World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman says that the WBC would welcome a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto with open arms.
That said, Cotto and Margarito are both Top Rank fighters and negotiations are already underway to arrange to pit them against each other on July 26.
However Don Jose said: “I believe that the people of the world some day will pressure for the Mayweather/Cotto [fight] to happen. I believe it’s also planned to have a fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather in the Fall. The prospect of these fights are very interesting.”
Floyd has already won WBC belts in five weight categories and Don Jose praised him by saying: “Floyd is not only the best of his era. To me he’s one of the best twenty in of the whole three hundred years of boxing! Floyd has also been one of the ten best in the WBC’s history, and I’m talking about Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and Mike Tyson!"
“I feel Floyd belongs there. But I also respect and like Cotto. He’s a very strong, very tough fighter, he comes forward and lets the other guy know that he’s in a fight. That’s going to be a helluva fight.
“I do believe that the fight between Floyd and Cotto will happen in 2009, perhaps in May, September or October. But I’m sure that fight is going to happen, and the WBC will not object to it. To the contrary we will support it with open arms.”

I dont know P4P always talking about how is semi- retarted I mean retired. And how is only gonna fight once a year. He alredy got Hatton set up for spring of 2009. I seriouly doubt that he'll fight again that year just a few months apart.
The Hatton fight isn't a done deal yet for one thing. Also, Floyd will fight whenever there is money. He isn't following a strict once-a-year schedule.
You and I both know that the Hatton fight will happen. Just like The oscar fight isnt done but everyone knows its gonna happen. And tell him that he isnt fighting 1 time a year he said it.
I'll do the same as shane, except i'll only give you 250,000 if the fight doesnt come off in 09, if it does, you give me 50,000. Now if floyd or cotto lose by then, the deals off, both still must be undefeated for this to happen.
:laugh:Yall acting like I dont want this fight to happen. Im the one that wants it to happen the most here. I want it to happen this year. Im just going off of what the guys says.
possibly the END of next year. that sucks just waiting that long. and like Lance stated, Cotto's gotta stay undefeated till then which is no way a garuntee.

also, berto will be in the picture by next year, and Margy might give cotto fits. I know, I know, cotto right off hand sounds like the sure thing but if they both bring there A-game when the time comes and cotto doesn't, upsets can happen.

In order for this fight to be made, Cotto and/or his promoter, Arum, need to challange the WBC Champion into the fight. When that happens, Floyd will most likely take the fight. This will most likely be in the year 2009.
If Cotto would ever fight Hatton it would be in NYC of PR and i dont think that Hatton would like that so that fight isnt gonna happen, and besides Cotto would kick his ass! i see Mayweather feeling pressured to fight the winner of Cotto/Margy and it would happen early 09. Floyd is just trying to get more fans with all that wrestling sh--, and letting Cotto win some more fights so the fight can be more hyped and interesting, i guess he is doing a pretty good job, hes all about the money, hes letting Cotto get more fans and fame, so the day they fight it would the fight of the century.

The MHG love to use anything against Mayweather. Notice how threads about Floyd ducking Cotto last much longer than threads about Floyd funding the Golden Gloves in his hometown
Mayweather vs. Cotto will happen if Miguel keeps winning, only the haters can't see this.
Floyd better come out strong and press the action in this one. He knows Oscar fights in spots now so there's no reason to be extremely careful like he was in the 1st fight.
I cant see Floyd stopping DLH, say what you want about DLH but he can take a punch. And tbh Floyd is not nearly as powerful as Tito, Vargas or Mayorga.
There is no way Floyd does anthing different in this fight guys, Oscar still has the speed and power to catch him and KHTFO if Floyd opens up. He wont change anything from the last time.
