By Dan Ambrose: If you’re a fan of WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, you can relax and rest easy knowing that he won’t be fighting WBC middleweight Emeritus champion Sergio Martinez anytime soon if ever. Emanuel Steward, the trainer for Cotto, is reportedly saying that there won’t be a fight between Cotto and Martinez in the near future because of the different promoters that the two fighters work for, according to fighthype.

Cotto-Martinez, John-Gamboa a possibility for 2011 – News
By Chris Williams: The negotiations for a fight between World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and WBA junior middleweight Miguel Cotto are still alive, according to examiner.com. However, if the fight does get made, it won’t be until fall next year after Cotto has already fought someone like Antonio Margarito. By that time, it might not be as nearly as an interesting fight as it is now. The reason is simple. If Cotto takes another pounding from Margarito, which is very possible given how Margarito took Cotto apart last time they fought in 2008, Cotto’s stock will drop off in a huge way.
