For a while, there were talks about a fight with Chavez, then haven't heard much. I did a search to see if any news came up, and I found this. Apparently talks were for Cotto-Berto, but Arum said the fight was difficult to make. DiBella said it wasn't.

Anybody else heard anything about Cotto? I am guessing they probably aren't saying anything until Margarito-Pacquiao is done?

Haven't heard much but I wouldn't be surprised if he was first in line with a rematch of the winner of the Nov. 13th fight.

I'd be shocked if he fought Pac again - particularly if Pac wins.

Cotto-Marg 2 (assuming Marg gets destroyed) would be an obvious choice because fans (and Cotto) would assume Marg used the wraps in the first fight and that Cotto would be coming for righteous revenge.

That said, Cotto-Angulo would be a big money maker for Cotto in a very winnable fight.

And Snoop, Foreman was never going to be a star and Top Rank knew it because he's not exciting and never will be. He was perfect for Cotto because he was light hitting and had a Jewish fan base in NYC that they could sell for a Yankee Stadium type of event.

Cotto is still a major draw and Arum will feed him medium-sized snacks as long as Cotto remains popular with the crowds and HBO.

When Cotto-Floyd is announced at 154, then you will know that Arum is finally cashing out on him. Not one minute sooner.
