    I'm a big Cotto fan but I wouldnt consider him one of the "top guys" right now. He doesnt even make the top 5 pfp list.

    What does he have to lose? This is likely his last shot at greatness and he is making more than he's ever made before. Cotto has a record of taking on anyone. So yes, it has a lot to do with the money but he is certainly coming to win regardless.

    If there are fans that think Cotto is going to win, why not the man himself? WAR COTTO!!

    Or at any other point in his career. Now that the fight is actually made, reality is starting to set in among fight fans.....

    Last of the Moh-Ricans... well maybe not the last. Duhlormes gonna be a good fighter... New improved Edwin Rosario... Hope Cotto uses the money to get out. No room in this business for big hearts like his... Sorry guys he tried the best he could, honest... We can't go with Cotto on this trip, Loaf. Rough fight, tired baby... Tired.

    No but given that Floyd is arguably #1, its expected for him to fight someone in the top 5.

    Any family man makes the right decision for his family. That doesn't mean he isn't focused on winning.
