What happens is the promoters choose who is the best option for that fighter at that time. What will make the most money and fill the venue. It's hilarious to me the way fans think the fighter is in control of every aspect of his career. The manager is there to handle the money, the trainer is there to train him and the promoter sets up the fight in the best interest of the fighter at that point in his career.
Fighters can say they don't want to fight a certain fighter or say they want some specific fighter but it's rare. Most of the time it's about money, plain and simple. A fighter is ready to fight, that's what he does. It's the job of the promoter and manager to make sure they are bringing that fighter up properly.
That's why when fans say "he's ducking so and so" they don't know what they are talking about.
In the case of Canelo, it makes perfect sense to fight Cotto. He's a step up, you have the Mexico v PR thing going and it's a bigger fight money wise you could argue than Canelo v Martinez.

Martinez has fought 3 cab drivers in a row(well 2 cab drivers and a decednt fight in Mcklin).
Martinez has fought people with no timming at all, or way slower than him. As soon as he fights somebody with timming hell get his ass handed to him.

Great Fight
Both of the fighters are calling out Mayweather. If you want to fight the best and have a huge payday then fight each other and the winner will make it hard to be overlooked.

"Canelo has better and safer offers. After what happened to [Chavez] Junior, logic would tell me that he'll fight Cotto [because] there is less risk and more money," Martinez said.
So what the **** is he trying to pick on JMW/WWs for then? Does he think that somehow Floyd wont go with the most money? Cmon Sergio just stop ****ing around and get in the ring with GGG.

Why is he considered to be "ducking" Golovkin? As much as I wanna see Golovkin fight Martinez, it isn't the right time. I'd rather Golovkin fight one more time on HBO against another relevant MW (Chavez/Geale/Macklin). GGG is the toughest fight, but he hasn't proved that he's the indisputable #2. I know, the same could be said for Chavez. But, Jr was coming off for a string of decent opposition, and GGG hasn't even done that. GGG would be better than Macklin/Barker/Dzinziruk, but now that Sergio is in a better position, he doesn't necessarily need to accept just any opponent.
We will see what happens.
