Cotto likely to fight Lee next

[Spicoli]

Was hoping they'd aim higher for Cotto but its a passable initial defense as far as network and money. Lee was smacked about badly and hurt last out until he pulled a brick out of his pocket for sudden ko win. Do us a solid and do not put this on a ppv.

[Kirkland Laing]

Cotto is being lined up to fight Alvarez next Cinco so this is a keep busy fight. They could have picked an easier opponent. Lee could give him problems but probably Cotto stops him in the second half of the fight.

And here lies the problem with lineage. The lineal MW champion doesn't want to face the no. 1 contender and probably will never. Since it's speculated that Cotto's next fight will be against Alvaraz for the Lineal MW title. Golovkin has been the no. 1 MW contender for the past 3 years, Martinez ducked him and now Cotto is too.

Everyone gives someone like Wlad shit, but that guy fights all comers as the HW champ. Everyone gave shit to Pacquiao for fighting Algieri, but Algieri has at least beaten a very good fighter in Provodnikov, who has Lee beaten? Horrible fight. I call it what it is.

Cotto took on the best and most recognized middleweight and won. He is entitled to make a voluntary defence and bank some money.

GGG has to clear up the trinkets and force a fight with Cotto.

He can't clear up the trinkets when the other guys don't want to fight him. Quillen holds the WBO title and wants none of it, neither does the IBF champ Solimon, and neither does Cotto the WBC and lineal champ.

This.

And I am not saying Lee is rubbish but he has struggled against very limited opposition which is not the mark of greatness. Lame and cop out come to mind.

[holmcall]

risk-reward all in favor of Lee. He loses, he fights on. He wins, wow!!!

For Cotto, it's just the opposite.




Go for the monster money now and fight Canelo or GGG and then retire in Paradise for eternity.

[powerpuncher]

I just feel bad for ggg because he is going to get passed up by all the big names. Beating Sergio would have boosted him a ton as well as beating cotto but neither want any part of him. Quillin would be a nice fight too but politics have gotten in the way of that fight. He has fought the best that he could so far. I'm sure that cotto fight canelo after Lee but it would be nice if he fought ggg after that fight after ggg beats Solomon.

[Violent Demise]

And the ducking of Alvarez continues. Useless fight. Lee is garbage
