Gomez has some popularity from his contender appearances.
He became more well known after beating Gatti.
Cotto deserves a tune up after two big fights so Gomez is maybe the best known guy at 147 who has no real chance of winning......

[DAVIDTUA]

yeah thats the only thing i can think of is that cottos is long over due for an easy fight or a tune up?

the gatti win was horrible to watch

Its just Cotto staying busy. He has worked hard recently and deserves a relative gimme. As long as he stays busy and puts hard fights in with the occasional gimme then Ive no complaints. Not every fight can be a mega fight.

Cotto deserves a gimmie Isnt he the heir apparent to Mayweather or something? Do you see Margarito taking a gimmie(technically yeah because he's just gonna make Cintron cry again)

But if Mayweather took an easy fight people would be barking to high heaven that he is ducking Cotto.

Cotto gets an easy fight and its because "he's earned it"

And if a Cotto fan tells me "thats different.. Mayweather is the number one p4p and Cotto just got here" then you're basically admitting that Floyd can't duck Cotto because you're admitting Cotto aint ready
