WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto plans to rest and spend time with his family for the next couple of weeks. After the holidays are over, Cotto is going to sit down with Top Rank to discuss the next move for his career. Cotto's contract with Top Rank expires on December 31st. The Puerto Rican superstar has already pledged to remain with Top Rank until the end of his career.
"Bob Arum is my promoter and he will always be my promoter," Cotto said.
Arum would like to match Cotto against WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but went over some of the other possible names being thrown around, like Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Sergio Martinez.
"Cotto deserves to fight for another title and Chavez, Jr. is a good choice. It could be for the spring of next year, probably in Las Vegas. Forget Mayweather, Jr., for now. He wants to fight [Manny] Pacquiao and we are focused on making this fight. Canelo is still too young to fight Cotto and Sergio Martinez could be an interesting fight, but he plans to fight on March 17. We'll see. Let's take one thing at a time," Arum told Lester Jiminez.
