First of all.............
How can Mayweather be avoiding Cotto when Cotto's next two fights are pretty much set? Last time I checked, Cotto was fighting Gomez, followed by the winner of the Margarito/Cintron fight. Seems like Cotto's schedule is pretty full for a while.
Alfonso Gomez - imagine what the Mayweather haters would be saying if it was Floyd fighting Gomez instead of Cotto fighting Gomez. They sure as hell wouldn't be trying to sell it off as a "keeping busy fight

"
Margarito/Cintron winner - Great fight for Cotto, but to think that either one of those guys would pose a threat to Mayweather is laughable. Nonetheless, it's a good move for Miguel to unify his titles so that the Mayweather vs. Cotto fight will be that much bigger ($$$), and more importantly, more meaningful.
Second of all.............
Who says that fighting Oscar Delahoya at 154 isn't/wasn't a helluva lot more dangerous than fighting Cotto at 147? Delahoya at 154 is a lot tougher that Alfonso Gomez, Kermit Cintron, and Antonio Margarito for sure.
Lastly...............
The Mayweather vs. Delahoya fight ended in a SPLIT DECISION. The last time that Mayweather fought a fight that was that close, he fought a rematch. What's wrong with giving a rematch in a close fight that appeals to 98% of boxing fans and THE REST OF THE WORLD.
If Cotto had the chance to fight Delahoya, he would do it in a heartbeat.
After reading some of the responses in this thread, it should be very clear to everybody that nobody is avoiding Cotto, especially Floyd Mayweather; but that av
there are a lot of delusional members of this forum that are avoiding the truth when they say crazy nonsense like "Mayweather is avoiding Cotto."
