    Why have them wait?

    Winner vs Winner. Take Judah and Gomez out, Put Clottey and Cintron in.

    cotto destroying gomez is precisely why he should take it!!! it would put more fan/publicity pressure for pbf to fight cotto!!!! thousands watching youtube hilites of a huge cotto KO on gomez will make an impact!!! a big ass-kickin' opens eyes, especially the casual viewer!
    just look at miranda!!!!

    Margo is being set aside for July. Clottey and Cintron are not viable options due to the fact that Clottey is Cintron's mando. Williams is fighting in Feb. It's not a smart idea to schedule a fight with Williams in April when he's fighting in Feb. What if he loses, what if he gets injured? Not to mention it would be a unification bout between two young, undefeated fighters. A fight like that needs more than two months to promote properly.

    That mando doesn't have to happen to the end of the year.


    Cotto-Cintron

    Clottey-Margo 2

    Winner vs Winner.

    Or Cotto-Clottey

    Margo-Cintron 2

    Winner vs Winner

    Arum promotes 3 prominent WW's. He has an opportunity to have two of them have a major belt. A promoter has to satisfy all of his fighters. Why make it so only 1 has a belt when 2 can have a belt? If Cintron wants to unify, he should fight Clottey, then fight Williams. If he beats Williams, then a fight with the Margo/Cotto winner would probably be available for him.

    Margo is being set aside by Arum.

    Clottey and Cintron are not viable b/c Arum deems then not viable. Cintron's IBF mandatory is do until the end of the year. and they would give him an exception for unification if it was.

    Williams was turned down by Arum after Cintron pulled out.

    Judah rematch isnot viable why?

    Collazo has lost some fights, but i didnt think his fight with Hatton was boring at all, and Collazo and Cotto in Madison Square Garden cant do that bad,besides, i firmly believe Mosley and Collazo would school Gomez every night of the week and twice on sunday, so i wouldnt exactly call Mosely done especially knowing the fact that his fight with Cotto was very close. But i do see ur points on the Collazo losses, and the fact that im not really good at knowing whats best economically for fighters and promoters. Mosley being done? i disagree, not the same, probably.

    i'm sort of starting to understand bigfag, more people know gomez than they do cotto, if cotto destroys him then the floyd fight will be more marketable, still sucks though.

    You didn't even read my post, did you? You're response makes no sense in regards to what I wrote.

    No need to call me names. Forget Floyd, he's not a part of the equation.

    Many people will be surprised by Gomez. He has been in the ring with much bigger guys than Cotto. He beat Manfredo, who went on to being very competitive with Jeff Lacy. He went to war with Feliciano (who Cintron went life and death with).

    Gomez has fought and beat some tough dudes who were bigger and most likely heavier hitters than Cotto is.

    All I know is that I can't imagine Cotto beating a guy like Manfredo (at least not easily) if Jeff Lacy could barely squeeze by him.

    You said he has a chance to get two of his fighters titles. Perfect. Cintron is not his fighter. Match Margo up with him, Margo will most likely win. Margo gets a title.

    Cotto vs Clottey The title stays in his farm of fighters. Winner takes on the winner in unification.

    Cintron Stopped him in the 10th. How is that life or death. Harder time then expected yes but it's not like he won by spilt decsion.
