You guys realise... that cotto is basically cleaning out 147 right?

I agree those are great points. He has a very good resume already. But I think Arum is now backing off the chance of him fighting the margarito/ cintron winner to fight Mayorga and to me that doesn't make since. That would be going backwards. Maybe after he beats the winner of that fight he should fight mayorga.

 

Cotto has the resume of FIGHTERS.

He needs the names now...he needs the Ricardo Mayorgas, Alfonso Gomezes and if possible the Oscar De La Hoya's of the world now.

A fight with Floyd is all dependent on how popular Cotto is heading into 2009.

 

atsch Didn't think of that! Really really good point!:good

In that case his actions are admirable!

 

The fact that he has already lined up Mayorga before beating Gomez and waiting for the winner of Cintron-Margo, suggests to me that he has hand picked Mayorga. I thik his promoter sees what the rest of us see, Mayorga is an ''entertaining' slugger who is there for the taking. Gomez and Mayorga are just there to make Cotto look good.

his resume is excellent though and is getting better all the time as he victims keep coming back to win world titles.

I personally see Kermit beating Margo in the rematch, I want to see Cotto - Cintron, MSG would be rockin for that!

 

Excellent point Kirk, people don't realize just how popular Gomez is around the west coast.....I know some people who recognize his name and don't even know who Cotto is.....:shock:

Exposure is key, Money May will basically be forced to face Cotto win lose or draw.

 

Yes I believe Mayorga is a back up option in case Kermit Cintron "hurts his hand" again.

I figure Cotto-Margo will happen before a fight with Ricardo does.

 

Yeah, I came to realise that he wants to steamroll all of them outa there justlikethat and he's not changing his mind about the pathway - Quintana, Judah, Mosley, Gomez, winner of Margo-Cintron, maybe even Mayorga, Mayweather - I mean, this guy is fu**in unbelievable, what a great fighter Miguel is.

 

yeah I think Gomez is going to be a tough fight for Cotto. He is a straight puncher and the people he have given Cotto problems in the past are straight punchers. He doesn't throw big wide punches exposing him self to body shots which is what Cotto is extremely good at. He's tough, and has fairly good defense. It will be a better fight then people think.

 

Dont forget Gomez.

 

I'm calm
You bring up some important points however I think Mayorga would be a shitty pick by Arum....I think people underrate Gomez alot...some will laugh but I see it being Cotto's toughest challenge to date....After this he should go after another title
As I've stated in other threads Mayorga is pointless does nothing for Cotto...why fight a warrior whos known mainly for all the beatdowns he's been handed by great fighters?? It's just dumb and won't make nearly the money a unification would
Its a bigger step down in opposition than your implying
It certainly doesn't give him anymore credibility or confidence
Most importantly it doesn't get him any closer to PBF whereas I feel a unification would
I imagine it would be tough for PBF to avoid Cotto if he has the other 3 belts

 

well lets see if his able to beat them all at least hes facing top oposition i hope there was more guys like him willing to figth evrybody
