Why is Miguel Cotto moving up?

[killersheep]

Cotto is a great fighter, but he has taken some big hits recently. I hope he takes plenty of time and comes back at 154lb bigger, better and stronger than before. I would hate to see him start to lose to fighters no where near his class. Cotto should not return until after May/June at the earliest.

well that's what i had heard, he was supposingly gonna come back in June and fight Cintron at 154 in Yankee Stadium on the eve of the Puerto Rican day parade, i can't stand Cintron, but you know the atmosphere for that fight would be insane

I hope Cotto makes Cintron cry. Cintron is going to be a heavy underdog with the books, but he definitely should not be overlooked. Could be a very good match-up.

LMAO!!! That was my first thought when I heard Cintron calling Miguel out.

As much as I would like to see Miguel make Cintron cry, I would rather have Miguel go for a title fight in a 3rd weight division before he hangs them up, so I hope he gets the Foreman fight.

I'm still sooooooooooooo depressed about Miguel hanging them up so soon.

Seriously.

Yeh, his options right now aren't looking to good:
-Fight a heavier, stronger Cotto.
-Fight (a possibly) roided-up Pacquaio at some ridiculous catch-weight with other skewed terms.

I'm not sure if I'd like to see Cotto fight Cintron at this point in his career. While I think Cotto could come out with a win, the risk/reward ratio isn't great. Cintron is a dangerous fighter without an enormous fanbase. Foreman would definitely be the easier fight.
