    You got the right promoter and you bring in money you get more opportunities than the next guy. Look at JCC jr and his shot at Zbik. It is all dollars and cents. Other guys got to fight harder and go thru harder competition.

    Look at this weekend the match of Jones/Karass. Berto wouldn't be caught dead in the ring with either of them

      Both were highly rated by the WBO, and both were competing at 140. That is the main and important difference.

      Even though this is not a good reason, I think it was a rematch from an amateur fight that Pinto beat Cotto if I'm not mistaken. Cotto had another one of those amateur rematches -that he lost- against Abdullev(sp?).
      Yes and if Im right Abdullev ended with the gold medal at the Olympics.
