    Tells me he's not serious about aggressively pursuing a match with Mayweather.

    If he was, he would have been screaming for ODH or some other big name opponent. Gomez does nothing to help line up a later fight with Mayweather in my opinion, and if anything, delays the fight all-together.

    At best, Cotto gets an easy win, some rest, but it does nothing to raise his mainstream popularity which is what he needs to do to get a fight with Mayweather. Saying he "wants to fight Mayweather" everytime there is a tape-recorder or camera in his face would help too... but he doesn't.

    Cotto will slowly destroy him! I am a fan of the contender series but when these guys get thrown in with the big boys (they may generate money) it's a mis-match. It's gonna be another Calzaghe v Manfredo Jr or Miranda v Banks imo.
