    WTF! Cotto is one of my favorite fighter but if reports are true that Canelo conceeded the pay, he is being a diva like Floyd. I assume that flom0s have new found respect with this diva cotto.

    Unlike your Hero Cotto actually has control over his career.

    Why should he? It's officially do not sign contract holiday; disrespectful to sign contract.

    "I don't understand what is happening. I already granted Miguel Cotto a lot of what they were asking to make this fight happen. It's been more than a month and he has not decided to sign the contract."

    "I am young and obviously don't remember many fights of the past, but I understand that no Puerto Rican has ever ducked a Mexican, or a Mexican a Puerto Rican. This is a classic fight and what the fans want to see."

    "I already talked to my promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, and he confirmed to me that I will fight on May 2, 2015 and Miguel Cotto is the opponent that tops the list. Thank God I have several options, but I believe and I think the fans of the world, especially in Puerto Rico, want me to face someone as big as he [Cotto]."

    "Cotto has to decide already, but do not waste any more time. If not, he will go down in history as one who ducked a fighter who defeated his own brother because you are sure he can beat you too. I leave the task to him because I already did mine. I hope his decision does not hurt the sport of boxing in his country and the fans who demand this fight."

    Why not if you're mayweather as a back up plan to pac, rematch a guy fans think gave you a tough fight before, fight a guy that some think has resurrected his career after beating a guy that was cripple for half a year and boost your legacy with an additional division world championship (even though I believe its a paper belt atm)? For Cotto, why not maximize your profit by fighting Mayweather. Canelo needs to hold his horses. He's clearly not in control here. Thought he conceded that he was the B-side...?

    Canelo should ALSO be calling out the other MW titlists as well knowing he'll never make 154 again.

    No sense in believing he'll get Manny to agree to come up to 158.:patsch

    They are waiting for Floyd. Nothing that they can do. Now there is GGG. I am sure that he would accommodate either one.

    Yes. Well if Floyd Pac happens in May, Cotto-Canelo won't be able to fight then (especially if HBO do a double broadcast with Showtime).

    I think Cotto finally realize he beat a handicap fighter and has nothing against a young fighter anymore.

    Canelo turned Jose cotto into a bobble head and Miguel doesn't want to avenge him :-(

    Jose's ashamed of his little brother
