After bringing the fight to Floyd Mayweather on Saturday, May 5, Miguel Cotto looks to avenge the tough loss by making his next fight count with a huge win.
The key will be finding the right opponent to square off with Junito. While the obvious rematch with Mayweather would be the No. 1 match fans want to see, there are other stars that would love to fight the tough brawler.
All of the following warriors would be great battles, but it will be hard to get the stars to align to get any and all of these bouts to work. Let’s just hope Cotto gets another chance to prove his worth.
No. 1: Floyd Mayweather
While Mayweather has a busy few months locked in jail, the rematch between Miguel Cotto could be something the fans are very interested in seeing.
If nothing comes to fruition with Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather will look to get the biggest bang for his buck, and that will be riding the momentum from the previous Cotto fight.
Cotto has proven that his strategy could work if executed just a bit crisper over the course of 12 rounds. Given the extra training time, it's something both men should consider.
No. 2: Canelo Alvarez
After a big win over veteran fighter Shane Mosley, Saul Alvarez will look to make his mark against a bigger name—what better way than fighting Miguel Cotto?
While Cotto would have the clear advantage in the fight, it could be the kind of battle that turns a young fighter like Alvarez into the next great star. Cotto is ready to fight, and this could be an absolute war.
There was talk that Alvarez could be next for Mayweather, but taking that risk this early in his career is not the smart move. As great as the opportunity is, look at what it did for Victor Ortiz.
No. 3: Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto II Winner
In what should be an absolute war, if the winner of this match doesn’t fight Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, the next best bet is Miguel Cotto. That would be an absolute war.
Both Ortiz and Berto are punchers, which will make their bout amazing, and a potential bout with Cotto would be something to really look forward to.
I think Ortiz will go on to beat Berto and take on the older Cotto in what could be a No. 1 contender bout for Mayweather. Either way, Cotto has serious momentum and will ride it into his next fight.
