Christmas and a must take but this will shoot all of Cottos talk about 147 return to bits...lemme guess, catchweight and both are trinket less? I think Alvarez would be too strong for Cotto either way but money talks.

Golden Boy offer Quillen If Cotto wants a 160 shot

I don't think that Quillin is a safer bet at 160, and there wouldn't be 10 million in that fight combined. A faded elite welterweight against a young middleweight puncher, what's the point. Cotto is not a big guy and has no business at 160 imo, Quillin would be the hardest puncher he's ever fought by a stretch.

[Ron Swanson]

Perfect all around.

Right fight for Canelo.

Right fight for Cotto.

And Martinez nolonger has a payday excuse against either to get out of fighting the other top Middleweights.

[Spicoli]

If Martinez ever fought Cotto at 160 he should be asked to retire. Both of them! I don't think that was -really- ever a serious consideration. I thought Cotto would be steered into a Molina trinket grab to bring a door prize before Alvarez.

[p4pking]

I don't think Cotto even has much going for him at 154, that's just where the money is now. Wouldn't mind Martinez fighting him since he's been inactive and injured, but it's a fight with no real implications for the winner so I getcha. Cotto deserves a couple more big paydays, but he has no chance of securing any kind of foothold above welter. Angulo or Kirkland would be good fights for him if all else fails, he isn't beating Lara, Trout, Golovkin, Quillin or Martinez imo.

[Spicoli]

Yeh that's what I've been thinking straight off the Rodriquez showcase. Nothing but mass respect for Cotto but it leans far more to a huge proper cash out or last mega bout for him. He'd be wasting his time and last glory with a Angulo or Kirkland, stepping stone status totally and zero gain. Molina has a trinket and just had Ortiz refused...Andrade v Vanes is not a bad match at all and puts another door prize in the works at 154 as of Sat. night? Cotto deserves a top go but behind the scenes they just see him as a huge scalp and I'd hate to see him thrown to the wolves at 160.
