      Cottocan do what he wants. His balls are already prOven. He knows he's not the best fighter ever, he's in the twilight of his career, so he's gonna stack some dough.

        Damn Kev, going hard at Miguel but yeah I can see why at the end of his career he wants a big money fight rather than fight a bunch of no namers who are good fighters, maybe he would fight Canelo but its these other fighters fault they can't get big fights if they can't find a way to draw interest from fans and thus the green to lure Miguel who is probably a top 5 draw in boxing.

            he will cash the money he set himself up for. He will fight Pac/May/JCCjr/Canelo. When those options are gone he will move to the next tier in profit.

            You can't expect him to do anything else than what all the other names in boxing are doing. Martinez don't want to fight Pirog or the likes because the risk is greater than the money/fame.
            Same with most guys. Pac and May both go for what will sell rather than rank/ability of opponent. If there was a guy like Lara in welterweight, he would never get a shot at Pac/may, just like Lara won't fight Cotto.

            It sucks, but it is what it is.

              Cotto-Ortiz would be a good scrap, a fan friendly fight that would do pretty good numbers.

              There's no money in that list.

                nope cotto is a coward now, i dont see what an extra couple million is for him anyways, hes already a multi-millinoaire and set for life finacnially, he should worry about legacy and his reputation and actually fight a live body or someone he isn't in it for a pay day only

                  beating pac or mayweather would do more for his legacy than fighting martinez though?

                  martinez himself should worry about his legacy and his money. Hes basically wasting his last couple of years fighting irrelevants.

                    extra couple of million??? lol

                    fighting mayweather or manny can get him 10 million or more
                    fight those other guys like martinez and kirkland wont get him any where near that


                    and how do you know that he is financially set for life?
                    how many fighters do we see in boxing make millions and end up broke

                      Cory Spinks should be next, fits right in to what a Cotto opponent should be nowadays. Or maybe even a rematch with Shane Mosley.
                      still better than any bum ass dr fighter. and if cory can bring in the money. he can get it too.
