If Cotto loses, Arum might open a vein.
Disagree.

Would he like Cotto to win? For sure, but Cotto will always be a draw based on his style and his nationality. If Tony wins, then he has 2 very marketable fighters instead of 1. I don't think he'll be opening any veins in the near future. Cotto will sell out MSG regardless.

Dont be silly Arum would def pop a vein. Cotto is an undefeated fighter, he may be a draw but hes still no trinidad(in terms of draw not fighting skill), he needs a bit more build up and if he loses to margarito I think the chance of seeing cotto DLH or Mayweather would dissapear, that alone would make arum burst a bubble. Promoters may love the sport but thats not what theyre in it for, its a business and Arums not gonna step on his own toes.

With Arum involved, there is no possibility of Cotto/Mayweather.

My penis is suffering from rigor mortis after I heard about this.

Anyway, we all know Tony is a tough son of a bitch with a killer work rate, but I have never seen anyone consistently work his body. Cotto could do that and I would like to see the effects. I am kind of undecided as to who the victor would be, but I am rooting for my boy Margarito. Half ya fuckers thought Cintron was going to kill him. Silly fuckers...

Lol to you kk, your humbleness always shines through.

Cotto in under 7
I don't think confidence in a World Class Fighter's ability has anything to do with humbleness or lack thereof.

If my opinion is your prediction is ridiculous, I certainly won't hide that...I don't honestly see a need to.

If I'm proven wrong, then in eating crow (which I've done before quite a few times) will my humbleness indeed shine through.

whereas Cotto has been in with bangers his entire career.
I wouldn't say his whole career. After the Torres scare I didn't see him in with many 1-punch killers until what, Zab?

What, a span of four or five fights? Judah, Bailey, Sosa, Mosley, Torres, Abdullaev, Pinto and Maussa. That will stand up with anyone.
