    Better opponents were available for Cotto to fight and Arum pitted him against Gomez. Who we all know is going to be crushed.

    Cintron was calling to unify with Cotto, but Arum WOULD NOT set up the fight unless Cintron vacated for Clottey. Yet, Arum goes and makes Cintron/Margo. Leaving Clottey out of the picture.


    I would of preferred Cotto-Cintron/Clottey or at the very least Margo. Gomez shouldn't even of been in the picture.


    If Cotto doesn't go in and completely dominate/destroy Gomez. He's taken a step back. Cotto has everything to lose and nothing to gain.

    Eze your starting to get ridiculous with your Mayweather propoganda. If your on his payroll, there has to be better things to do with your time. If not, your working for free.

    Mayweather is in the most packed division in boxing and he is fighting DLH, a shamefull choice. Hows that for bad selection?

    I dont get a give about what Mayweather is doing. He shouldn't be fighting DLH. But DLH is better than Gomez.


    Arum put Cotto against the easiest opponent why?

    Gomez is superior to Margarito, De La Hoya, Clottey, or Cintron. He's an elite fighter who is probably a little below the Duran that beat Leonard. Bob Arum doesn't realize this though, so he'll be in for a shocker when Cotto is brutally beaten.

    Yea DLH is better than Gomez but its a big money fight for Floyd so its worth the minimal risk that it presents

    Cotto is taking an easy fight (which I think is too easy) so he looks sensational and Floyd may choose him later this year.

    Both are making cowardly moves and Im disgusted all the way around. Its no way for the two best fighters in the best division in boxing to act, and I don't give either a pass. But fundamentaly there is no difference between Floyd and Miguel's punk moves.

    It damm sure ain't the 80's anymore.

    On a more serious note, Gomez is a stay-busy fight, but I'm less than pleased with the selection. Arum should have made Cotto/Clottey while Cintron and Margarito fight. Then the winners could face off in a unification match.

    Let's hope Cotto beats Gomez in impressive fashion to set up bigger matchups later in the year. And adding to that, hopefully Arum is willing to give us unification.

    I think this is tooo easy of a fight. And Cotto should of went after someone else. But like we all know, Cotto fights who his management wants. Thus Arum is the true problem. **** Arum
