I'm watching this forum and I see that people are talking about that Cotto can beat Mayweather or move up and fight all these different elite fighters like a Zab Judah or Margarito or someone of that nature, some even saying he deserves to be p4p.

I have no doubt in my mind that he could beat Cintron.

But the other names mentioned, even p4p.

Who did Cotto just beat?

Quintana.

Who has Quintana beat?

Julio.

Who is Julio?

I don't consider Carlos Quintana as the best opponent that Miguel has faced. I consider DeMarcus Corley still the best opponent on Cotto's list of fights. Quintana was a step down from Cotto's last fight imo.

Quintana is a guy who had a style made for someone like Cotto particularly in his weaknesses.

I said before this fight around October that Quintana was going to get beat.

Some of the things I heard was that Quintana beat a great fighter in Julio that was better then anyone that Cotto has beaten. To that I responded

"If Julio went to the body then we wouldn't be talking about Quintana. His turn away style defense exposes his ribs and Cotto may as well break them. Ask Virgil hill what happened when Roy did it to him"

And this is true, Julio attacked Quintana strickly to the head when his defense exposed his body to shots whenever one was thrown. Cotto exposed this as well and probably broke a rib or two.

I agree with everyone that Quintana boxed beautifully against Julio.

But like I said that "Quintana has a lot of promise but this is the wrong guy to find that out against. He's jumping from a Guppy to a Shark and he's still a goldfish."

And the shark(Cotto) did exactly what it was supposed to do to the Goldfish.

Like I said, Quintana HAD a lot of promise, Cotto was just the wrong guy to try to find out against.

and as far as the Julio fight, at the same time I'm asking you what did Julio do? It had a lot to do with things that Julio wasn't doing in that fight then what Quintana was. There were holes but Julio wasn't taking advantage the way a fighter like Miguel Cotto did.

I believe credit is where credit is due, but the talk of Cotto beating Mayweather or Cotto being p4p now and everything like that is going very overboard when he just only beat Quintana and dispatched of him early.

It was only Carlos Quintana.

As far as Cotto's next fight. I would like him to fight the REAL avoided guy in the division and another fellow Puerto Rico born fighter named Luis Collazo.

This is a fight where we can really see what Miguel Cotto is made out of in the 147 pound division to see if he's ready tp fight the top fighters in this division.

Let's not throw Cotto on such a high level before he's fought anyone to even show if he is capable of the levels we are trying to put him on.
