DLH VS COTTO after PBF?

Yup, Oscar just stated to the PRican newspapers that after floyd he wants to fight Cotto for his goodbye fight. He said that Floyd is the #1 P4P champ and after floyd its Cotto and he only wants to fight the best so that is what he is going to do. Article: http://www.elnuevodia.com/diario/noticia/boxeo/deportes/oscar_quiere_a_cotto/395669 Its in spanish so sorry. If anyone wants to translate it word for word feel free. ------------- In a way its good cause it will give Cotto the Exposure..and it will sell a lot, it being oscars last fight and all. But I dont want it to be something like hes fighting Floyds left overs. But o well cant blame em for taking those big pay days....

if oscar somehow beats mayweather of course de la hoya-cotto would be huge by the end of 08. Ummmm, if DLH loses and fights Cotto it would still be huge. It is DLH.

Won't there be a bigger demand for Mayweather-Cotto by then (unless Cotto loses to Margarito)? the Hispanic community which is responsible for a large share of PPV buys would much rather see this than Mayweather/Cotto. trust.

If they fight and Cotto wins, it would be a major boost for Cotto's PPV career.

It's doubtful DLH will beat Floyd, and who would wanna see him get smashed by Cotto after losin to Floyd again? If Oscar loses I don't think Cotto would turn his attention away from Floyd to face Oscar. And of course Cotto has to beat Tony for this shit to happen. Nice farewell scenario for Oscar but there's alot of ifs to consider. If Cotto gets beat by Marg and DLH gets beat by Floyd then a DLH v Cotto fight would make some sense.

I swear if there were ever a version of a cock blocker in boxing De La Hoya is it for Cotto right now. True, if he makes him wait like he did after the Mosley fight then back out of it.Again...

"i dont need to fight Cotto, but obviously my last fight will not be against someone easy, it will be against one of the best in the world, and after mayweather its cotto"

"DLH was past his prime... i beat him at his best, hes nothing now" Yeah that's probably what it's going to be. Floyd has talked about Cotto stepping up his PPV game and you know fighting DLH that would happen. I just hope Floyd lives up to his word and when Cotto/DLH does big numbers he'll fight Cotto after that.

Oscar plans to say good bye to boxing in 2008. And he wants to do it big The Golden Boy anticipated today that after Steve Forbes May 3rd and the rematch with Mayweather september 20. He would like to say goodbye to the ring with a clash with champion Miguel Cotto If i win vs mayweather, who is the best pound for pound in hte world, i have ot continue fighting the best, and it is no secret Miguel Cotto is one of the best in the world. He has a difficult fight with Antonio Margarito, although anything can happen, we all know miguel cotto will win the fight. Said De La hoya in a phone conference as part of a promotion for his upcoming fight vs Steve Forbes

That would be nice to step up Cotto's PPV game. If Floyd didn't fight Cotto after that I wonder what his excuse would be.
