    There's been about a hundred threads with people asking who Michael Jennings is in the last 2 months. If you've not learnt by now you're not going to or just just don't want to .He's the guy in my avator and will give the fight everything he's got.

    Is he good enough to be in the same ring as Cotto?

    Jennings is justa easy comeback fight.

    But if I was to pick just one fight from the lkist to watch it would be Cotto - Berto.

    Depends on how you view it. He will almost certainly get beat, it would be a shock to beat Honeyghans win over Curry if he does it but on the other hand he has a good record and is the Number 1 contender so yes i'd say he is. Its gonna be a long night for Michael but you can bet he will go into that ring thinking he can win and he's fully aware of how big a chance this is to showcase his talent.

    Unless Cotto is seriously mentally and/or physically damaged goods, he should get by Jennings relatively easy imo. Either way I think it's good to see they picked an opponent who will give it his all and actually try to win the fight and not some overrated cream puff who is just happy to be on T.V. and collect a nice paycheck.

    BTW I picked Clottey as I think he has the style to give Cotto absolute fits.

    Would like to see Cotto batter Berto, who I think is grossly overrated by many on ESB.

    Clottey would be a decent fight, but I think Clottey's workrate (or lack thereof) would see him lose a decision.

    Cintron would be a good gauge for Cotto though, and I've voted for him. He can bang, but Cotto's superior boxing skills and body attack would make for an interesting clash of styles. I'd go for Cotto by stoppage within five (I'd say Cotto hits harder than Margo and Cintron would be wary of getting hit, N'Dou isn't exactly a big puncher is he?)

    I'd have to go with Cintron. I get a sick pleasure seeing this guy getting destroyed and humiliated.

    Cotto vs Berto would be good - to see another hypejob (after Pavlik) lose his 0 in recent months.

    I dunno, i quite like Berto, I think its easy to tarnish all these young Americans with the same brush. Berto has a good repetiore of shots, seems to be heavy handed and quite quick. If he can carry his power into true world class is yet to be seen.

    Im gona give him the benefit of the doubt, til I see more, id expect Cotto to beat him.

    Clottey would be the biggest challenge. He'd make Cotto look ordinary

    Clottey.

    Anyone is available to fight for a vacant World Title...however Cotto picking up that belt makes it less valuable than it already was.
    He has not avenged his loss, or moved passed it. He has yet to establish himself again in the division. Beating the #40 ranked Welter does little but assure that the WBO welter title has it's place at the bottom.
