    Default Why isn't Cotto calling out mayweather...

    i'm starting to like Cotto, but what pisses me off is all this shit about how mayweather is said to be ducking Cotto, yet once again after a bit win you don't see him calling HIM out...

    Yes yes i know the fan boys will come out with "it's not in Cotto's style" but thats bullshit, in this sport 9 times out of 10 nothing is handed to you, you have to get out there and freaking take it. Cotto could have and SHOULD have called out floyd right then.

    Now don't mistake me in a way that i'm trying to say Cotto doesn;t realy want that fight, i honestly believe he would welcome it. But if he really, REALLY wants it he needs to start sounding like it, he isn't a fucking dog, so he needs to stop talking about his handlers take care of things!

    Well see if COTTO calls out Floyd then Floyd holds the cards and can get all the money he wants, and the gloves he wants, and can get the ref he wants, and the venue he wants and the HUGE ring he wants


    If FLOYD calls out Cotto then Miguel has SOME sway over what the hell is going to happen in making the fight happen.


    It's all boxing politics....I figure Arum is telling him the same thing behind closed doors, he's not a TOTAL moron

    cotto doesn't whore himself out there and beg for shyt plus he just does his job. Then goes back to training. he lets the business be handled by the business guys. all he does is his part. he knows people know a fight with floyd is a must. his smart enough to be calm and patient. Im sure arum and cotto know what they are doing.

    thats bullshit, Mayweather is the undipusted WW champion, he holds all the freaking cards. Everyone knows mayweather doesn't call anyone out, noone at the top of their game calls out people in their devision, they get called out.

    Mayweather is the coward and Cotto does want to fight Mayweather.

    "He runs from the really good boxers and chases other things. I don't know how people in boxing support him as being first in the pound-for-pound rankings."


    LONG LIVE MIGUEL COTTO!! SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T DUCK.

    The fans, the public, the money, the freakin industry needs to call this fight out eventually, and Mayweather will have to listen..

    I agree that if after every one of Cotto's destroyings, he got on that mic, pointed to the camera, and told Floyd he's coming for him to F him up, then it would probably help his cause for this fight...
    But how many fighters actually do that.. Not many unless they probably already have talks in the works, and they want to start hyping it up.

    I get what you're saying though Preme. Definetly... It may come to that eventually as well, if there is no one left, and Cotto needs to prove he is P4P number 1...

    It does depend on who is going after who....whether you like it or not the guy the crowd wants to see fight is COTTO and not Floyd and that paired with Floyd going after Cotto it means that Miguel Cotto can leverage all of his popularity and if he beats Margarito he'll have 2 belts at welterweight and that's even more leverage.

    Miguel Cotto is at the top of his game he's beaten better competition at welterweight than Floyd has and he's KO'd a lot more guys than Floyd and he's won in more dominating fashion

    What would be the point of calling out Floyd who already has a fight scheduled? And fights are not made based on who yells someone else's name, they are made by going out, fighting and earning a shot. Ask Margarito, he barked and barked but stayed in the doghouse and out of the ring and people don't demand fights based on talk they demand it after seeing a guy in the ring. Cotto, better then most anyone, let's his gloves do the talking and absolutely nobody should complain about that.

    Exactly. Cotto is calling Floyd out the old fashioned way, eliminating all the competition and wilkl eventually giv him nowhwere to hide.

    NewsFlash: floyd is no longer at the top of the ww division for all those who havent realized.

    Cotto is the #1 guy.

    We all know floyd craves attention and Cotto is not gonna be the one to give it to him. He'll just keep winning and building his own legacy. (a real legacy at that)

    Everyone with even an ounce of common sense knows that floyd is not gonna take any chances so why waste time and effort trying to lure a guy into the ring that is too afraid.

    You guys wanna argue that he needs to call him out or whatever but all you have to do is look at floyds history in regards to not taking fights he thinks are too tough. Margarito tried and wasted time in his career waiting for floyd to come out of his chicken suit and it never happened so Cotto is just gonna keep his own career on track and let his fight game do the talking.

    Hey Preme , Cotto in the local journal in an interview he said , that he dont going waste more his time calling PBF , becuse he commented; " For what i going waste time calling a person that really dont want fight me , i going still looking foeward for fight with who want fight me with other big names and thats all "..........that was his expresion my friend and thats why he didnt call anyone........He doing right........
    That its what going comes now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Coming from a Calzaghe fan Maybe Cotto is perfectly content with the way he is being handled, and doesn't really feel he should fight Mayweather until he can demand a higher share of the revenue, since he's doing just fine with the way his career has gone. I've never gotten the impression that Cotto really cares who he fights anyways.

    Cotto won't call Mayweather out because he ain't Zab Judah or Shane Mosely he's a lot better than them Cotto is'nt ready for Mayweather yet in my opinion and Cotto and his team know it.
