    Nothing wrong with this fight. Cotto's fought 4 times the past 12 months. Show me another top level fighter that active.

    Well, it's Cotto. Since he's a star HBO will show all of his fights, even if it's with the Pizza Delivery Boy who Miguel short changed a 1 dollar on his delivery. If HBO can't arrange a better fight for that date then I wouldn't mind seeing it go through I suppose

    There is no excuse for this fight and I blame Arum and HBO, Top rank have Clottey and Margarito as well, one of them would have been great and the money would have been there.

    The difference is that another fight with ODL does nothing for PBF career. Yet a fight with eiher ODL or PBF does enhance Cotto's marketability and career. Since Floyd was suposedly not fighting in 2008, the ovious choice for Cotto was ODL. Stop trying to spin it in to support your argument.

    Why the **** didn't Cotto fight Williams?

    Unification against fringe contender Cintron?

    A rematch with Mosley would have also been good idea, coz many think Mosley beat him the first time.

    Let's see Willimiams was signed to fight Quintana, Cintron would have been a good choice but I think that Clottey had some obejections to this fight happening since he is the madatory.

    Honestly I think that we saw Mosley's last valiant effort of his career and could not have done any better in the rematch.
