    Cotto beat the hell out of Judah. Right now, he's building towards a Margo/Cotto match in July. Margo needs a good win, beating Golden Johnson isn't going to get it done. Why the hell would he put Judah in there with Cotto again, when he can build up Margo by feeding Judah to him?

    B/c more people want to see Judah vs. Cotto 2 rather then the very average Gomez.

    Do you work for Arum? B/c you seem in favor of his agenda.

    Under your proposel, no more than 1 Top Rank fighter will have a belt come July. Here's a better idea. Cotto-Gomez, Margo-Judah. Winners fight each other in July. Clottey-Cintron, winner takes on Paul Williams in July. One big super card; Clottey/Cintron vs. Paul Williams on the undercard, Cotto/Margo in the main event.

    Eh. I dont agree with it. You can still do that without fighting Gomez.

    Game recognizes game. Arum is a smart man, I respect that. Cotto/Maro has the potential to be bigger than Cotto/Judah 2. Cotto/Margo is the fight Arum really wants. Cotto/Gomez and Margo/Judah are the neccesary preludes to make Cotto/Margo a PPV success. Why does no one get this concept? It's not rocket science.

    Bob Arum. You know, the owner of Top Rank, the guy who promotes Cotto, Margo, and Clottey.

    Did you watch the fight? Cintron struggled the whole time. He stopped him (well the ref stopped him actually), but he still went life and death.

    I see why it is in Bob's best intrest but for a person like myself who buys a $50 PPV every month and spends like 300 a year on HBO and Showtime, I could give a **** about what makes his pockets fatter and I want to see the best fights possible. And no matter how you spin it Cotto - Gomez is a waste of time.

    So forget about Cotto being unifed and fans seeing a competitive explosive match up between Cotto & Cintron. you care more about Arum obligations to Margo & Clottey?

    Yes and the ref stopped after he was taking countless hard head shots.

    Cotto/Gomez will be a competitive, explosive match. More people will interested in seeing that than Cintron/Cotto. I don't know why people are pole jocking Cintron so much. The guy has beat a bunch of bums. He lacks heart, and tends to fold under pressure. All he has is his wortlhess trinket that Floyd threw away

    I'm about what's viable. I live in the real world. In the real world, Arum is Cotto's promoter. This of course plays a major part as to whom Cotto fights.
