Floyd knows he's not going to make any decisions for at least the next 6-8 weeks, at the absolute minimum. If he spends that time saying, "I want Cotto" he's lowering his price. On the other hand, if he keeps acting like he wants no part of it, he's driving up the price.
If 2008 comes and goes and Mayweather and Cotto don't fight, then everyone should feel free to criticize whoever it was that stood in the way of the fight happening. Floyd would be fair game if he won't step up and fight Cotto. But now isn't the time. We have to let things play out.
