LOL @ the MW champ fighting at 147...

Cotto ain't taking no fight south of 155 so that automatically eliminates the catchweight fighter of the decade aka Pacquiao...

The only question is will Floyd take the fight north of 155...I think he'd do it for the MW strap...
I wouldn't expect Cotto to fight at 147, but everyone knows he is a 154 guy naturally. He fought Floyd at 154, so he could easily do that.
Pac probably would want a catch weight...but the bigger obstacle is Roach, both guys are A sides and with Cotto being hot and Pacquiao being his most loyal, dude wouldn't match them up.

Better lineup another Trainer of the Year award for Freddie Roach. He helped bring back the left hook to the body, and Cotto has looked like a monster since they've hooked up.

Now, listen for this: you think Cotto is ready for another shot at Floyd? :ohhh:

His options are unreal. He and Floyd could get together and do 1+ milly buys easy.
Canelo would gain extra momentum being ODH and TR working together again and both have loyal fan bases. I bet that does a solid 1+ milly as well.
GGG is there and the most dangerous at 160...but with Cotto being more natural at 154, he has no immediate reason to fight him and would only have to consider him if he going to campaign there for several fights.
I think Floyd should be at the top of Cotto and Roach's list, but only for the MW title. In the meantime, Cotto should work on adding a couple of pounds because he doesn't NEED to fight 154 and can lure any 154 lb fighter up to MW territory to fight him. He could conceivably defend his MW belt a couple of times before even thinking about fighting GGG.

nikkka u thought i was crazy talking that cotto shyt about a month and a half back. just wanted to bring it back. no beef.

but fuk that ham and cheese inhalin fakkit mook.
What's crazier is that Cottos best wins are against fighters who were broken coming into the ring. Margarito with his last minute Dr approval and Martinez getting approved for a non metal knee brace.

They already asked for a catchweight at 150 and Cotto told them...:camby:

Pacquiao is not an option...

As far as Floyd is concerned, Cotto now has leverage so he will probably want the fight north of 154 for the strap...
