Miguel Cotto Gets Redemption, May Leave Top Rank to Fight Floyd Mayweather

Miguel Cotto sought redemption. It came with a dominating win over Antonio Margarito at Madison Square Garden in their second fight late Saturday night. But as the clock ticked into Sunday morning, hours after Cotto prevailed for the second time as WBA Junior Middleweight champion, the rumors were stronger that he would be seeking justice with promoter Bob Arum.

A source close to Top Rank said, ?This could be the last fight with Cotto for us.? The talk at ringside and, in the Garden press room was more about Cotto leaving Arum for his next fight. That fight would be against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the May 5, 2012 date that has been reported.

The day, and date that Mayweather has claimed, is assumed to be the time of his next fight, with reference to oppose the ?Little Fella? and the anticipated meeting with Manny Pacquiao. However, there is more credibility to comprehend that the opponent could be Cotto.
