If Cotto loses by decision: What next?

Godhead · 11-30-2012, 08:11 PM

If Cotto loses to Trout by decision, which is a very likely possibility, who does he fight next?

Bogotazo · 11-30-2012, 08:13 PM

Either a rematch in which he must obliterate Trout, or retirement, most likely.

Emeritus · 11-30-2012, 08:13 PM

Didnt Canelo say he still wanted to fight him even if he loses?

Also didn't Canelo also say he is not interested in fighting Trout even if he wins?

Anyway whatever happens tomorrow people will be lining up to fight him, he is PPV star and a marquee name.

Possibily the loser of Lara/Martiosyan II. He likely won't be in a championship bout assuming this is a clear decision for Trout. He won't get a bottom tear oppoent either.
I can see him being matched with the likes of James Kirkland, Carlos Molina, Gabriel Rosado Alfredo Angulo or Keith Thurman. Each is a pototional future star who would get a boast if they were to beat Cotto, and for Cotto a young up and commer to put him back into the championship picture.

I bet he fights Canelo whether he wins or loses.

Too much money involved, not to cash out on this fight. I see the Puerto Rico vs Mexico rivalry renewing itself with these two, very soon.

if cotto losses he should retire no matter how close the fight is

JMP · 11-30-2012, 10:02 PM

Retirement. Trout isn't Mayweather or Pacquiao. Once Cotto starts to lose to guys (in fair fights minus possible plaster-usage) who aren't among the very elite pound-for-pound, he should call it quits. I'd probably be singing a different tune, though, if he hadn't taken so much punishment throughout his career.

Canelo necks!!

Hatesrats · 11-30-2012, 10:35 PM

retire or maybe Berto??? Maybe Vic?
I bet Ortiz would jump @ the opportunity.

jan_fan · 11-30-2012, 10:56 PM

What if he loses by knockout?

raichu · 11-30-2012, 11:44 PM

if he loses, he could be losing to a future star, course trout aint known yet but maybe this is his breakthrough fight.

People puting cotto in a lose-lose

If he wins, trouts a no good, if he loses his lost to a bum.
