    Does Clottey deserve an immediate rematch against Cotto? If not why? If you think that it would get in the way of a Pac/Cotto fight than do you also think Hoya shouldn't have rematched Quartey cuz it would have got in the way of Hoya/Trinidad? Explain your thoughts.

    It was for the WBO, wasn't it? The vacant one he fought Jennings for?

    He's deserving of the rematch yes, but not at the expense of a super fight that the sport can always use.

    You should vote for the Pac option then.

    A rematch yes. Immediate? No.

    Fighters are allowed to chose opponents for the next fight after making a mandatory defense.

    No, he got his chance and lost. Cotto vs Pacquiao is the right move next.

    Cotto's WBO title was on the line. Clottey's IBF title should have been on the line too but he dropped it to make this fight happen.

    I felt Clottey won the Cotto fight and deserves a rematch, But to be honest I don't want to see it because I rather see the Paq fight. If Cotto and Clottey ever do fight again I wouldn't be suprised to see Cotto do much better in the rematch without the cut. I felt the cut affected the fight.

    Nope, this wasn't a robbery. He lost a close decision and paid for his periods of laziness.

    Yes, but we never got the Mosley rematch.
    If Cotto busts Pac's ass, as is very possible, then his legacy might be tainted by the rematches he did not give in his proper division.

    Pac/Margo 2?
    I'm guessing most people would want Mayweather/Cotto than Margo/Cotto 2.

    2 already voted for an immediate rematch? :twisted: Disgraceful. How can you call yourself a fan of boxing when you are trying to block a megafight like Cotto vs Pac? I think Clottey's own mom and pops would rather see Cotto vs Pac.
