Middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, the 2010 consensus fighter of the year, will make his third title defense against England's Darren Barker on Oct. 1, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com on Monday.
Martinez said he was willing to face Cotto at middleweight or drop down to junior middleweight to fight him. Martinez has animosity toward Cotto because he said Cotto refused to shake his hand when they ran into each other at a function in Mexico a couple of months ago. Rather than face Martinez, Cotto is headed toward a likely Dec. 3 rematch with Antonio Margarito.
WTF? Why wouldn't Cotto shake his hand?
I do think he's off base for calling him a coward though. I recall they did come to an agreement to possibly fight after the the Margarito rematch, but it was delayed.
The only thing Sergio wants is a BIG MONEY fight, either with Cotto, Mayweather or Pacquiao.
All Pacquiao has done is take easy money fights, and you blame Martinez who's been taking RISKY low money fights, all he wants is his payday.
Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler are big money fights, that being said Cotto should have shook his hand unless he knows there is a fight in their future possibly. Cotto was "cool" with Margarito and that mother ****er loaded his wraps I don't blame Cotto for not trusting anyone anymore. Seriously though, if your feelings are hurt because someone didn't shake your hand you're a b*tch its that simple. I think at 154 Cotto has a decent shot at beating Sergio as he has some really bad habits and Sergio won't be backing Cotto up. At 160 though, Sergio would be way too big and way too fast.

dude neither Froch nor Kessler are available to fight. So why in the hell would he pursue fights with either of them?
