    Cotto deserves every lucrative option that comes his way he's boxing/fighting personified.....the drama, the glory, the heartache, the pain, the struggles, the commitment. Nuff said

    Ture boxing enthusiast understand this and will always support him .....others....well cotto might not be their cup of tea and I respect that it's creates much needed diversity.

    Trout should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Cotto. **** fight. Trout sucks.

    He beats Pac at 150+, K9, and Trout. He might box circles around Canelo, or lose a close fight, depending upon his stamina and Canelo's ability to adjust.

    Bradley + Alverez

    Perhaps Pac if he has declined enough. It would be a good indicator of how much Pac has actually declined.(I think he has declined a fair bit since their 2009 fight)

    Mayweather is a repeat of Mays fight.

    So you admit to banging a dude in jail but wonder why you get called a homo?

    It's not talking **** if it's true.

    Jesus ****ing Christ.

    Answer this HONESTLY. What does me being a fan of Vargas have to do with the ******s on here bashing Miguel Cotto?

    If you can answer that with anything logical, then I will shut up.

    BUT since I know you won't I will say this. Vargas was EXCITING AS **** in his prime, even if it was short, so if you are gonna use the fact I liked him around a decade ago to discredit me, well, it just proves you are a **** ****.

    Back to the topic. Miguel Cotto is a ****ing awesome fighter, and the fact people here **** on him despite his brilliant career makes me crazy, hence the lashing out and calling ESB morons ******s.

    I would consider him one. He beat Manny, even if he didn't deserve the decision. It's a default thing.

    Cotto sure is in a great spot right now. Doesnt really have a lot to lose has had a great carreer and definitely deserves the fights. Everybody wants to fight him. I would like to see him fight Floyd again or Canelo..

    I just dont think a figh against Paquiao the catchweight king should happen below 154.. Paquiao likes to drain opponnets and thats bull****

    I think Cotto should give K9 his payday, take that belt, and use it for leverage in another big fight.

    I can totally sympathize with you on this, very few members of this sight can put together a well balanced concept of what a fighter should be. Most dudes are fickle and sensitive others are just unable to view a fight or fighter objectively. It is what it is....

    Bradley will clearly outbox Cotto...He doesn't want that fight. He's just cashing out on his career, so might as well take the Pac fight.

    Interesting take i think Tim's athletic ability would trouble cotto but hes nowhere near the technician. I don't agree...I think cotto thrashes Tim.

    Cotto should take a fight he has a chance of winning. Mayweather and Pac rematches are big paydays but will shorten his career and take away his status as a sought after opponenet coming off 2 straight losses. He should try for Canelo, big money fight and one that if he doesn't win he'll at least look good in. Bundrage would be a good option too, easy win and he'll end up with a belt to bring to the table vs Canelo next year. Mayweather and Pac rematches will still be there late next year, no need to take an L and lose his shot at big paydays and belts vs others that are actually in his division.
