They wanted that fight for awhile. But Cotto turned it down. No way he can turned it down now

Quit your idiotic double standards. Canelo "wanted" Cotto when he had nothing to offer but a bloated record. He wanted Cotto after he (Canelo) beat Josesito. Who had Canelo beaten up to then? How did Canelo merit a fight vs. the future Hall of Famer Cotto, with 100 times the resume Canelo had/has?

The up and coming challenger doesn't set the rules or conditions. The veteran who has earned his stripes does. You know that. Well... maybe I'm giving you too much credit. The fight wasn't economically viable until Canelo beat or at least fought some credible opposition. He beat Trout.... fine. That was a good fight for Canelo. Then he got shut out by Floyd 10 times worse than Miguel ever did.

Still.... the economics are there now. NOW it's worth Miguel's while to fight Canelo. Not before. Of course, if the situations were reversed (Canelo was the veteran, future HOF'er, and Cotto was the up and coming young fighter)..... you'd be saying exactly what I'm saying.

THAT'S why it stinks of double standard.
But go ahead....... start with the insults.
It's the only goddam thing you know how to do.

Do me a favor. If you got nothing productive to say, STFU.
