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.

Ward is way too much for Cotto, agreed. Even with the belts I am not sure that Floyd gives him the fight, he embarrassed him in that bout. Floyd only has 4 fights left as far as he has said. The fact that he is facing Khan next is a bit of a joke. Will be tough to sell that fight.

What has Khan done lately to deserve a shot? It is a bad fight.

Agreed it is crap. Did see/hear that Provodnikov v. Pacquio is likely for April, that will be a great one.

I'm skeptical that one comes off though there arent that many good pairings for Pacquio (of course other than Mayweather) Maybe a rematch with Bradley? Danny Garcia or Matthysse would be great fights with Pacquio but the ridiculous promoter nonsense gets in the way.

I would love to see Garcia v. Provodnikov. Bradley Pacquiao is the fight that should get made since he and Floyd won't go. Like to see Floyd and Sergio Martinez.

Sergio vs Cotto should be a good fight. I will probably go if it is at MSG. Floyd has some interesting possibilities that he will never try. He is a great fighter but hasn't taken on a really dangerous fight in 10 years.

Either Maidana or Broner versus Providnokov would be a great fight too but wont happen because of the bs.
