Former two-division champion Miguel Cotto is refusing to submit to the pressure of Top Rank's Bob Arum, who gave the Puerto Rican superstar a Wednesday deadline to made a decision on a potential fight on February 21 with Michael Jenning of the UK. The vacant WBO welterweight title will be at stake and should take place at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The fight will be part of a split-feed pay-per-view doubleheader, along with the other co-main event - Kelly Pavlik defending his middleweight titles in Ohio against Marco Antonio Rubio. [details]

**** man... I hope Cotto fights in Feb.. If he fights in April or March.. I doubt he'll fight in June..... -
Good hope cotto doesnt take the fight, he should sit out for the margarito rematch which would be his last fight with top rank then he should go it alone.Last edited by Ray*; 11-27-2008, 06:15 AM.Comment

A March or April date is alright, although February would probably be better.Comment

Cotto has took the fight, i thought? If he hasn't then he should, I think he would beat Jenning. He should take the fight, get the title then move on to bigger and better things like a rematch with Margarito, move up a weight class to fight Cory Spinks or maybe even a fight with Hatton. I think Cotto would beat Ricky at the Welter weight division but at Jnr. Welter then it would be a more even contest. Either way, he still has more than enough time to be top dog again!Comment

Cotto would be better off getting a fight before the end of Febury if u ask meComment

a long break could help Cotto,.. let him rest and get that natural desire and hunger back... or he won't do well, ... the long break helped Taylor,.. I feel that Cotto would benefit by a few more month rest as well.Comment

It's so crazy that there is a vacant WBO belt and somehow a complete unknown, no hope British fighter is ranked high enough to fight for it.
who woulda thunk it?Comment
