    I think Bradley would be his best option.

    If Cotto wants to fight on then let him Imp.

    If he can earn a living and make some big fights do not deny him his right.

    If he can get up in the morning and put his body through a training camp then why not let him fight someone at his level?

    Who would not want to see him fight Bradley, Manny Pac again and Thurman? He is still a name but not on ppv please.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Bradley has tasted the Pac paydays and perhaps cotto would be another nice payday for him.

    Cotto has still got it

    the canelo and mayweather fights weren't all that one sided, he has a case for a close fight in both, particularly against canelo

    I think if he's matched competitively (and not on PPV against a Kirkland type opponent) then he deserves to continue. He has said that he want to retire at the end of the year after 2 more fights.

    Yeah damn that Cotto.

    The nerve... trying to maximize the financial gain he can get from a brutal sport, to which he's devoted his blood and sweat for years. Why can't he follow the example of every other fighter out there, who fight not for the money, but only for the fun of it. As their careers near an end, they say "fuck it", and willingly leave millions on the table.

    He's welcome to do that and people are welcome not to buy.

    I'd like to see him call it a day rather than just pick low hanging fruit or set ups.

    Maybe I'm stuck on it but why no rematch with a Trout by this point? Promotion? 154 is a shark tank but it at least makes sense

    He still owes a Roc Nation a fight to finish out his contract. Seeing as he was guaranteed 15mil per fight on the 3 fight deal by Roc Nation, they probably want something that's going to sell which is why kirkland was mysteriously injured (broken nose) and never rescheduled when the fight wasn't selling because the fans knew kirkland was a shell.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    This is it. He's guaranteed at least one more massive payday so he's going to take it. That was an unbelievable contract he was given -- I didn't know how many fights were left on it and I thought he was guaranteed even more than that per fight but either way it's not something he's going to walk away from. RN aren't going to get other promoters matching their guys against their fighters easily but TR probably have options on Marquez and would happily take a slice of whatever Cotto-Marquez makes seeing as it's almost certainly JMM's last fight should he take it. HBO PPV?

    I would actually quite like to see marquez v cotto, it doesnt mean a huge amount now but they are both great fighters/legends and both are very good pros and keep themselves in good condition/have a good doctor :S, I think even at the advanced age of 44 marquez can still be a threat. If I dont like it i dont have to watch it, this one at least interests me a bit, a lot more than cotto v kirkland :S
