    cotto has been at WW for how long? he can build his name through better means by fighting worthy opponents, not someone like gomez.

    mayweather is past the point of building his name, why fight cotto now and make, say, $10 mill, when he can wait for him to develop into a superstar, get all the belts, and have a megafight down the road?

    people act like floyd is scared of cotto. hes just waiting for him to make him enough money. i would do the SAME thing if i were him

      So who is gonna generate more interests from the general public than Mayorga and Gomez? You're gonna tell me Cintron or Quintana is more know to the ESPN public than Gomez?

          not to the espn public

          but i think having another belt would be overall a lot more appealing then fighting anybody from the contender

            i normally respect your post. just wanted to get that out there. i disagree with you on the belt though. when i was first getting into boxing, as a casual fan, i really didnt care about belts. i just wanted to see good match ups. i personally feel that the casual fan also doesnt put much stake in belts or belts that are on the line. I've never really watched a fight were people were like," IF HE LOSES, HE HAS TO GIVE UP ALL 3 BELTS, WBO, IBF, WBC". if anything, they care more about the fighter's record.

                appreciate the respect, back at you

                as a casual fan, most likely you wont know who anybody is besides the floyds and oscars correct?

                unless you watch espn you won't know who gomez is either. so you wont know what a "good match up" will be. but if you see a guy wearing a belt, you'll think to yourself "ok hes the champion, he must be good"

                they won't even know about the fighters record unless hes undefeated

                  if you want to define "ducking" as not wanting to fight somebody who your considered better than cuase they wont make enough money for you, then go ahead

                  if thats the case im going to accuse cotto of ducking cintron and every other lesser fighter that called him out

                    He is one of the bigger fighters in the sport in a popular welterweight division.
                    Pointless fight.
                    If your going to hate on Floyd and say him fighting DLH is a pointless fight, then call this like it is too and be honest.
                    This fight is pointless.
                    people seem to forget when cotto was looking for an opponent everyone was already booked except for clottey and he was in his country waiting for the cintron fight
