Why does Cotto have to be the one who Challenges PBF? If I was PBF I would be looking for the best guys to fight, after all he is the one who is always talking about his legacy.

A real champion (as far as most fans see it) is a guy who never backs down from a challenge and is willing to go out on a line and defend his belt/honor/pride/ no matter who the challenger is. This is why DLH is so damn famous, its not that he was the best. It is that the genral public noticed these attributes in him and were automatically attracted to him. Same as Gatti, its NOT solely on being undefeated, win or lose DLH will ALWAYS be great in the eyes of the general public.

Oh and about it being a business first, nobody starts boxing saying " gee I can make alot of money getting my face punched in for the next 20 years." No they don't, we all started fighting to prove to either ourselves or others that we ain't no pussies. Fighting is primortial, since the beginning of time men have fought men, animal against animal, all species do it. Fighting is fighting and money/business is excuses no matter how you dice it. Everybody whether a fighter or not watches/participates for one reason and one reason alone................ to see who the man is.

Hence, that is why I think Miguel Cotto is the #1 welterweight and the champion of the division. In addition, we have Cotto vs. Margarito, 1 vs. 2, to find out who the best of the best is.
