By Allan Fox: Rather than choosing to fight other top fighters like Saul Alvarez, Sergio Martinez or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former two-division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) needs to put all his efforts into getting a rematch with WBA junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s), because it’s the best option for both fighters right now.
Mayweather-Cotto
Mayweather would easily beat Cotto in a rematch
By Dan Ambrose: If WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto fights an immediate rematch with Miguel Cotto, he’ll likely completely dominate Cotto to where he won’t win one round. The reason for this is because Mayweather fought Cotto’s fight in order to give the boxing fans their money’s worth on pay per view and at the fight.
Mayweather strategy: When all else fails blame Arum
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Undefeated superstar and new WBA light middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) is fresh off of Saturday nights harder than expected win over former champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s). But “Money May” did not waste any time in verbally attacking his long time enemy Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.
Cotto has his pick of big name opponents for next fight
By Allan Fox: Despite losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last Saturday night and losing his WBA 154 pound title, Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) remains hugely popular and very much in demand by other top fighters in the game. The loss to Mayweather, as close as it was, didn’t hurt Cotto one bit, as he has no shortage of top fighters interested in taking him on.
Mayweather fortunate he was not fighting Pacquiao
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In what proved to be a far better fight than anyone thought possible, former WBA light middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) gave a very good account of himself Saturday night against undefeated superstar new WBA light middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s).
Mayweather Jr. even more popular after Cotto fight
By Chris Williams: You’d think that with the way that Floyd Mayweather Jr. struggled to beat WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto by a 12 round last weekend that Mayweather’s appeal would have slipped a couple of notches with boxing fans, but that’s not the case.
Mayweather the Gentlemen: The Fighter
By Robert “Big Moe” Elmore: I’ve followed Floyd Mayweather Jr’s career and it wasn’t until his fight against Oscar De La Hoya that he took on the bad boy image. While I’m able to distinguish between Floyd the entertainer, and Floyd the person outside the ring, others may not.
Who will Mayweather fight next?
By David Ishola: Judging by his most recent comments after beating Miguel Cotto to add the WBA Light Middleweight World title to his collection it appears that Floyd Mayweather is “80/20 in favour of retiring” after admitting the potential fights out there are “very limited” which is on the back of his comments about the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight being a non starter due to Bob Arum.
Cotto: I completely disagree with the judges
By Dan Ambrose: It seems that former WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) isn’t pleased with the scoring for his 12 round unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) last Saturday night. I don’t see what the problem is. The judges scored it 117-111, 117-111, and 118-110.
Mayweather: I wanted to leave my fans with at least one toe-to-toe performance
