Any of which, IMO, would carry more weight the a Cotto vs Jcc Jr fight. But again, maybe not as much money.!
It's just odd to me because so many people were down on Martinez for wanting a fight with Cotto. The argument was Martinez was picking on smaller men. However, if Martinez goes up to 160 for a fight with Chavez Jr., that argument goes out the window. The WBC has stated that the winner of Chavez Jr./Zbik should fight Martinez. Zbik has signed on; Chavez Jr. has not. Chavez Jr. would have to relinquish his belt to fight Cotto so it wouldn't be for a belt at 160.

From what I thought, Jcc Jr is with Arum. And Arum knows ho wto get his fighter(s) to fight each other for whatever title available. Zbik signed on because, Arum is not giving him a chance to win or fight Cotto should he win. And with all the politics in boxing, do you really think if Cotto move up to 160, it won't be for a title? They just might make it for the Silver Championship(whatever that means).
Sadly, that is likely the case.
