Cotto vs Alfonso Gomez might happen - I hope not

[ono]

I think 5 fights in unrealist Danny.

Why? Cotto is not Oscar De La Hoya.
Cotto is still in his prime.
I think Cotto would mop Gomez with the quickness.
I also think Cotto could mop Cintron with the quickness too.
Williams and Margarito would be a little tougher for various reasons and styles.
Cotto beats down on ODLH and sends him packing in 7.

This may be somewhat unrealistic today thanks to the fighters who only want to fight for money rather than fight the best to prove who is the best and cement a solid foundation to their legacy. If we built a house on Floyd's foundation today, the house would fall. lol

In closing, Cotto has said he wants to fight at least 4 times per year, so I am not that far off the mark because Gomez is no threat and ODLH isn't either and I have added them into the equation.

Danny it has nothing to do with the ease of Cotto getting through fights. I think Cotto will walk through almost all of his opponents. It is just how long it seems to take fights to be made. The talks, the negotiations, the distant fight date, injuries, etc. Even if he KO'd all his opponents in the first, I don't think he could get to 5 fights.

Agreed 100% CC

Top class fighters probably fight 3 times a year at most.

Prospects fight a lot more but not World Champions. Too difficult to make the fights.

Altho i wouldn't be excited about this fight....(i don't care much for reality tv stars getting world title shots just because they are famous) i think Cotto deserves a gimme. He's faced a lot of tough opponents....last year he had Urkal, Judah and Mosley so i think he deserves an easier fight.

So long as he follows it up with a top contender i won't be fussed

Alfonso Gomez is the type of Gimme that can have you looking up at the lights.. I see this match being competitive.

Gomez isn't a dangerous puncher so he is never going to floor or KO Cotto. I think Gomez will be more competitive than people expect but he won't last the distance no way. He has decent boxing skills but he gets hit way too much and no way will he last the distance against someone as strong as Cotto.

This fight going looks like an ABUSE. i dont think that Gomez can support the Cottos punches. NO WAY......

Gomez would give Cotto all he can handle. Imo it is a far too dangerous fight for Cotto if he wants a big money fight after. If Gomez upset him he would have a hard time rebuilding. If he looks average against Gomez like I suspect he would, other fighters are going to use that as an excuse not to fight him.

Gomez is gutsy. But he'd get his ass whipped big time. He's not even in the same class as Cotto.

I dont know with what kind of eyes you are seeing this match is a COMPETITIVE, ...... Competitive with a CHATA BOXER? CMON....

Personally i just think he's fighting a television reality star in order to raise his own profile even further in the USA.....in order for a 2009 fight with Mayweather to become a super fight where they both will earn shit loads.

Good business sense.

It could be, but with another boxer , i dont want takeoff credit of him, but Cotto is too superior ,we could see an Abuse ...the problem of Gomez is that he like get lot of punch he dont have defence and either hard punch, think in that vs Cotto.... That is why i said that this fight is not a match ..
