Miguel Cotto

It would be interesting to have these two put in a ring together, since a lot of people are wondering if Floyd Mayweather is a better fit for Miguel Cotto this year.
Cotto, who is currently the lineal Middleweight champion, would be a tough fight for Lemieux.
What’s fun about this matchup, though, is that Cotto has a tendency to make fights last a little longer. Lemieux is beginning to build some recognition for maintaining stamina, so it would be nice to see him put it to the test against the Puerto Rican.
Cotto owes half of his losses to Floyd Mayweather and Austin Trout in a recent losing streak, and is working his positive stride back. If a Mayweather rematch doesn’t occur in 2015, Cotto could be quick to schedule a date with David to keep his consecutive win record going, which in turn gives Lemieux an opportunity for a career-defining upset.
