Cotto vs. Clottey, Margarito vs. Castillo in March?

[bzkfn]

In a recent interview with popular Spanish outlet Primerhora, Top Rank promotor Bob Arum said that he would like to match up WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto with Joshua Clottey in March, with an undercard bout between Antonio Margarito and former lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo, who fought his last bout near the welterweight limit. Provided both get the W, Cotto would face Margarito in June.

B O X I N G S C E N E are running this one.

Castillo should pack in he is done now.

Cotto has to fight the winner of Hatton vs PBF then Margo

[donnydarkoIRL]

Cotto is turning out to be some champ isn't he?
Clottey is a pretty avoided fighter, justifiably as for a welter he's pretty damn fierce!

Castillo should pack in he is done now.

Well as far as I'd heard he was supposed to be challenging for Ricardo Torres WBO belt soon. That should be an indication of how done he is. He needs the money, so he's kinda gotta carry on.

I read in boxing news that Jlc was the mandatory for junior Witters belt or had to fight a final eliminator or something.

I hope he's ready for Margarito, because if he's not done now he might very well be after he fights Tony. This is a fight I don't really want to see happen. Cotto/Clottey will be a nice match up, though I can't see anything other than a V for Cotto.

That's exactly right he has no choice, but to keep boxing, he has like 80 kids and that lawsuit to pay off.

Margarito will crush Castillo

Cotto vs Clottey will be very hard fight for Cotto, obviously Cotto will be the favorite but i wouldn't put my money on Cotto to win thats for certain.

[bcollins]

I'd love to see Cotto/Clottey. That would be a brutal fight.

I think I'd rather see Margarito fight Williams again, even if the result would probably be the same.

IF HAtton did that damage to JLC imagine what Margarito could do. Very very bad IDEA. Arum if you like castillo that much don't put him up for this

Yeah I don't see how this can help either guy: Margarito's image or Castillo's health. Arum that a## probably will bet the bank on Tony and make a sacrificial lamb out of Castillo. I just don't get it

[OumaFan]

The Margarito-Castillo one sucks to me, they could find something better than that.

Clottey is definitely not a gimme fight for Cotto but I don't think Clottey will do enough to win it, something about him makes me think he'll never quite get over the hump against an elite or top guy.

He doesn't like Castillo. Castillo cost his promotion one of its biggest paydays when he showed up overweight for the third Corrales fight.


Remember he was talking all the "as far as Im concerned I don't represent him!" talk?

[Mr140]

Well at least Margarito is staying busy and hope he will get a shot at Williams but if he fought Cotto i be betting on Margarito his style not good for Cotto.
