    Bob Arum is a promoter lets try not to connect anything to his words other than his bank account.

      but why do you think arum faced cotto w/gomez rather than clottey ?
      its a shame that clottey's own company does not want to give him a title shot.......

          my believe is cotto will fight margarito win or lose....
          if cintron does not fight him he should be stripped from the IBF belt,

            Why would Cotto fight Marg win or lose?

            Margarito loses and he's out of the picture, I think at least.

            hell his next loss (Tony's) would be the 6th of his career, and assuming that scenario goes through with Kermit winning

            Cintron fighting Cotto could be marketable as hell with the Puerto Rican heritage playing a factor.

            and stop with the "no one wants to fight Clottey" .. he's not marketable, thats why he doesn't get the fights

            feel free to use Clottey's lack of Marketability as a reason why he's being avoided though.

            but if your using the above ^ then tell me what Welterweight Title holder you see Clottey beating (**)

            **Gomez isn't getting that fight in April with Cotto because of his standing as a fighter .. its more a marketing reason (cough Contender season 1)

            and really, if the fighting for a vacant title does happen with Clottey, it actually benefits him IMO

            (**) Because I don't like Joshua's chances vs Cotto, Kermit, or Williams all that much .. (vs Kermit would be a 50/50 fight or pretty darn close IMO)
