Where next for Cotto?

Welcome along:good.

Two options for Cotto, IMO: Rematch with Margo or the winner of Mosley-Berto (i.e. Mosley). Cotto has said he doesn't want Margo to have a payday off of his back, but when he sees how much he can make for the rematch he might reconsider. That said, I've heard that Margo can't make 147 anymore so the fight might not materialise. Mosley has three options after he beats Berto: wait for the Pac-PBF winner and see if they want to fight him, go for a Cotto rematch or fight Williams. IMO, there are no other fights worth mentioning for Mosley than those 3. Cotto's two best options are Mosley or Margo, but others might like to see a Clottey rematch- other than that there are no other real attention grabbing fights. I see no reason why he would want to fight someone as awkward as Williams after being dismantled by Pacquiao. We shall see what happens.

 

Welcome and avoid the general forum!I think the winner of Mosley vs Berto after a good rest may happen.Its hard to know whether hes shot after the Pacman and Margarito fights,i certainly dont think too many more beatings like that will do him any good.I personally still think he has plenty to offer.

 

i would like to see him fight Margo again but their is an ethical question on weather Margo should be allowed to fight at all, let alone get a big fight. i don't think Cotto is shot and i still look forward to seeing him fight in the future

 

Cotto vs. Clottey II

 

Clottey is a world class operator but is badly managed, I had him beating Cotto last time and he could do it again.

 

Im a huge Cotto fan, but I dont think I'd like to see Cotto-Marg II.

Cotto isn't quick on his feet anymore and his speed has decreased. He throws wide arm punches and still gases in the second half of fights. His confidence/self esteem is at an all time low, his face swells up easier, he cuts easier, and his corner sucks.

 

I don't really see a benefit from fighting Margarito. He either wins against someone who's had a lengthy layoff and no doubt people will say Margarito wasn't the same, or he gets beat up again and then he's not left with a lot of options. If Margo still has the chin he'd beat Cotto again imo.

 

Isaac Hlatshwayo :yep

 

Or what about a fight against Magic Matthew Hatton? Hatton was clearly winning against N'Dou, I don't even care what Lovemore says, he was obviously winning and was robbed. He should be the welterweight champion of the world right now! I couldn't think of a more deserving opponent either. I mean OK he hasn't even come close to cleaning up the domestic scene, and he did lose to Craig Watson, but he comes across as a very pleasent chap and very respectful to his opponents.



:thumbsup

 

Matthew?

Ricky?

or Ray?

:hi:

 

I dunno, all the options suddenly seem quite tough given Cotto's recent form. I'm not talking about losses but the manner. Once he starts getting hit, after a certain point he seems to enter a state of retreat and runs around the ring. Cotto can't fight like that.
