Oh great. Cotto, the most overrated boxer in Boxing's history gets to lose another big fight and i'm going to probably have to pay money to see it...again. I understand the Puerto Rican fans love their boxing and they treat their fighters like gold but enough with this Cotto garbage. The guys lost every big fight he's ever been in save a 40 year old guy with bad knees that he was just lucky enough to get the fight signed.

Was i the only one that noticed how shot Cotto was against Canelo? What were you people watching? I clearly saw a guy that had zero power in either hand, pushing his punches. All that he had that night was a slap jab that he tried to win with. Pathetic. He's done. Put a fork in him...move on to dessert.

I really hope they make Brook Cotto. That would be nothing short of spectacular.

Good fight if it gets made, but then Brooks name always seems to get mentioned in discussions about good fights, none of which ever seem to materialize.
I have sometimes wondered that about Kell Brook too because he is a very stocky and muscular Welterweight when you watch him.

Brook is definitely the bigger man, physically.

And, no, Cotto is not the most overrated boxer in history.

Great match-up! Brook has mentioned moving up before if he couldn't get Khan to fight him, so doubt if he would have any problem fighting anywhere in-between 147 and 154. It would be a huge win for Brook if he gets it, but a pretty even fight I think.
