This is a good fight. Once paulie destroys old man mosely we want a big fight. Cotto can still make 147 and is strong at that weight. Malignaggi won't have hand problems this time. And if malignaggi takes out cotto, we want mayweather. :deal
I know JMM's a good fighter, but I'm not sure about this. Paulie is in no level of a fighter as Pac, but styles makes fights I think JMM loses to Paulie (counter-puncher vs boxer?)
He did already. He beat Pac for the WBO 147 title. Paulie could barely get by a blown up JWW so what makes anyone think he can beat Cotto?
as much as i hate to say it i think malignaggi could outpoint cotto if they meet again, cotto may never be the same again, by far the worst cotto iv seen in the trout fight, hes had to many wars
He didn't put a spectacular performance against Cano who was hungry and got robbed. I don't see why he would fight a retired fighter in Shane who may be coming back for one last hurrah.
How long will take Cotto to SAFELY without becoming weight drained to make 147lb? Ill say, he will have to drop to like 145, float around there for like 4-6 weeks build stamina, get used to that weight, work his way up to ~150 10 weeks out and drop the 3-4lb in those 10 weeks before the fight. So, Ill say 5-6 months. He "may" be able to do so by May 2013. Or drop to 150 and fight Pac on a "money" fight.
