Why isn't Cotto calling out mayweather...

[amat]

I disagree.

If Cotto continues undefeated and Mayweather doesn't face him, it WILL go down on his resume. Ducking accusations are something that don't shake with time. For every Sugar Ray there is a Charley Burley, so I do think that unless he is fine with the calls of ducking, he better either face Cotto or hope Cotto is made to look bad sometime within the next year or so.

Funny how no one remembers neither Chris Eubank nor Nigel Benn fighting James Toney and Eubank admittingly trying his best NOT to fight Roy Jones.

Neither of their legacies are hurt because even without facing each other they went on to become legendary fighters in their own rights.

What do they have to do with this? That's a bit different of a situation as they were both older and Jones and Toney young. They weren't fights literally EVERYBODY was calling for. If you don't want to see Cotto-Mayweather then you don't really need to be watching boxing. And you'll find some people who remember that whole debacle.

For one, it's very well noted that Eubank never fought across the Atlantic in America. And Benn's legacy isn't really defined by him being the best, it's defined by the great fights he had.

When you say you are the best and one of the greatest of all time then you are expected to fight the best. Leonard takes heat for supposedly ducking Pryor, this would go down exactly the same imo, except that this would actually be legitimate. Make no mistake about it, unless Cotto gets demolished sometime soon, this will go down right with Mayweather and would instantly be called one of the biggest avoiders of all time as fair as that may or may not be.
