Cotto's Options

[CFH]

Honestly, as good as Cotto looked tonight, I don't see him beating any of the elite at 154. He's just too small. He might beat limited or fragile fighters like Angulo or Cintron, but he will lose to the best at 154. I just don't see him being overly successful at the weight.

Who do you consider elite at 154?
Just curious... Because I think he beats anyone of them on any given night.
For the record I only consider Martinez & Williams elite at this moment.
The rest are challengers/top contenders/title holders

Williams
Cintron
Martinez
Margarito
Angulo
Rhodes

I think Martinez and Williams beat him; I would have him as a big underdog in both those fights. Like you, those are the guys I really consider elite at 154's elite. I think Cintron is pretty much a 50/50 fight (I know I'll probably get laughed at for saying that), I've felt that way since they were both at welter.

I'd like to see Cotto - Angulo, I think Cotto would win because, frankly, I think Angulo is the definition of limited, but it would be a good fight.

I wouldn't laugh him and cintron would be interesting (maybe with some extra padding and pillows around the ring). Angulo is another i'd like to see. Both very winnable and not too too tough for the guy.

Still some big fights out there for Cotto.

Him and Berto is a great fan's fight. As most has mentioned Angulo would be a great opponent too.

I think we can probably expect to see him face the winner of Chavez Jr and Duddy. Personally I think Duddy can beat Chavez and I really a Cotto Duddy fight at Maddison Square Garden. The Irish will pack that and it would be a very fan friendly fight.

Yup a fight with Berto would be evenly matched, although I do think that Berto might still be slightly bigger considering he(Berto) was a middleweight as an amateur. While Martinez and Williams are middleweights squeezing tight in the welters or superwelter, Cotto a normal sized welter is small compared to these two.

How does everyone think Cotto would do against Dzinziruk?

Could be a tough fight for Cotto.

That Dziniruk guy has a great jab that could give Cotto problems.

I think Cotto would beat him though.

[SaltyBacon]

rematch shane at 154 would be the best option or very hypothetical a fight with saul alverez
he can even go for a 4th belt in weight division and challenge felix sturm, but that would never happen

I forgot about him. I would pick him to decision Cotto as well. I think he'd frustrate Miguel and keep him on the outside with his jab for the majority of the fight.

Angulo is crap....I haven't seen a guy so overhyped without really having any potential since Panchito Bojado.

Miguel Cotto wouldn't just stop Angulo, he'd outbox him AND make it look easy.

Unlike Margarito #1 Angulo's wraps won't be loaded and #2 He throws fewer and slower punches VERY simple to counter but you have to move your head and legs and the guys he has fought (bar the former Manny Steward charge Kermit Cintron) no one has either had the skill to do that or even tried to do anything other than fight Angulo's fight.

The reason Cotto will STOP Angulo when Cintron couldn't is easily answered LEFT HOOK TO THE BODY
