I think (and hope) that Arum makes Miguel Cotto VS. Joshua Clottey in the eve of the Puertorican Day Parade. I think it's a great fight and a win-win scenario for the boxing world. Two of the best (and 2 of my favorite) welterweights unifying their titles at the MSG. We have a guy in Joshua that will test Cotto's will and boxing ability for a full 12 rounds, and in Cotto a fighter that will give Clottey fits with his own strength, speed and punching power. If Cotto wins we can finally say "He's really back", and if Clottey wins he'll finally get the respect he's been looking for and would be the only semi-unified champ in one of the hottest divisions in boxing right now. Who would you like to see Miguel face on June, vote and state why. :bbb
I like the Mosely fight 2, but Shane isn't fighting Cotto again in New York, and Cotto's next fight is going to follow the tradition of fighting in the MSG on the eve of the Puertorican Day Parade. So in my perfect world, should Cotto get passed his test this June he should either fight Shane or the winner of Hatton/Pacquiao.
Collazo - Cotto would be an intersting fight. Smart boxer Collazo, and would be sure to take Cotto into the later rounds, where there are still question marks about the Puerto Ricans endurance. Still, Cotto would be a big favourite .
Clottey or Mosley. Clottey would show his reuturn to confidence. Mosley would show that he's the man to beat.
Mosley, of course. Regardlss of the complications, Mosley is currently the #1 in the 147lb division. Cotto has already beaten him in a close, good fight. I'm unsure as to why anyone would want to see anything else?
Clottey vs. Cotto is the one I would want to see the most. However, Cotto vs. Cintron is probably going to happen instead.
I say Collazo. Collazo is a fellow rican and is a New York native so them two fighting in the Garden the day before the PR Day Parade would be huge in the city. Also Collazo is tough as nails and would make for a great fight. But is also isnt that big of a step up for Cotto like Mosley or Clottey would be. I say give Cotto atleast one more "easy" fight before throwing him in with the big boys.
Don't think it would be easy but yeah, 2 fighters massive in New York at the Garden would be fantastic. Collazo deserves another stab at a title after missing out twice controversially.
I didn't mean easy like Jennings easy I meant easy as compared to a fight with Mosley, Clottey or Margarito. Mostly for the fact that Collazo doesn't hit all that hard.
