Steward Sees Tough Fight For Miguel Cotto

[Majesty]

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.

He beat Julio and thats it. He could have 50 fights, but given his competition. He's still a goldfish, he hasn't faced anyone NEAR Cotto. So he's still a goldfish, he beat Julio. Julio is green and doesn't know what a jab is or a body shot is for that matter. What's gonna happen when Quintana is faced with all these things for the first time. Cotto is going to overwhelm him. Quintana is brave..but Cotto is going to overwhelm him with crisp accurate shots.
