    its obvious floyd wont fight him until cotto is a bigger draw, who can cotto fight to attract the casual fans?

    de la hoya would have been a good pick but he is taken.

    Cotto would need DLH for that HUGE draw.


    But Cottos team wants DLH for the money. PBF beat them to the money.

    thats the bull**** about this, Cotto was absolutely screwed right now with a garbage opponent like Gomez. Its crazy Oscar just used Cotto's name for leverage to get Floyd to hurry up and sign for a Rematch. They're both ***s while Cotto waits all alone.

    De La Hoya would be the number one choice, but since he's booked for the year, his best option would be to go with another top welterweight (Margarito perhaps).

    I don't think Cotto is begging for a fight with Floyd to be honest with you.

    remember Floyd thought that Mosley was going to "knock Cotto out cold"...And Floyd was perfectly going to accept the fight with Mosley if he was able to defeat Cotto. He wasn't and since Cotto beat Mosley, Pretty Boy Floyd's tune about Miguel Cotto and fighting welterweights has completely changed.

    margarito doesn't have a very big fan base, floyd fought hatton because of his huge following.

    Cotto doesn't need more exposure, Mayweather and every boxing fan know all about him.

    hes been saying he would like to fight floyd, does he have to be a little ***** about it on national TV and say some stupid **** to Floyd for him to sign the fight?? That isn't Cotto's style so Floyd just needs to cut the ****ing bull**** and make the fight.

    it's not that cotto needs more exposure. floyd is just lying like he always is when he says there's no money in cotto. the problem is that pbf has better options for large paydays (de la fishnet).

    once de la fishnet is taken care of again, as is no longer an option for the 8 figures, then cotto becomes the #1 option for a huge payday.

    that's when we will get mayweather-cotto.

    notice how cotto's next bout is a safe one in gomez?

    keep both of them with their "0"s in the L and D column, and then have them fight.
