If the right circumstances come, for example Cotto beating Mosley and Floyd beating Hatton, I hope De La Hoya convinces ($$$) Millie and fight Cotto, although De La Hoya doesn't need the money. This will be a great opportunity for Cotto to keep moving closer and closer to the Hall of Fame in the future after he retires and make his bank account to growth. I'm pretty sure this would be a great fight and De La Hoya will remember his fight with Hopkins. May be this is what made De La Hoya make that promise to Millie.
