Now we have our first clash of this new era of promotion.
Cotto is still loosely attached with Arum.
Alvarez firmly with Oscar who has said he wants to work with Bob
Floyd is with Haymons harem who split with Oscar and hired his x partner who left under bad circumstances.
I think it will be Bob and Oscar doing lunch tomorrow.
I think that Cotto with Freddy in his corner would make an interesting challenge for Floyd, and I think that with how the first fight went, the money that will be made, and the historic implications for Floyd by winning the 160 lb lineal title, this fight makes the most sense for everyone. Floyd should be favored, no doubt, but I think Miguel has a realistic chance for the following reasons:
1. Floyd has lost a step at this point of his career (in my opinion)
2. Cotto and Roach "click" together and Cotto understands Roach's strategy/training style
3. Freddie has been preparing to face Floyd (with Manny) for years
4. Cotto seems to have a ton of confidence in himself and Freddie
5. Floyd will not be as "up" for the fight as Cotto will (revenge will be a big factor for Miguel)
6. Cotto's left hook and jab have improved under Roach and I think those punches will give Floyd significant issues
I don't want to give the impression that I think Cotto is unbeatable or that Floyd isn't great or will lose, I just think this will be a better match up at this point than it was when they fought last time.
