    He might fight anyone, but Bob Arum will not let him near Paul Williams. Believe that ****.

    I think he's faded a little but it's overrexagerrated. He fought 3 very tough fighters, who stylistically gave him a lot of trouble. Cotto has problems when he can't hurt his opponent and they can hurt him. He should stay at welter and fight Berto, Margo or Mosley, then maybe get the winner of Pacquiao - Mayweather. I don't know why he's moving up in weight.

    I always thought he should of fought Mosley again after Mosley beat Margarito, instead of Paq. It was a fight deserving a rematch and it was a great first fight. He would of probably won and got his title back and it would of elevated him to being the best welter again. But for him to take on Mosley, Margarito, Clottey, and then finally Paq. One has to really respect that. So he went two for two, if you discount that Margarito probably ahd illegal hand wraps, Cotto probably would of won a decision. If fighting these 4 fighters does not make Cotto an elite fighter I don't know what does. His chin is not taht made. Paq. just hit him at weird angles which he could not see the punches coming anyone would of went down from that uppercut he received. All he needs to do is stop leaning over (which makes him hittable w/uppercuts) and he needs to throw around 25-30 jabs a round, and go back to hitting the body like he used to. He is a smart enough fighter to defeat most guys out there. I think he beats Mosley in a rematch, he beats Berto, I'd like to see him fight Bradley at 147 that is unlikely but it would be interesting. A fight w/Angulo woudl be a war, but I think Cotto would outbox him. He would Ko Cintron or Cintron would quit early. But I do not think he should fight Margarito again. Margarito does not deserve to make a dime off of Cotto.

    I think Cotto still has it, he hasn't show me any fight were he hasn't given it is all. All the heart in the world can't beat a fighter as good as pac. I think he can be the man at 154, just needs to get a solid win against yuri and he's back in.

    I think he is a bit too small to be at jrmiddle. He belongs at welterweight. Hopefully he beats Foreman and moves back down to welter where he belongs and where his power is still very dangerous to most welterweights
