Manny won't be fighting Marquez
again as it is a major risk and a body taxing fight, which if he plans
on Mayweather after he will need to be at his best. A rematch with
Cotto is likely (now he is free from Top Rank if he chooses so), maybe a
Bradley, and a fight many boxing fans would like is Canelo (but I feel
it is to early for him and he needs more experience, but the money he
can earn it would be hard to refuse; also, besides for Mexico and avid
boxing fans, Canelo has no draw for a mega-fight). Cotto with the name
and his Margarito victory, also being more defensive and a bigger
fighter now, this match-up would sell the most and also likely be the
most suitable.
It is basically in line with all the other members posts. It was a topic bound to come up, and I am pretty sure my post was on the day of sentencing or a day or before. Besides that, my point was I didn't see the fight happening despite the May 5th HYPE. I brought up 3 real fighters, and the safest and best selling would be Cotto. Canelo will only have real boxing fans watch as the average person would have no idea who he is, and Bradley although a much better and harder fight for Pacquiao would not generate the 50% the PPV as Cotto would. Cotto adding size and learning defense tactics is a plus for him, but it's not like he's fighting slow sloppy MargaCheeto. Speed will be the difference, and Manny has that inside burst Cotto will absorb or roll out and lose the round.
