Why Isn't Cotto Targeted By Top Fighters????

The fight with Corley didn't happen because, according to Top Rank, his people didn't accept the offer quick enough and that he overpriced himself. However, his people claim to never have received the offer nor to have overpriced himself. Who knows.

cuz cotto is a mini tyson .. but he alredy mature

I think there is 2 reasons why Cotto isn't fighting top guys yet. 1. His people do not think he is ready. 2. The top guys have nothing to gain by fighting him. Couldn't have said it better. I think those are the exact reasons why. He owns no major belt, & he's still making his name.

Does anyone know why the fight with Corley didn't happen? I wish we could see that instead of his fight with some nobody (past his prime Randall Bailey) on the Klitchko PPV.

i think he needs to be more asertive of who he wants too he always says he leaves that up to his team and managment to me thats kinda like "i dont really care" and not in a good way almost like hes not entirely motivated to fight top guys i wanna see him call come names out Boxing is a business where risk/reward are weighted very heavily. There is no reason to put Cotto in with Mayweather or Mitchell right now but they would go for any other person in the weight class, including Harris and Tszyu. Miguel is a very confident fighter who takes his time and systematically breaks down his opponents. It's not that he's not motivated, he just would rather leave that to his trainers, just like Tito Trinidad leaves it to his dad and Don King. As for Mayweather being afiliated with Top Rank, last I heard he was still a free agent. That is why he doesn't have any fights lined up right now.

Cotto could beat a top fighter and its a reason to void him but i think promoters know he`s still young and they want his profile improved so that he can rake in the big pay days. He isn`t gonna be thrown in with Mitchell, Tsyu or hatton for that matter until its the amount of money that`ll pay divides!

Becuase all of the top guys know that Cotto will beat em.

The man's now in the no-man's-land between getting noticed and getting ranked high. He's to good to fight unless he's up in the top two or three, in which case he would be made a mandatory by one of the alphabets. As of now, a win over him would do nothing to improve the top fighters' rankings, and he's too dangerous to take on without much reward.

ofcourse hes being avoided a bit hes a very strong and talented fighter im guess alot of the fightersare waiten for someone else to give him his first real test then once they have a chance to study him with good opposition im sure many more will call him out or take him up on his challenges i think he needs to be more asertive of who he wants too he always says he leaves that up to his team and managment to me thats kinda like "i dont really care" and not in a good way almost like hes not entirely motivated to fight top guys i wanna see him call come names out
