The next fight for Miguel Cotto, who won the WBA junior middleweight, remains in a limbo and yesterday it emerged that the champ born in Rhode Island rule out a fight with the Haitian Andre Berto, the undefeated WBC welterweight champion. Vanes Martirosyan was been mentioned for Cotto to make his first defense of the title he snatched from Yuri Foreman.
Cotto is being considered along with Antonio Margarito to be the next opponent for Pacquiao, but it trascened that if chosen for the November 13 battle, he will ask for the same blood tests that were the stumbling block for Floyd Mayweather Jr. nott fighting with the Filipino .

Props for Cotto. He is trying to klean up the sport.
Ripped fuel. And I'll laugh my ass off if Cotto fights Chavez Jr without wanting him tested. Lol.
i actually want to see cotto-chavez.
it can show two things , how much cotto has left and if chavez really has any potential.
you know that will sell too. the mexicans and puerto ricans will east that shit up.
it could probably do as much numbers as marg-cotto.
do you know what exactly roy tested for?
i don't remember what it was called.
richard hall tested for the same exact thing too right?

Fight happened in Indianapolis against Richard Hall. And I saw it live.

jones , vargas and toney all got caught.
jones didn't get suspended though because what he took wasn't illegal at the time. i think that shit was available over the counter at the time. even his opponent tested positive for the same substance.

You are correct with the Mosley, Jones, Vargas, Toney and many others whom have been caught by either confession or some other investigation but never by urine samples.

you have valid points, and we wont know what happened with the negotiations until Cotto says something himself.
But with the Pac/Margarito fight, it's bs too..
Margarito's last 2 fights..
Against Mosley, Marg was caught cheating before the fight, and got ktfo later that evening..
He's out for a year and comes back against some fringe contender in Roberto Garcia.. and now he gets to fight Pacquiao? thats lame.. and not only that, the weight limit is 154 and Margarito may have to weigh in at 150?
boxing is a circus
i trust puerto rican articles about cotto as much as i do filipino articles about pacquiao.
pac-marg might be bs but it's something we haven't seen.
we've seen cotto-pac already. cotto was barely competitive. cotto needs a big win for that fight to sell again.
pac-marg will sell.
even if these stories are true , even if cotto didn't ask for testing , pac-marg would do better financially than pac-cotto 2. even if it's outside the u.s.
that's why pac-marg got made instead of pac-cotto 2. money talks.
my guess is it's a rumor started to explain why cotto couldn't get the fight.
You are correct with the Mosley, Jones, Vargas, Toney and many others whom have been caught by either confession or some other investigation but never by urine samples.
i wouldn't take these rumors seriously until cotto comes out and say it.
boxing rumors in puerto rico can be bad some time.
after the fight , puerto rican newspapers were spreading the rumors that cotto wasn't allowed to come in over 145 fight night which was complete bs.
marg is the better fight , more interesting fight and the bigger money even if it's outside the u.s.
that's why marg was chosen over cotto. besides cotto had just 1 fight after his beatdown against manny. he wasn't very competitive except in the beginning.
for the public to buy a pac-cotto rematch , cotto needs a big , high profile win first.

if cotto asked for the testing, good for him.. he's the one getting in the ring, he has the right to protect himself against fighters who may be cheating..
i honestly do not understand pacquiao.. if he is so pure and righteous and doesnt take peds, why refuse the testing? You could test me any day of the week i have nothing to hide, you would think a CLEAN fighter would have the mentality....

ehhhh....... cotto wasn't chosen because cotto got beat down last time.
people ain't gonna buy a beatdown the 2nd time around.
I'm sorry....for a second I thought Pac didn't fight Cotto for a second time due to the way he dominated him in the first fight. Any chances of him ever rematching Manny went out the window when he started doing that Michael Jackson type Moon walk to avoid further punishment.
To Cotto and all the haters...........:bottle::bottle::bottle::bottle:
Cotto ain't ready for Manny... probably never will be...put the baby bottles away.
Yeah Cotto can make demands. Who is Cotto now????
Who is Cotto?? He's a 4 time world champ in 3 weight divisions, that's who he is. And yeah, he does have some bargaining and draw power. Maybe not a lot, but enough to be taken seriously.
