Floyd is fighting Oscar Delahoya in his next fight (a rematch of the fight that made the most money in the history of boxing, for those who don't know)
Miguel Cotto is fighting Alfonso "Who?" Gomez in his next fight.
If/when Cotto beats Gomez then Margarito/Cintron he will be the big attraction that Mayweather seeks. Until then, he's not much more of a threat that Paul Williams was a short while back............... or even Margarito was a long while back, and he would bring about the same amount of money that Margarito/Williams would have brought before they got beat. Look at the big picture.
Some people are hella ignorant when it comes to realizing this. Get over it. Bob Arum said that Cotto is tied up for the rest of the year in an interview on boxingtalk.com a short while back while Mayweather is fighting a fight as big as Cotto could ever dream of.
Mayweather is not fighting the fights that the hardcore boxing fans want, he is fighting the fights that ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD wants.
As for Cotto?.................... What hardcore boxing fan wants to see Miguel Cotto vs. Alfonso Gomez?? Let alone the non-hard core boxing fans.
Mayweather WILL fight Cotto assuming that Cotto beats Alfonso Gomez

and the winner of Margarito vs. Cintron. If he doesn't, only then could people have a somewhat intelligent argument by saying that "Mayweather is ducking Cotto." In the meantime...... just watch your boy Cotto fight the other top welterweights like Alfonso Gomez and Margarito and Kermit Cintron
