Cotto vs. Marquez Back in Play: Their Teams Are Back in Talks

[Ruthless-RKO]

Cotto has confirmed that Marquez's team has indeed reached out to him and the two sides are discussing the idea of staging that fight.

"The team members behind Marquez are communicating with us, and they know our level of professionalism," said Cotto to Jose Sanchez.

The two sides were in talks for several months last year. Their negotiations fell apart after both boxers were unable to get on the same page regarding the catch-weight.

Marquez wanted the fight to take place at the welterweight limit of 147-pounds, while Cotto was firm on the contest taking place somewhere around the middleweight limit - between 150 to 154.
