Here is why I think it will happen. There have been rumours that Hatton has been offered the fight, but if Ricky turns it down who else is there? 1. Goldenboy need to do something big to renew there HBO deal 2. If Mayweather doesn't fight, they have no PPV star 3. Cotto is out of contract with Top Rank. You would be offering him a massive payday and a winnable fight 4. Goldenboy are looking to break the market in NYC. What bigger fight could they do than Mexico vs Puerto Rico and the return of Oscar on the Puerto Rican day in June which is always big for PPV. It make allot of sense?
**** , good idea , cottos been alot more active , has steward , but hoya ..... the fight would have to be at 154 or higher catch weight hoya would need to not have to cut weight in order to have a shot , he would be the underdog for sure
i no Oscar is american but he is mexican american so they can still sell it on that. Oscar could make 154lbs with notice. He doesnt look much more than 170lbs now. have it for Cotto WBA belt.
Arum already has Cotto's next several fights planned out and none of them include Miguel Cotto against a fighter not with Top Rank.
