I dont think Floyd wants anything to do with Cotto. To risky. As he said after the Hatton fight, he wants to "retire from boxing not have boxing retire him". But I'd love to see it happen.

seifer,
Have you watched any of Hatton's previous fights? beyond the last couple?

Is Cotto Puerto Rican?

Yea, thats why his fights are normally on the east coast. His last one at MSG drawing agasinst Mosley drew almost 4 mil at the gate alone so theres definitely money to be made if Mayweather wants it.

Sounds like De La Hoya is throwing some serious $$$ at Floyd to fight Cotta.

I was in Vegas for the weekend but didn't get tickets to the fight. But man, it was a British takeover during the weekend. Everywhere I walked around I heard that Hatton Wonderland song. They made US fans look tame in comparison. Great fight by Floyd, I think this was his second best performance, just behind his destruction of Diego Corrales. The entire package was on display. I hope this 2 year break he's planning to take isn't real, I really wanna see him fight against Paul Williams and Miguel Cotto before his career is over. The welterweight division is so stacked that even if we don't see Floyd fight those two, there's so many other great matchups that can be made.

$50 mill for 2 fights within the span of about a year...thats just crazy...and people say that boxing is slowing down...
