He has completely lost momentum since last November. I stepped aside for Lee v Quillan Decided against a vacant IBF I would have liked him to push for Cotto when he searching for an opponent 6 months out and still nothing scheduled
Yes he has lost momentum whilst Eubank has gained with his victory over Chudinov. It seems silly and I think he would have had a great chance of getting the Cotto fight as he was looking for an easier touch than a top level fighter but he seems intent on keeping that position with the WBO, which seems rather strange to me.
BJS is quite clever , he knows his own level and does not put himself in harms way too much , have you ever heard him talk about golovkin , there is absolutely no chance he will ever get in the ring with him .
A Cotto fight would just be silly imo, he would lose and it would damage his chances of his guaranteed world title shot.
Cotto is well past his best, BJS could pull it out the bag. He would last at least 6 rounds with GGG, a moral victory.
Good financially but he will come to his first title shot with no world level experience, when he could have had at least 1 but maybe 2 title fights behind him.
I fancy him against a Cotto who is past his best and above his natural weight BJS's lack of power at top level will not show against Cotto
Ppl say Cotto is past his best but I'd still say BJS would have no chance against him Notable recent performances from Miguel include, pushing FMJ as close as he's been pushed in ten years and less tha a year ago hammering Sergio Martinez into retirement (albeit past his best) Miguel Cotto vs BJS at MSG with a packed full house of crazed Puerto Rican fans? I highly doubt he'd pull that off or comes away without a KO defeat And I'm a BJS fan
Nothing wrong with being realistic. It was funny when Eubank was saying "I know I can beat GGG" and Saunders just said, don't be silly he'd beat us both on the same night haha.
