You can't rationally criticise Cotto for fighting Jennings after taking a brutal beating. If he had beaten Marg, he certainly wouldn't have fought Jennings next.
As for whether he'd have fought Williams next if he'd beaten Margarito, I don't know, but if he hadn't, it would have been because of the Arum-Hayman feud, not because Cotto was ducking.
fought in a mega payday with Oscar De La Hoya and if he would have
won that fight then Floyd Mayweather Jr was going to get at him
for all the marbles at 147 and Roger already said they were eyeing
Cotto but wanted to see how he would do against Antonio Margarito.

The vacant title could be filled by a match between the WBO's leading contenders, former titlist Miguel Cotto and England's Michael Jennings, although it remains to be seen if either side is interested in the fight.Last edited by Dave Rado; 05-11-2009, 10:59 PM.

You want to be a legend, then get out and fight like one. Every fight does ot have to be a 20 million dollar fight. What is wrong with 10 Million and keep active? Floyd could have made about another 60 million during those two years he decised to party on the vegas strip.
Sorry but Cotto and Mosley paid their dues and deserve a shot at Manny more than anyone. You cannot close the door on the bread and butter of the sport just because they don't measure up financially. That is a terrible way of thinking. With that way of thinking they would never get a shot and always have the door closed on them.Last edited by deanrw; 05-11-2009, 10:59 PM.

Originally posted by FistoftheDallasStar View PostWhateverrrrrrr, bro. That fight was needing to happen before Mayweather went AWOL. It was either Cotto or Margarito at that time. Dude take off your "money" goggles and see what happened with your own two eyes. Floyd ducked out of boxing so he wouldn't be pressured to fight Margo or Cotto. It's pretty obvious!
lined up but Oscar wanted it to be the same split and Floyd wasn't
feeling that. I'm sure if Cotto was where Manny is right now that
Floyd would have been kracking at him. Floyd's motivation is
being in the lime light and on everybody's mind. WE may want
the Cotto/Mayweather fight but Floyd doesn't. I heard an interview
with Roger on Youtube and he said after Pac they want Mosley.

a Pacquiao/Cotto fight. I'd prefer to see Mayweather Jr/Pacquiao
before the end of the year.
