Cotto ducked this fight. He knows he couldn't take Angulo's pressure. Fighting a bigger guy that is able to eat his punches and keep coming forward is like suicide. If Arum really did do that, then it is shady. Probably wanted to get Perro out of the rankings so that Kneegel wouldn't have any competition to deal with if he wanted to win another vacant title belt.Comment

... @ Gary Shaw saying Arum was protecting Cotto, and Cotto initially turn down the Vans fight. It is interesting that Angulo is no longer in the 154 picture, and by the time that dude is able to fight in the U.S he may be @ 160 by then.

i don't believe shaw. hbo wouldn't be able to force arum to make cotto vs perro. arum would just have went to showtime like he did. cotto vs cintron would have been a bigger fight than perro anyway since cintron already schooled perro.Comment

That's a good point, but Cotto vs Perro would still have been good fight. Cotto doesn't present the height reach advantages Cintron used to win that fight. Cotto/Perro would look like Cotto/Torres and it represents the PR vs Mexico rivalry IMO.Comment
