Cotto should drop to 147 and face winner of Bradley Marquez

Cotto says he's more comfortable at 154 and looks good there, why people insist he moves down to 147 is beyond me.

Canelo would bring in the bigger numbers and it's winnable. Martinez looked real bad in his last fight.

 

147 cotto is a dead cotto.

145 cotto is an undead cotto, and 154 cotto is an unshot cotto

 

if the money is good, he should do it.

147 is where he belongs & he's been away from welterweight long enough for him to have some very attractive options at 147.
Should he stay a free agent & be able to fight both TR & GBP fighters he can take his pick from Bradley, Marquez, Provodnikov, Alvarado, Rios, Khan, Thurman, Alexander, Broner, Berto, Guerrero, Ortiz, Soto-Karass, Maidana, Matthysse & Garcia.
The only one I'd pick to beat Cotto on that list is Marquez, I see him stopping Cotto late in a back & forth affair.

 

he can adjust his weight well enough to go between 147-154, but he is getting older and would most likely benefit from sticking to a set weight, unless he gets a megafight offer from Sergio or Floyd

 

Cotto obviously doesn't feel "right" at 147 or else he'd still be there. I'm sure he's aware of how much money there is to be made at WW so his body probably won't allow him to hit that weight and still peak on fight night. Cotto isn't a dummy.

 

he aint going back down to 147
end thread

 

he adjusted to 154, theres no going back

 

Cotto looked super good last fight out. no reason to go down to 147.

Beating Martinez for a middle weight title does WAY MORE then beating Bradley or Marquez for a belt thats not even lineal

 

cotto should face the looser of Bradley marquez although it would be to big a risk to both parties

 

cotto should stay at 154 n fight the winner of vanes/andrade

 

cotto is now just looking for big money fights.

floyd rematch
canelo
bradley-jmm winner
sergio
provo-alvarado winner
rios if he beats pac
kirkland if he beats tapia

 

He should go where the money is. His career will be ending soon so hes gota cash out. Bradley brings no money to the table, and JMM would be required to do VADA so that wouldnt be possible. I personally love fights with Martinez and Canelo. I think he can beat Martinez and the Canelo fight is 50/50.

 

Roach wants him at 147, so could see that.
