Top Rank head Bob Arum does not believe that WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto will be the opponent for Miguel Cotto's return on February 14. The stumbling block appears to be Berto's mandatory obligation. According to Arum, the WBC is leaning on Berto to make his mandatory defense against Luis Collazo and will not approve a Cotto-Berto showdown until that mandatory obligation is met. [details]

Damn nothing ever goes threw.

Cotto vs Clottey. Stop freezing him out! You are the promoter for both so whats the hold up!

This was always gonna happen. I can't see Arum sticking Clottey in with Cotto either, he won't want either of his fighters to get another L on their records.

This could be good for Berto, I think it'll be Cintron for Cotto if he gets past N'dou, I think it would be a pretty big fight for the Puerto Ricans.

Cintron is fighting N'dou in a few weeks, the same N'dou who fought Malignaggi.

I meant Cotto-Cintron will most likely happen, it would be a big fight for the Puerto Ricans.
