Cotto turns down a chance at more money to fight Canelo. After getting beaten easily by Mayweather in May 2012, I guess he figures his best chance at becoming relevant again is moving up in weight? A match with Sergio Martinez is intriguing, and if he were to beat Sergio... maybe that would mean Andre Ward or Gennady Golovkin in the latter part of 2014?

Martinez is a logical fight for him. He holds legit belts, isn't a big puncher anymore, didn't look great in his last fight, is coming off a long layoff and injury and Cotto gets a huge homefield advantage.

He will never fight Ward who is simply far too big for him. If he were to beat Martinez it could set up a huge rematch with Mayweather who would love to grab the middleweight titles.
