On Tuesday afternoon a media day was held at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood centering on Miguel Cotto, who defends his WBC middleweight belt versus Daniel Geale at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York. There is a lot of speculation that if he should come out victorious, he will face Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez next.

But true to form, Cotto makes it clear that his career moves are ultimately left up to him.

"I don't have pressure on me, I'm always going to do what I'm going to do. I'm always going to do the best for my family, for me,"he said to the gathered press, as he was getting his hands wrapped by Marvin Somodio."I don't think and I don't care about what people say about my career. The only person who dictates what happens in my career is me."

It's been widely speculated that HBO would not have agreed to televise the Geale fight without some sort of commitment from Cotto that he would face 'Canelo' in the fall.

Cotto did say - "We believe after this fight, we have a verbal agreement with HBO, a verbal agreement with Golden Boy Promotions but we'll see what happens after this fight.''
