Miguel Cotto says Floyd Mayweather Jr will have to Answer

[Diane]

Well to be fair Mar, Cotto and Margarito were both asked about Mayweather, so they gave answers. Bob Arum is the only one that brought up Mayweather out of the blue. Everything that was stated in the first post here, came from Arum, not Cotto.

Here is what Margarito and Cotto had to say when asked about Mayweather.



Neither fighter had anything good to say about Floyd Mayweather, Jr., however.

“I have to focus on Saturday night,” said Margarito. “I don’t know what’s going through Mayweather’s mind. I don’t know if he’s playing. It doesn’t matter.

“But do I think he’ll return? . . . I think he’ll be back.”

Cotto had a similar take on Mayweather’s “retirement.”

“I can’t force anybody to face Miguel Cotto,” said Cotto. “I’m here to face the big names.

“But, in ten years, they’ll ask him what the reason was that he did not face Miguel Cotto. Me, I never say never. I don’t know what passes through his mind, but that’s his business. He will probably be back.”

Yea Arum just being a dik by the sounds of it... Floyd is retired let him be, just like Mar said forge your own legacy

I love how Cotto refer's to himself in the 3rd person.

Why even bring up Mayweather when one of the toughest fights in the careers of both men is happening in two days.

Well, you know the press, they have to stir things up, so they keep on asking the same $hit about Mayweather.

I think Floyd is very talented but by no stretch of the imagination is he anywhere close to being the best as he has never unified a division and therefore never fought the best guys in any weight class he's ever been in ergo he's not close to being the best

i didnt mean the best fighter in the world but of our era yea i would say he is the best some of the guys he gets no credit for fighting had belts and where good fighters at one point cotto never faught the best of any weight class either and for some one moving in weight so quick he went for the belts but i would exspect some one to say somthing like you just said but your probly also the type to give cotto credit for beating gomez or pac man credit for beating david diaz
