Miguel Cotto sells BIGTIME in NYC. I don't know if Alvarez or Chavez Jr.. would go for this, but do you have any idea BIG a Miguel Cotto vs Alvarez or Chavez Jr. in NYC / MSG on Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend of 2012...WOW! And you could have a Mexico vs Puerto Rico PPV card: Juanma vs Salido II Arce vs Vazquez II More than likely it would be Chavez jr (being a TR fighter). But it would still be a huge fight.
All the restaurants would shut down from the mexicans calling out. I guess a few call centers would miss a couple of puerto ricans, lol. :hat
Do you think Chavez would actually take a fight in NYC knowing that Cotto is 8-0 there with a dubious decision win over Clottey? I don't.
Pacquiao will probably be fighting Marquez in June. So a Cotto/Chavez Jr. fight would probably take place in July
I agree it will be a tough sell...but please do not use Clottey as your example. Chavez carries a MUCH BIGGER name than .....I forgot his name already
I hate the fight but it makes sense for top rank. If cotto beats Chavez then cotto /pac 2 gets made for pac's 9th division title.
don't remind me. Remember how all those Pacquiao fans were SCREAMING for Floyd to "step-up" and fight Pacquiao. Now they are creating ton of threads and post begging Floyd to fight SOMEONE ELSE....ANYONE ELSE PLEASE:|. They wont admit it, but I think they see the light:bbb. Anyway, let's stay on topic...Chavez vs Cotto in NYC would be BEYOND HUGE. I think I would have to jump on a fight and make my way to NYC.
No thanks. Cotto has no buisness fighting a guy as big as Jr, especially when his opponent wouldnt even be able to make 154.
I'd rather see Canelo also, but with Chavez being a TR fighter, I just thought it would be much easier for Punk ass Arum
Alvarez or Chavez would beat Cotto..................but it would be good fight while it lasts................ Vitali and Vlad beats all fighters living today.................
