Comments Thread For: Cotto Coming Back To MSG, Tourney Idea Rejected

[jazluvr]

nah, cotto shouldnt decide whether canelo goes in the tourney, thats silly. cotto doesnt need a tourney, he makes plenty of cash, #3 paind fighter in the sport, he can get any fight he wants and he has options. it makes no sense for him to fight in a tourney when he can get canelo outside of one anyways. the tourney idea is not for him. its for the up and coming guys in the division, the ones who need exposure, experience or both, like lara and canelo. cotto needs neither.

^^Couldn't have said it any better myself.

On phagtastics earlier post:

Years of great fights marred by a plaster scandel...only a phag like you would be proud.

And how is 4th of july relevant to cotto not boxing in a jmw tournament?

[lefthook2daliva]

I hope not. Fighting that guy at 156 is a joke. Either go up to 160 or stay at 154.

^^^ This.

Also, would love to see Cotto in a tourney with the winner to fight Floyd.

Floyd beat MC fair and square and it's right (imo) that Cotto should do something to earn a rematch if he wants one.

My position for the record as of this date:

Miguel Cotto beats everybody in a round robin and loses to PBF again by decision.

Having said all that, it's my opinion that Cotto has a pretty low % of bs to righteousness throughout his career and if he doesn't fight in a tourney or is a little more selective in his choice of opponents now that he is closer to the end of his career than to the beginning (not to mention in his peak earning years) that doesn't mean I'm not gonna' watch or root for him.

Really don't like the idea of a cw to get a 160lb trinket, though...

That would be about the most BS thing he's done in a great career and I would be a bit disappointed, tbh.

Cotto is such a diva! What a duck!
