    I can appreciate that you're a big Cotto fan. But again... fighting a Chavez Jr., who has done absolutely NOTHING to warrant a shot at a Cotto, would be a questionable career move for Cotto. However, IF and WHEN that were to happen, I'm pretty sure that Cotto's body shots, superior boxing skills, and warrior mentality will crush Junior and retire him for good.

    But Cotto would make a big pay check on a relatively low risk fight, the Mexico Vs. PR rivalry would be back in full swing and he would make some bucks.

    Cotto deserves an easy fight and to make money I feel at this point.
    That's exactly my point, Onix. Good call. Cotto hasn't been in an easy fight since Jennings. Pacquiao, Margarito, Clottey, Foreman. Chavez Jr. would be a big money fight and in my opinion relatively low risk.

    All good points... and Cotto DOES deserve a relatively easy fight at this point in time. However, Cotto is no spring chicken, and he doesn't have all the time in the world. He clearly said he wants the big names. I'm not sure Chavez Jr. qualifies in that regard, but if he WERE to fight him, I'd line up some big names for Cotto to close out his magnificent career. I may be in the minority here, but I think a rematch with Pacquiao, with Emanuel now firmly in Cotto's corner, could end up surprising a lot of people.
