Steward Sees Tough Fight For Miguel Cotto

[Rican]

Why didn't Cotto fight Collazo?

I think Collazo's "win" against Hatton was more impressive then Quintana's win over Julio.

Maybe it was but for Cotto's first fight at 147 its very impressive, I doubt that many people would have complained if Cotto had taken on a no hoper cause its a move up in weight and a lot of guys do that, Quintana's a very solid first fight at a new weight. I don't see any reason to complain about it, Urkal was boring, this is a good fight.

I agree. But Hatton took a bigger risk in fighting Collazo. And now that everyone has SEEN Collazo, I thought maybe Cotto should take that risk and see if he could do better.

Quintana is the easier fight no doubt. But I thought SOMEONE should at least give Collazo a shot.

At the time though i'm not sure people thought Collazo was a bigger risk. Not everybody saw the Rivera fight, I saw it but it was hard to tell if Collazo was that good or if Rivera was S***. Rivera's turned out to be allright.

Collazo should get a shot but another thing is that Collazo's with Don King right? If Arum and King can avoid working together they probably will, it wouldn't be a superfight or anything, probably easier to work out a deal with Quintana than Collazo.

And I don't know if Quintana's the easier fight NO DOUBT, he may well be but Quintana's got a lot of promise, they're both skilled lefthanders, Quintana might be stronger, Collazo's a bit more experienced.

Quintana has a lot of promise but this is the wrong guy to find that out against. He's jumping from a Guppy to a Shark and he's still a goldfish.

By the way, Quintana is 29 years old and even though he has 23 fights, he is very experienced in the ring. He's no goldfish.
