The world champion welter Miguel Cotto will today along with part of its working group to Las Vegas to be present on Saturday in a clash between Floyd Mayweather Jr.. British and Ricky Hatton.
The undefeated fighters be measured in the MGM Grand in a match for scepter welter of CMB, which belongs to Mayweather. The winner of this encounter could be the next opponent for Cotto, sovereign of the BMA, who makes less than a month defeated Shane Mosley. This is only one option that has Cotto, because among other potential rivals have been mentioned in Oscar de la Hoya, Antonio Margarito and Joshua Clottey.
After witnessing the fight Mayweather-Hatton, Cotto will travel on Sunday to the city of Miami, where next Wednesday 12 will be the ceremony of the awards Fox Sports, which Cotto is nominated for Best Latin American Boxer. In this category is competing with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, Juan Diaz and Israel vazquez.
Cotto attended Mayweather - Gatti as well so I don't know what the big deal is. If this becomes a close fight the public will demand this match! If Hatton loses by a close margin, which if he doesn't win I think he will based on the amounts of punches he throws, rumors of Mayweather not handling pressure well will become solid.
Cotto and Pavlik are the best consistent pressure fighters today, Pavlik being too big for Mayweather, but Cotto presenting a serious treat. Cotto's win over Mosley has not only increased his marketability, it's proven his versatilly.
If Floyd retires, Cotto will emerge as the WW king and might well unify all 3 major belts. Floyd will be left critizing him from the sidelines until he has no other choice than to fight him. So what I'm saying is whether he fights Cotto now or in a year, it doesn't matter. Cotto will attract more money with more belts around his waiste though
good post karma on ur way.

It's simple, as long as Hatton doesn't get embarrassed, and I know some people think he will, he will fight DLH regardless.
Hopefully Floyd will fight Cotto.
If Hatton somehow wins (doubt it but anything's possible), he will fight DLH anyway. Cotto would have to wait until after that, and he could not complain about it.
I just hope Floyd does fight Cotto.
tito yuca,
forget all that floyd wants it in vegas ques le den la pela en las vegas
i don't care about glove size or nithing forget that,make the fight happen.
I don't think this fight will happen, but because of Arum, not Floyd. Cotto's stature continues to grow, and Arum being the sleazy promoter that he is, bashes Floyd in order to manipulate the public perception of Cotto and other fighters of his like Margarito by making us think they are better, more entertaining, or more worthy of fan support than Floyd. He then LIES and manipulates certain things to ensure that Floyd is the one that would look bad when these fights don't happen. A few years ago, when Floyd was still an Arum fighter, Arum said on many occasions that Cotto wasn't ready. Now Floyd is on his own, the universally recognized best in the world and the biggest draw after ODLH, so naturally everyone wants to bring him down to reach his status in the sport.
Arum has already said certain things indirectly that indicate he won't put Cotto with Floyd. That thing about fighting in MSG because of the gloves and the PR crowd. While that IS true, and better for them on a business standpoint, if he were to fight Floyd, it would have to be in Vegas because Floyd is the draw and would set the conditions of the fight. Arum has said with conviction that Cotto will NOT fight in Vegas, and this works an indirect way of making him avoid Floyd. But to cover it up, what does he do? Say that Floyd is a coward, afraid of a challenge, etc. But when he was his fighter, he was the best since Ali and Cotto would never be put in the same ring as himself. It's amazing how STUPID 99% of boxing fans are, who believe the hype created by greedy promoters always trying to make a dollar more.
I really hope Merchant brings him up to the ring and has Mayweather-Cotto face to face. Hatton-Cotto would also be a great fight.
like i said i want hatton to win but maywheather will win hatton wants cotto maywheather is talking about NOT FIGHTING COTTO and taking long vacations hopefully we'll see an upset.
Merchant will definitely ask the winner about facing Cotto. I think Floyd will lay out his plans to unify the division after he beats on Hatton. It will put everyone into an uproar.
he does that my sig will have floyd putting a remix on gatti and i'll change my avatar to floyd.

Mayweather better acknowledge his ass after the fight, and Kellerman better mention Cotto's name in the post fight interview.
that's exactly what it need to happen.
he's putting the winner in a corner.they have no where else to go.hatton can't say oscar cause they'll just laugh at his ass.
floyd can only say he's done enough for his legacy and people will say he's ducking him so,they're gonna look bad either way.
man i hope merchant brings him up to the ring for the winner,i would laugh my ass off!
that would be awesome but what is cotto doing there if he dosen't like boxing??
