Pac aint interested at this point and most people in general aren't interested and believe regardless of the addition of Emmanual Stewart that the fight wouldn't be much more competitive. I disagree but Cotto would have to fight a perfect fight to win, not to mention be willing to walk thru some serious fire.
Regardless I only see the following options for Mr. Cotto to get another shot.
The first way is by taking on Floyd and beating him in an impressive fashion. Even beating Floyd impressively wouldn't guarantee him a rematch, simply place him into a very high position on the "me next list". This would be the most difficult route for Cotto IMO
The best way to entice Pac into a rematch would be to grow some balls and move up and win a belt at middleweight. He automatically becomes desirable and only because he could potentially increase pacs glory.
There are several options, none of them easy;
Felix Sturm: A very underrated middleweight champ but also a fighter who has his share of weaknesses. Sturm seems to be looking for a way to get under the big spotlight and a fight with Cotto would be a big one if it were held in the states.
Winner of Martinez vs Williams: Nobody has ever said greatness is easy, neither fight would be an easy fight but a winnable fight. Cotto would be the real deal WBC champ.
Dmitry Pirog, newly crowned WBO champion and the least experienced of the champs. In my view the most lucrative and easiest way to another division belt.
Pac has severely beaten Cotto and I think he and Roach would jump at the chance to notch another divisional belt.
