The POLL: Who should Cotto fight next?

[Gandalf]

I wouldn't mind the Pac fight. But a catchweight of 143 pounds is just retarded. If Manny cannot fight at WW proper then he should just stay at 140. It's pathetic telling all these long time WW's that they must dry themselves out before he will get in the ring with them.

Otherwise, a rematch with Mosley would be nice. Cotto and Mosley need a common opponent seeing as Manny is too to face them proper they might as well face off.

I actually see a clear line to unification in the welterweight division.

With Williams moving up and Margarito banned there are four big guns in the division, (I'm exluding Floyd because he doesnt want anything of the welterweight scene)

Miguel Cotto
Shane Mosely
Andre Berto
Kermit Cintron

Let Cotto fight Cintron and Mosely fight Berto, the two winners fight for all the marbles.

Clottey can hopefully get back in on the action too against one of semi final losers.

[Kel]

Pac at 147 or a rematch with Shane. Floyd would be nice because I think Cotto can put combos together much better that Hoya at 154 could manage, so I think he takes Floyd.

[Rocky Balboa]

Sorry ^^^ but I think Mayweather would be dancing circles around Cotto. He did good against Clottey but looked extremely slow. I can't see him doing anything to Mayweather.

So far I see 2 guys who voted for Margacheato rematch, boozeboxer and JoeyUK... Any reasons guys why you want a Cotto-Margacheato rematch??

Because Margarito beat him the first time and it was no fluke. He systematically broke down a weaker man. And he can rinse and repeat.

Also, it is a crossroads fight since Margarito got his ass beat by Mosely.

Good point... I also have high praises for boxers who seek revenge for their defeats...

I voted for Mosley. To me it makes the most sense at that weight and both for Cotto and Mosley as far as supremacy at 147 and their 1st fight was pretty darn entertaining too. The winner could defiantly set up a mega fight with either Pacman, JMM or PBF.

I really think Cintron would starch Cotto. Cotto's the better fighter, but Cintron is a terrible match-up for him IMO.

Would you vote for Cintron then? Or you like other better match-up for Cotto? I haven't seen your vote yet...

I would not vote for Cintron. If I had to choose I would pick either a rematch with Mosley or Pacquiao at 147. Those are the fights which most interest me.

As for Margarito, I think he'd have a great chance of beating Cotto again, but I really don't think Cotto wants to fight him because of the plaster scandal. He seems genuinely pissed off about it and his comments prior to the Clottey fight implied that he think a) Margarito knew exactly what was being put in his wraps, and b) that he did the same thing in their fight.

PAC at 147 was not in the poll options... but you can vote for it lumped in the "Others" option... Still I haven't seen yet your very important vote...

[The_Infinite]

Can't you add an option for Pacquiao at 147? I think there's at least 2 or 3 who posted here that they want a Pac-Cotto fight at 147.

I voted for a Clottey rematch. I really think Clottey will have learned from his mistakes from the first bout and not get too lazy/confident in a rematch. He has the tools to beat Cotto. Also, if Cotto wins convincingly in the rematch, it would erase some question marks from his last performance.

Same opinion here: Shane is #1, Cotto is #2 so fight for the supremacy and the champion title of the ww division.
Another reason to fight Mosley is that the first fight was very close.
But as a boxing fan I‘d love to see him in with Pac. I also prefer to see it happened at 147 but if they decide to fight at catchweight I will respect that and I will not criticize them.

[hardcore_crash]

Cotto needs to fight either Mosley or Margarito IMO.
It will let us see if he still the Miguel that people were talking about constantly.
I do not want him to fight Pac, especially at 143.
