    I wanted to see Cotto vs Marquez but he will stay at 154

    Cotto just wants to one up Tito and become a champion in a 4th weightclass

    he rather give 160 a shot than go back down to 147

    Im predicting Rodriguez, Canelo, Matinez/barker and retire

    He will not get past Canelo so he will retire after that fight.

    Im not worried. Canelo isn't a tall southpaw like trout, doesn't have 1 3rd of the workrate of Pac and doesn't have bricks in his hands.

    and Cotto has outperformed Canelo 3/4 in mutual opponents

    but this is not the topic

    Did he say something about fighting at 160? That would be a mistake in my opinion.

    Well, if you're a long time fan of boxing, you'd know all the opponents Cotto has out performed. And i most definitely believe at 154...he'd out box Canelo...that's my two cents. Now, 160...i don't know about that ! !47, seems to be the better of the two.

    Cotto is shopworn and blown up, but best of luck to him. I'm thankful for all the great fights he's put on over the years.

    Cotto would get desteoyed by Canelo, all his wins at 154 have been against soft opposition, every time he's stepped up he's got beat. He should go back down to 147 or retire. He's a great fighter but he aint no Tito, Cotto gets bust up very easy & tends to feel sorry for himself, that fire is gone.

    Yeah, I'm not that smart. So you're going to have to help me out with the math. He said Cotto outperformed Canelo with 3 out of 4 foes. Well, we know Canelo did better against Trout. Canelo also did better against Mosley. So how does the math work out?

    Canelo got his We Be Chicano belt from beating a bloated Matt Hatton, then fighting on smaller guys like Alfonso Gomez and Josesito Lopez, then had a close and tough fight against his first test Austin Trout, then loses decisively to Floyd Mayweather.

    Case Closed!!! Enough Said!!! I rest my case!!!!

    It doesn't matter if 2007 Mosley was better, Cotto didn't do better against Mosley than Canelo did. Cotto's fight with Mosley was very close and competitive. Canelo won just about every round against Mosley. Now I won't argue that Cotto's win wasn't more meaningful, but Cotto did not perform better.

    Like I said, Canelo got his fake and vacant WBC belt from a 147 bloated Matthew Hatton, then went on to fight Alfonzo Gomez and Josesito Lopez and before all that got wobbled by Miguel's brother Jose Cotto then back to the future, he beats Trout in a close fight and this is his real championship belt then Floyd takes it away.

    Is that accurate? Or will Mexicans and Chicanos nuthug him and call him the greatest with great resume ROTFLMAO
