    If he did that, he wouldn't be Cotto... but yes, I agree, I'd like to see him become more vocal about wanting Mayweather.

    In terms of the thread itself, I'm fine with watching Cotto knock Gomez out, as I think Hatton is best served at 140lbs... and should take a comebacking fight soon before trying the very elite again. Just to regain his footing.

    cotto-gomez is a waste of time, only bigfag and a few other clowns support this mismatch.

    BOYCOTT!!!!!!

    It should be a better fight, so I'd be happy. People are really underestimating Gomez though. He was really undersized on the contender, and since he dropped to 147 he has been looking sharp. IMO he is the most improved fighter in the series and has been doing well beating trailhorses like Gatti and Tacki. Hatton poses more of an offensive threat because of the style match-up, but Gomez is larger than Hatton and would trouble Cotto for a spell with his boxing skills. Cotto hasnt faced any true pure boxers. Zab Judah and Mosley are athletically gifted fighters who elect to trade at times and give up there advantages in hand and foot speed and reflexes. Gomez will stand his ground but will stick to a more jab, counter, and move game plan.

    It will be a good fight but Hatton will get a beating worst than the one with Mayweather, in 147 Hatton isn't great.

    I think There is more risk in fighting Gomez than Hatton. Hatton would just be more money and the easier fighti think. I think He should make that fight and knock Hatton out even earlier than Mayweather did just to make a statement. All the opponents Mayweather and Cotto have in common have been knocked out by Cotto and Decisioned by Mayweather. Then have Cotto say the fans have seen more action in the few rounds that fight goes than all of Mayweathers career.
    It worked for Hatton....

    Maybe because Mayweather doesnt want to!
    What dont i seen in Hatton that everyone else does!?
    There is nothing special about him in my eyes and he has been exposed several times already.

    Uhm... Cottos team wants no part of Mayweather. They stated they'd rather fight DLH then Mayweather.

    cotto went over to vegas to personally ask mayweather for a fight, mayweather announced he was retiring, all of you were saying why does cotto want floyd when he isn't even fighting.

    All of us? Really. Show me where I said that.



    Miguel Cotto’s manager/trainer, Evangelista Cotto, told El Nuevo Dia that a May 3 superfight with Oscar De La Hoya is the preferred fight for the unbeaten Puerto Rican champion.



    "Right now a fight with De la Hoya is more marketable than one with Mayweather," said Evangelista, "even though De la Hoya lost to Mayweather in his last fight and Mayweather won last night against Hatton, De La Hoya remains the most marketable....the other names that have been mentioned to fight with Miguel do not compare economically with a fight with De la Hoya."
