What can or cannot stop this? Do you think Cotto is willing to come down to either 147 or some catchweight, or is he done with welter forever?
This fight can happen in the fall if Cotto has the *****. Nacho Beristain has indicated they'd fight Cotto at 150 lbs, I'm sure that might even be able to be extended to 152 lbs if Cotto forfeits 1 mil to Marquez. There's a problem in making this fight however. Cotto is'nt the A side and I dont think he can handle that unless it were against Mayweather or Pacquiao again. 60/40 in favor of Marquez sounds about right to me.
how could Marquez be A side He lost to Bradley then comes back with a win over Alvarado compared to Cotto beating Martinez and owning the MW title
Cotto isn't coming down to 147. I doubt he could even drain himself to 147 anymore, and Marquez isn't fighting above 147
I dont see Cotto chomping at the bit to face Trout, and I'm sure Trout would fight him tommorow! :deal
