MANILA, Philippines – Miguel Cotto is aiming to avenge his 1 of 2 career losses by fighting Antonio Margarito on December 3.
After that, the Puerto Rican will aim for a rematch with pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the man who gave Cotto his 2nd career loss.
"Cotto's going to fight Margarito, then a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, or maybe a fight with Saul Alvarez," Manny Steward,
Cotto’s trainer, told RingTV.com.
Steward said that after avenging those 2 losses, Cotto will be set to retire.
Before a rematch with Pacquiao can take place, Cotto will have to defeat Margarito, who beat him in the controversial match in 2008. It has been suspected that Margarito had used loaded hand-wraps for his bout against Cotto.
"If he knocks out Margarito and redeems himself, it would be a good fight for him to get with Pacquiao again," Steward said.
Pacquiao had defeated Cotto via a 12th round technical knockout victory in November 2009.
