Cotto or Roach never said they'd never fight GGG.
Canelo and Oscar said various things:

1. Canelo would fight GGG "someday".
2. Canelo wouldn't fight GGG at 160. It would have to be at 155.
3. They would let the fight "marinate" (whatever the f*ck that means).


Yet Cotto is the one that catches hell for ducking GGG.

Sounds like sound logic to me.


I like my side of the argument.
Here's the problem with your argument, @TitoFan - Cotto fought Martinez at 159 and Geale at 157. If so, why not fight GGG at 160, or even 159, like Martinez. The only reason not to do so is to avoid him. With Canelo, as far as I'm aware, he's never fought above 155. So, he would be moving up in weight 5 pounds to face GGG. That's a better excuse than Cotto's.
