I'd actually likt to see a Cintron/Cotto fight, a good fight to get back on his feet. A little P.R. showdown type fight. I don't want to see Cotto in with WIlliams right now. Another big guy who;s even made Margarito look small, haha. Cintron, Berto, Clottey/Judah winner; one of them to fight.
I think Juddah is the best option for him if Juddah can win the title, if Juddah does not theres really no point in it.
Cotto needs to avoid at all costs anyone who is a bigger puncher or taller man, namely: Cintron, Williams, and Berto.
He needs a smaller more defensive guy get a couple of those under his belt and then maybe start with Cintron as he would be the easiest and most marketable of those three fights
The key is Self-discipline.
If Berto even thinks it's open season on Cotto after seeing him lose to Margarito, he's making a BIG mistake. Cotto would have Berto for lunch.
Now you're talkin my language. But, at least someone who can defend themselves. Putting him in with a Gomez would be bad ala Boom Boom Mancini who was never the same after he killed that boxer. Cotto is gonna come back with ferocity and we need someone who can at least defend but give him his confidence.
The key is Self-discipline.
I believe De La Hoya might be a good option for Cotto to come back. He will retire De La Hoya and make big money. This may be a good way to get his confidence back, and prepare for a rematch with Margarito, if he wants. If both of them remain at 147 I believe that rematch will be unavoidable...
Puerto Rico, Small Island, Big Champions!!!
In rematches the guy with the greater skills wins about 80% of the time. He uses his skills to outbox the other guy instead of getting involved in a fight. So we've already seen the rematch. Cotto went backwards and used his boxing skills from the first bell and he still got stopped. The rematch would be no different.
I think Cotto should take 6 months off and comeback with a warm up fight early next year, regain lost confidence and challenge Margo about April/May 2009
if cotto fights margarito again the results will be the same, but worst! Cotto was hitting him with everything he had and Toni walked right through. Cotto better stay away from Toni,Williams, and Cintron he if he don't want to get ktfo!
