Most logical course of action but, he does have a lot of ground to cover financially for 2 years of inactivity. Cotto should be ashamed himself if this is true.
This. Garcia should either fight a legit top fighter at 140 or move back down. Cotto is finished. He looked awful against Kamegai, who is a guy he would've easily stopped 2-3 years ago. Beating Cotto no would prove at this point.
I agree. Cotto has fought at 160lbs and has shown he can take a punch as hes gone up in weight. Hes still live enough to beat Mikey. I dont think this fight happens.
Too strong for Garcia. Cottos still got enough in the tank too probably do some damage and stop Garcia.....
So Mikey is going to fight at 154lbs? Suuurreeee...... And then he will drop down to 135lbs to fight Lomanchecko and then back up to 140lbs or 147lbs? Suuurrreee. ....that won't have a toll on his body.
Can't blame him for trying to get a piece of the Cotto Cash-In offer before it expires on December 31.
Mikey fighting Cotto is no bigger a size disparity than Pac vs. any welter. Look at Jaffrey Horn. He looked like he was a super middleweight in the ring. Mikey looked like the bigger man when he fought AIDSdrien Broner.
