Remember Cotto is the top-ranked junior middleweight and JMM holds a lightweight belt. Cotto versus Canelos is THE fight at 154.
    Agree completely that Cotto-Canelo is the fight at 154 -- and the best possible Cotto fight out there at any weight. I would much rather watch that than a Cotto-Manny repeat or Cotto-Floyd.

    But I think more likely, we get Manny-Bradley and Floyd-Canelo. And then I have no idea what happens with Cotto. None of the other potential fights are big money for him. JMM at 147 is probably the biggest and I think could still be good despite the size differential.
    I also really like Martinez versus Cotto at 154. That's the current #1 at 54' against the current #1 at 60' and the former #1 at 54. However, I don't believe that Top Rank will let any of their current fighters including Cotto face Martinez.
    Cotto's not with Top Rank anymore. But he would get destroyed by Martinez and knows it -- and Martinez does not sell tickets/PPVs. I don't think this one's in the cards at all.

    It's not, unfortunately. Just for the record, although Martinez doesn't sell tickets like the most popular guys do, he doesn't sell much less than the average non-American/Mexican champ does e.g. Maidana or Matthysse or Caballero etc.
