It is called 'taking care of business' and Erik Morales is guilty of this as well. The difference is that Cotto's fight this weekend was originally supposed to be against Margarito. Never mind the fact that this announcement is being made a few weeks before this weekend's fight and not a few weeks after this weekend's fight was officially announced. There is no room for losing focus at this point. Judah and Morales lost focus months before their 'tune-up' fights.
