Arum on Cotto's Options: Chavez, Canelo, Martinez, More Empty Arum on Cotto's Options: Chavez, Canelo, Martinez, More

WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto plans to rest and spend time with his family for the next couple of weeks. After the holidays are over, Cotto is going to sit down with Top Rank to discuss the next move for his career. Cotto's contract with Top Rank expires on December 31st. The Puerto Rican superstar has already pledged to remain with Top Rank until the end of his career.

"Bob Arum is my promoter and he will always be my promoter," Cotto said.

Arum would like to match Cotto against WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but went over some of the other possible names being thrown around, like Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Sergio Martinez.

"Cotto deserves to fight for another title and Chavez, Jr. is a good choice. It could be for the spring of next year, probably in Las Vegas. Forget Mayweather, Jr., for now. He wants to fight [Manny] Pacquiao and we are focused on making this fight. Canelo is still too young to fight Cotto and Sergio Martinez could be an interesting fight, but he plans to fight on March 17. We'll see. Let's take one thing at a time," Arum told Lester Jiminez.

he wants to dangle a 4th championship belt in front of Cotto and ask him to face Chavez Jr. If I'm Cotto I say fine, but Chavez Jr. can't weigh more than 170 pounds the night of the fight. That probably ends that fight discussion right there.

If Arum thought Cotto had 4-5 fights left in him over a 2 yr period, he wouldn't mention Chavez, but because he feels like cotto could be much closer to done than that, he is willing to stick him in there with the young Chavez.

IT IS WIN-WIN FOR ARUM!!!!!. He makes a ton of money. If Cotto wins he'll angle for another big PPV. If Chavez Jr. wins then Arum will have legitimized his Mexican cash cow.

If Freshman was here he'd be saying why isn't Williams an option.

I'm Paul Williams. Even though nobody comes to my fights and my fights get terrible ratings, pay me!
