According to Bryan Perez, Executive Director of Miguel Cotto Promotions: "A fight between Miguel and Floyd would be great for the sport and fans around the world", "Mayweather just need to say yes to the challenge"
Getting carried away by these statements, we know Miguel is interested in fighting with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and previously he has stated so, in several occasions and also in a rematch with Manny Pacquiao.
On the other hand, Bob Arum (Top Rank) seems to have other plans with Cotto as the names that he mentioned for the Champion are the tank of a rematch with Pacquiao, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Vanes Martirosyan and Antonio Margarito ... All Top Rank ...
On Antonio Margarito, Cotto had already said he was not interested in a fight, not wanting this, benefit from the ($ $), "implying," his disgust at the possibility of using casts Margarito, in the fight that held in 2008 in Las Vegas. It is noteworthy that Margarito is currently ranked 1st in the AMB.
In summary, the tri-champion Miguel Cotto, wants all the big names (Pacquiao / Mayweather, Jr) and Arum wants the opposite. He wants Cotto to face "great prospects", where Cotto would have little to gain and much to lose.

Miguel : so wassup Floyd? let's do this!
Floyd: nice country Miguel...but im not thinkin about boxing...anyone seen Ivan?
:D
LIAR!!!! Link or it didnt happen!!!!
Besides.. I heard through unreliable sources the real reason he was there was because he was trying to get Tito to come out of retirement.. :boxing:
Where was this post when Pac fought Hatton and Oscar.
:thinkerg:
You can't knock PAC's win vs Hatton because it was @140. Just like how flomo's defend floyd's win over DLH @ 154 instead of 147 with PAC.
And you can't critisize PAC taking DLH when it was DLH who wanted that first. What boxer would have turn that down? DLH even took in 70/30.
I really don't know what's keeping Floyd for saying yes to this fight. Cotto is all over the news willing to bow down to Mayweather's demands.
Make the fight happen!
Cotto is still a live opponent, Floyd dont fight people with a chance of beating hm
No two ways about it!!!
Indeed!

By the way anybody saying that Floyd fighting Cotto means he ducked Pac, are also saying that Pac ducked Floyd by fighting Clottey.
No two ways about it!!!
Get it through your heads!!! Floyd Doesn't care about fighting other fighters.. He cares about fighters that will give him the biggest payday.. Pac is out so whos the next biggest draw?.. Miguel Cotto.. he would make alot of more money from fighting Cotto than any other name that isn't Pac... So if he fights Cotto he's doing it as a buisness standpoint which is all he seems to do lately..
If he does fight Cotto then cool.. He will most likely win but you know Cotto will give his fans a great fight.. he always does...
Best post on this thread :boxing:
Nothing personal man, but Floyds ego has nothing to do with Pac fighting Clottey. Pac could have fought someone else instead of a man coming off a loss to someone he just beat. Thats all I got to say!
I agree with you.
I doubt this fight happens, Cotto is still signed to Arum and with that goes the Payday that he and Mayweather would have earned in this fight, And Cotto would do OST all the way up to the fight because he has nothing to hide and the man is a throwback who would do anything for the fairness of a fight after what he himself has been through.
Paq should beat Marg, and if Floyd were to fight Cotto at 154, Paq and Floyd would have titles at JMW. Maybe they have a unification bout next spring.
Doubt Floyd will fight for the tittle.. he might do like he did againts Mosley and not want to pay the sanctioning fees.. wish All boxers would do the same.. it would sind a message to all these bullshit boxing governing bodies..

Setting up for Paq-Floyd at 154?
Paq should beat Marg, and if Floyd were to fight Cotto at 154, Paq and Floyd would have titles at JMW. Maybe they have a unification bout next spring.
Pac could have fought alot of other good young fighters, Alexander, Bradley to name a few. Pac is a the biggest star in boxing so he would be able to do major PPV numbers with anyone, right?
yeah but look who he won the title against?! A guy with 8KOs was it? and half a leg?!
i see cotto mayweather as pointless because mayweather will pick him apart, systematically brake him down, wide UD. i didnt say marg/pac is a good fight at any time! i only said that pac has taken that fight because mayweather didnt want none.
How about winning a title vs David Diaz?
