Here is how Cotto can bait Floyd into a fight if Floyd really doesn't plan on fighting him by next year.
1. Keep disrespecting him in the media. As Dios posted earlier one of Cotto's Quotes, "Hatton is overrated". How about "Floyd is overrated".......that would make some headlines in boxing circles.
2. If you're fighting a Margarito or a Clottey next and if you beat either one of them, keep calling for Mayweather in the post-fight interview....get creative with it. I suggest Cotto hires some writers who can come up with some good lines for him because he can't do it by himself. Too RoboCop-ish personality to get it done himself.
3. Besides Mayweather, go after the other title holders....particulary Cintron who is easier to beat. Having two major titles at 147 and still calling out floyd disrespecting him as a man and a fighter could get it done.
REMEMBER, at first Roy Jones did not wanna fight Tarver. Tarver was calling him out during the Ruiz-Jones Post-fight Conf. and he declined. Roy wanted to fight his own version of O$car in Mike Tyson and then retire but Tarver kept talking and having unified all the belts at light-heavy helped also. Roy's pride finally got in the way and he took the fight. Perhaps he underestimated Tarver all along or maybe he just wanted to shut him up but he did take the fight.......AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT. Roy got baited even into a second fight and got knocked out in the rematch.
Does Cotto have the goods? We don't know but if he wants this fight he needs to step it up verbally and make some noise. Cotto simply just beating the best put in front of him isn't going to get it done........feel me.
