Who Would You Like To See Cotto Fight Next?

Top Rank hasn't been doing their best work lately - which is why they brought in Jennings. They're taking no chances with this one. Here, look how Cotto describes Jennings: "He’s a defensive fighter with a (unintelligible) style. And he’s a guy like (Urkal), like (Branco), that kind of fighter."

That doesn't sound good to me as a tactically minded fan. It doesn't matter how this or that Jennings is; if he's a defensive fighter he has very little chance of beating Cotto. Top Rank knows the score. Clearly.

 

Agreed, but Cotto may want to fight Mosley if he wants that opportunity. Mosley has been slotted as Pacquiao's next possible opponent if Manny gets past Ricky according to Freddie Roach. If Cotto wants the winner of that fight he would be best served to try to get there going through Mosley. That might be the only chance of it happening.

 

Well, yeah. I give anyone a chance against anyone, always.

 

Benny made a reference to Vargas/Rivera as well - it's a good reference.

Jennings does indeed have a chance - a chance that will be much greater is he's reasonably durable and is willing to take the fight to Cotto from the opening bell onward. Thanks to our friends in the UK, none of us have seen Jennings because nobody uploaded any of his fights - so we're in the dark. Underestimated? Nah. A totally unknown quantity? Yes.

Cotto/Berto could be extremely entertaining, I've had the same thought.

You're on the ball.

 

True, agreed. Team Pacquiao is on the Mount Olympus march right now though. They just want the hottest most dangerous guys at the top with the most thermite. They wanted Margarito - Mosley took that spot. If Cotto wants in; he'll have to take it from Mosley based on the word of Freddie Roach.

Right with you. Any of those fights work for me. :thumbsup
