Lemieux knows he's got a Cotto fight in the bag, so he's gonna chill until then
I would be very surprised if cotto fought lemieux, I see the cotto signing as a guarantee rematch to canelo.

I can't see Cotto fighting Lemiuex. Too big.
the thing is, cotto has been begging for that canelo rematch for a while. but canelo keeps brushing him off. probably because he acted like a diva throughout negotiations. I think cotto knows if he does get a canelo rematch it's gonna have to be at 160 and he's gonna have to beat a live body there first. lemiuex is the best option. especially considering lemiuex is probably next in line for canelo after little g. cotto beat lemiuex, he's gonna put himself in great position to fight canelo again. cotto wants one more huge payday before he hangs it up and canelo is the only guy who can really give it to him. lemiuex is a VERY winnable fight for cotto. his jab and movement would be too much for david who's a one trick pony.

Cotto could try to make it a catchweight :sas1:
Doesn't Lemiuex have a hell of a time making 160 to begin with?

Why tf is Cotto bothering us with this bullshyt in 2017. What's the end game? Re-match w Canelo? :scusthov:

That's the only end game that makes sense.

I'd have to see Cotto first though, he gonna be 2yrs of inactivity+ when he fights next. Lemieux, while being above average at best, could catch a rusty old af Cotto.
