There are legitimate reasons why it almost certainly will never happen again. They have become friends, they are in different weight classes and they are now both trained by Freddie Roach, who will be working with Cotto for the first time in the Rodriguez fight.

“I talked to Manny about it a little bit because Manny asked me if he could watch Miguel work out and I said ‘of course you can.’ So Manny came to watch,” Roach said of one his training sessions with Cotto. “They shook hands and they are friends. Manny and Miguel will never fight each other (again). They have had their fight and it’s over. Miguel is a 154-pounder and Manny is 147. They are friends now and once Manny becomes friends with someone he will never fight them. They won’t fight and I guarantee you that.”

Not a fight that needed to happen anyway. Both can go their separate ways.

Who besides maybe Bob Arum is interested to begin with?

Unless my memory is failing me, Pacquiao beat the absolute shit out of Cotto. Rematch

It's pretty cool they've become friendly with one another. The last decade of boxing wouldn't be nearly as great as it was without them, and neither guy ever ducked a fight that we wanted to see them in.

Yea that was not exactly a fight that was screaming rematch, Cotto might have been able to do better with a proper trainer but he just isn't ever going to mess with Manny his style just isn't good for that/

Cotto sure, but the other guy that is being awfully kind.

There were other fights for Manny that I wanted to see instead of Clottey, Margarita, and Mosely.
