He is champion after all and believes he is the best just like Floyd believes he is the best. I blame them both if this fight doesnt happen. And as much as I dont like PBF, hes not entirely to blame if it never happens or happens too late. So my answer is, NO, he is not more to blame but he is equally as guilty as avoiding the fight.
I don't think Cotto needs to waste his time calling Mayweather out, because he has everyone else doing it for him.

Last night, HBO mentioned a potential Floyd-Cotto fight a ton of times, and every media article written about the Cotto-Gomez fight mentions Mayweather.

If Cotto beats Margarito in July, HBO is going to spend the whole night talking about Floyd ducking Cotto, and every article is going to mention that Floyd doesn't want to fight Cotto.

When Floyd fights Oscar in September, HBO is going to spend the whole night talking about how Floyd needs to fight Cotto, and every artcle is going to mention Cotto as the guy that Floyd needs to fight.

The longer these guys wait, the more money becomes involved in the fight. If Floyd beats Oscar, and Cotto beats Margarito and then someone else in late '08, then these guys will make millions and millions to fight each other in 2009.
