Arum even said Floyd would take the fight against Margarito but the mere 10 million against Cotto and Hatton was too much UnbelievableComment

I get your point and I want to see a Floyd Cotto showdown badly. With that said I think more people should truthful about what was going on at the point in time we are talking about. Margarito called Floyd out but there were not many how felt he was an elite welter YET. The win over Cotto put him in that bracket. The Cotto/Floyd fight is the one we should be talking about in reference to a missed oppertunity. With that said both Floyd and Cotto made minimal efforts for that to actually happen. The blame falls on both. I made a thread a while back that went like 20 pages about this and in the end a lot of the Cotto and Floyds fans both acknoleged that neither fighter put effort into making the fight.Comment

The general consensus at the end of 2007 was pitting Floyd vs Cotto sometime in 2008, but as soon as word got around that Floyd was retiring, in came the Cotto vs Margarito fight. I agree it's a missed opprotunity for both, but it's tough to fault Cotto being he's not the most vocal guy but will indeed fight anyone. You can also throw in the Arum / Floyd beef, but I take that with a grain of salt too because Oscar's had his share of issues with Arum too and at the end of the day money seemed to be the "pacifier" for both parties.
I think eventually we'll see these 2 fight, but it may be a case of "Man, imagine if they would've fought 3-4 yrs ago".Comment
