    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.

    I didn't know Mayweather vs Cotto meant so much to you.

    Stop thinking about floyd 24/7. The OP is talking about Marquez.

    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

    Marquez are 154? I love Marquez. But if he goes up to 154, he needs some serious drug testing.

    He can't make 147 anymore. Why in the hell would he fight Marquez?

    I dont see Cotto chomping at the bit to face Trout, and I'm sure Trout would fight him tommorow! :deal
