    Would Cotto want to fight somebody he has to pay a proper chunk of change to, who could easily end up beating him and who isn't very well known in America when he can have an exciting looking fight against somebody well known, cheap and much easier to beat and look good against to line him up for another big PPV fight?
    Why would Cotto have to put his hand in his pocket? Realistically where is Cottos big PPV coming from and is it going to match the kind of money Eddie will chuck his way for coming over here to fight Brook?

    With Khan out the picture Cotto at 154 is Eddies preference for sure. It's probably Brooks too but that leaves a bit of a sting ditching his belt.

    I'm not sure I get all the hype for Errol Spence Jr. because his biggest win is against a worn Chris Algerie? If Kell Brook can still make 147 safely I think he should target Spence and I'd favor Kell to win that fight and Brook should get the lion's share of the purse too.....

    Hmm. I think Brook is more technically sound but I think Spence is far more explosive. Also, and I can't find the word to describe it, but Spence has a scary quality to him. It's almost as if he becomes a sociopathic punishing machine with no conscience and will only be stopped when the ref stops it. Very scary. Like Crawford, he has a real mean streak, but his is more understated than Crawford's. It's like once a button is pressed he becomes a monster. Poor Algieri found that out.

    I don't think there's any chance Cotto fights outside of America.
