    Next:

    If Clottey and Cintron aren't able to fight Cotto, then...

    Cotto vs. Berto.

    Berto loses his WBC title due to being 2lbs overweight. The belt is only at stake for Cotto.

    Cotto/Berto is now for the WBO, and VACANT WBC 147 belt.

    Cotto's SIXTH vacant belt. (if only this were to happen, heheheheehe)

      Is beating an undefeated Quintana a worse win than Hatton beating Maussa, Malignaggi beating N'Dou, Hatton beating Urango, Mayweather beating Gatti, Mayweather beating Baldomir, Oscar beating Mayorga etc.?

      The vacant bull**** is another thign Floyd fans brought up. It's ******ed. The WBO title Cotto won is meaningless though I agree. Most of the belts are meaningless now anyway.

          No one is talking ****... its is truth..

          Cotto is more of a product of the media and HBO then a product of himself...

          How can you be a 5 time belt holder, but never in your career in almost 40 fights never have beaten a current world champion for a belt...

          This is what I am talking about...

          They are just trying so hard to make Miguel Cotto what they want him to be, not what he is...

            I wasnt hating, its just a fact. Floyd got so much flack for not being called THE MAN in certain divisions but you never hear such arguments about other fighters, Floyd is the ultimate hated guy, I should make a thread about all the things he is hated for and others get a pass.

              Yeah SRR's 90 or so fights before he won a title were meaningless. You guys are fools. A good opponent is a good opponent, period.

                I never said its meaningless, everybody knows Cotto is good, its just a fact of the vacated titles. When Floyd beat Gatti all you heard was that Gatti wasnt the man at 140 so Floyd is getting a paper title, never hear that with other fighters.

                      What people fail to realize is that the only TRUE titles out there are The Ring Magazine titles. All there is to it.

                      Right now, 10 of their titles are vacant. Simple as that. Which means, eventually someone will win these titles, and it'll be vacant title. Won't make it mean less.

                      It's just the nature of the beast. The fact that anyone would care how Cotto won the WBO title is pretty ridiculous. He won it to have the trinket for the negotiation process. That's all.

                      Get over it, really.
