At a press conference on Wednesday to help hype Saturday's highly anticipated HBO match up between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, Promoter Bob Arum was on hand.

At the conference Arum made it clear what he thought of retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Arum blasted Mayweather Jr. for not having anything that could hurt Cotto and assured those in attendance that Cotto is the reason Mayweather Jr. abruptly retired.

In regards to a Cotto vs Mayweather Jr. fight, Arum stated: "Miguel would run him out of the ring." Arum went on to add: "He has nothing to hurt Miguel with. Miguel drove him into retirement."

I thought Arum wanted fighters to stop talking trash?? I guess he doesn't hold himself to the same standard.

I didn't know there was a fight to promote.

There isnt, but if trash talking from Hatton brought Floyd out of retirement, then maybe the same will happen if Arum continues to pull Floyd's strings.

Needs to come from Cotto. Arum isn't lacing up gloves anytime soon.

Why so Floyd can school Cotto?? it would happen, it just would! Arum has a personal hate for Floyd anyway...

I think Cotto's stardom will speak for itself when he's recognized eventually as the #1 fighter in the world. Floyd won't wanna give up that crown...
