While the 34 year old Cotto has certainly achieved beyond all expectation – being the only Puerto Rican to win world titles in four weight classes, his latest comments will not inspire any hope in fans desperate to see the sought after clash with Kazakh IBF/WBA 160 lb champion, Gennady Golovkin, should he first come past Alvarez in Las Vegas on the 21st.
