Can u imagine the S*** u guys would fling at PBF if he decided to fight Gomez?
It's not the same thing because Cotto wanted to fight Mayweather first and de la Hoya second, but they instead decided to fight each other. Second, Williams is tied up in a fight with Quintana, Margarito will be fighting Judah around the same time, and Clottey is probably waiting for his mandatory against Cintron (I guess Cintron was available, however). Thus, who can Cotto fight at the time. Plus, this is a set up for a fight with Margarito, thus you can't compare the two because Cotto does not seem to be ducking ANYBODY.
As Rican said,firstly it's a set up for a Margarito fight and secondly,Cotto is coming off wins over Judah and Mosley,and Gomez isn't exactly a bum is he? And secondly,Floyd has fought Mitchell,Gatti and Brussles before his admittedly impressive 07.So how can you question Gomez as a gimme opponent in the build up to a Tony fight?Stupid thinking.

Agreed...and I don't know why I keep repeating this but Gomez is not a gimme....Cotto is going to beat him yes but Gomez is not going to lay down....The guy does not consider himself an opponent in anyway...I can name worse opp to choose from
