    Man this is sounding like a one sided fight, I personally think Margo will take this one to just because its gonna turn into a brawl and Margo can outlast Cotto in an all out war.

    I think PBF-Cotto would be a reality after Margarito-Cotto if cotto won. If PBF doesn't bite, thats already ducking

    Its obvious Cotto should just retire now because he's done all he can do in boxing....no need to fight Margo and PBF he hasn't shown the beard to hang with Margo nor has he shown the skills to hang with PBF. ESB at its best.

    I don't see PBF passing up the same amount of money against a guy in his prime and will bring more prestige than a rematch w/ DLH ... a fight he easily won.

    If Cotto beats Gomez (early and easy fashion with 6 rds) then fights Margarito around August and gets rid of him, then that sets up an end of the year or begining of 09' super fight against PBF.

    I think its possible for Cotto to fight 3 times this year.

    Do you feel Cotto can box with PBF? I don't think he can. Who has he fought in their prime that could beat PBF? AND don't act like Cotto hasn't been ROCKED before. I believe it was chop chop that had him on ***** street looking for dollars.

    I think if Cotto built his way up to PBF and just happened to lose then you retire.

    A great run and a good career ... but that won't happen because Cotto is a warrior and will continue fighting.

    Hey Floyd - there's another 20 million over here - you want some?

    If Floyd turns down $20 million to fight Cotto - then I will lose respect for him them. But there's no way he'll turn that down. After the DLH fight - we'll get what we want - Cotto/Mayweather.

    bottom line is Cotto needs to take out Margo before deserving a shot with Floyd. Cotto needs to wipe out the welterweight division not Floyd. If Cotto does beat Margo I belive he has a better chance with PBF

    Don't forget about Torres, N'dou, Mosley, and Judah who all had Cotto hurt at some point in time during their fight.

    His chin hasn't stood up but his recovery is amazing ...

    I think those guys had set backs during their fights with Cotto, either it was too late into the fight and Cotto was in boxer mode (Mosley & N'dou), they tired themselves out (Torres) or Cotto hit him w/ low blows to throw off his attack (Judah) ...
