False/Misleading thread title removed/user banned.

This is for all the Floyd haters and all the brainwashed people who claim Floyd ducked Cotto.In this ESPN interview with Cotto he admit he had no interest in fighting Floyd back then. Brian Campbell: Most people believe this fight against Mayweather should have taken place five years ago. From your point of view, why hasn't it happened until now? First of all, I'm always available to face everyone. My feeling is that if the fight didn't happen before, then it wasn't right for my case . It is available now and will happen this year on Saturday, May 5, so I am going to be prepared. Was the Mayweather fight one that you pushed for through the years at any point behind the scenes with Bob Arum? Cotto: I never pushed for it at any time before. I would just see what is the best fight that I can get fight by fight. This one is the best one for me now. This is the best chapter in my career so far. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7626156/my-best-biggest-victory Here`s Arum admitting back in 2006 that Floyd asked for 10 million to fight Cotto and would have fought Margarito for 8 millioon dollars if Arum guaranteed him 10 mil for Cotto,10 mil for Hatton, and 20 mil for Oscar: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382 You'll be lucky if I let you ever come back here for lying.:chairshot

People are still arguing whether or not Cotto said he ducked Floyd? Come on... freaking read the damn words he's saying. Not once did he say he avoided Mayweather... freaking people all the time finding secret meanings into what people say... jeebus. so what you're sayin is, you ate the biscuit before finishing the tea?

Nobody ducked anyone....fact is Arum never ever wanted to put Cotto in with Mayweather. Not when he was with Top Rank and NOT when Mayweather left Top Rank. Why is it that we boxing fans get Mayweather-Cotto the moment Cotto leaves Top Rank? It really doesnt matter because at no point then or now could Cotto defeat MAYWEATHER. Not only do we get to see Cotto/Mayweather after Cotto leaves TR, but it's LITERALLY HIS FIRST FIGHT AFTER LEAVING TOP RANK. lol

He just didn't push for certain fights, he fought whoever was put in front of him. Typical Top Rank fighter.

Yawn. Floyd even said he wanted like 8 mill for a Cotto and Hatton bout, and 20 for an Oscar bout. Arum said "There is no money in that" :rofl: Not seeing this quote anywhere. And turbotard has gone quiet. Thats strange....

Try the google. Why not just post the source?

The ESPN article on Mayweather and Margarito back in 07. Arum would only offer him 7 mill for the Hatton and Cotto fights, and wouldn't go near an Oscar fight, which is why Floyd left. I do not see the quote you just posted

Because your troll efforts fail and you end up getting owned? Be gone, then. No mate, you're just beyond help. Like i said, you can't be reasoned with when you're so hard on someone's dick. Its like talking to a brick wall. You cant force someone like you to be objective.

At least Cotto got beat at a weight that was designed to put him at a disadvantage. Pac lost at the weight he was comfortable at :lol1: Yeah....really no point in talking to this guy.

You'd rather Floyd fight a guy who just got outboxed by a lightweight? :lol1: And you'd rather see Floyd fight a guy who got brutally raped and destroyed by the guy that lost to a lightweight

:lol1: Arum wouldn't even put them together in an in-house fight let alone when Floyd had cut himself loose. What does that even mean? Of course he didn't cos Cotto was still coming up. He was at the height of his powers/popularity in 08. You dont make any sense

:lol1: Arum was never willing to do it. He didn't want to put Cotto in with Mayweather when they were both on Top Rank then all of a sudden he leaves Top Rank and now he wants to make the fight? That sounds azz backwards IMO.:lol1: Arum wouldn't even put them together in an in-house fight let alone when Floyd had cut himself loose. Cotto wasn't ready to fight Floyd when they were at 140 in TR together they admitted Cotto was too green at that time that's not what this thread is about at 147, Cotto was primed and ready he beat Shane right before Floyd beat Hatton everyone wanted them to match up except Floyd himself

Sorry, I forgot Arum did talk Floyd/Cotto when Floyd told Arum to take Cotto's diapers off of him and make the fight after he beat Paulie M. What, cos Floyd wanted to get him while he was still coming up as opposed to when he peaked in 08....lol. Another publicity stunt like the Twitter call outs of Pac maybe...so he could say "oh look i tried in 05" :rofl: Like i said, the fight was the hottest in boxing in 08, not 05. And your bf retired. Cant argue with reality

Cotto himself has admitted that he had never spoken with Arum about any Mayweather fight nor were there ever any suggestions or steps in securing a Mayweather fight at any time. It was never on the table, especially after Cotto BARELY beat Mosley. Like Arum was going to let Cotto lose to Floyd next, when Cotto was on the cusp of being his next cash cow. it wasn't on the table because Floyd wouldn't man up he was dismissing any notion of a Cotto fight at every turn can't negotiate with a guy who won't even accept a challenge Arum and Cotto were willing to do it, Floyd wasn't

Where did he say that? You like lying or twisting words, dont you?

What Cotto said was that he never pushed, or shall we say never got interested but, he never said he AVOIDED! I think its clear enough that the word AVOIDED was simply missing or never use during his interview. Anyway, just wait for the fight to take place, and see what Mayweather Jr and Cotto will show!

Dirk_Diggler_UK

no, he was talking it in the fall of 07 if Cotto could beat Mosley. Floyd was the next logical step why you think Cotto ended up fighting Gomez? because Floyd said categorically no Cotto-Mosley winner he wanted to milk Oscar for another payday in a pointless rematch when that didn't happen, he was assed out he announced his "retirement" around June 08 Cotto-Floyd was hot talk by then for several months at that point, Cotto was already set to fight Tony again, why the fuck do you condone this shit? Theres no point trying to reason with turbotard. He thinks fighting Cotto now is just as good and is as good a matchup as Mayweather-Pacquiao. Trust me, you're NEVER getting through to him. His love is too strong...lol

:lol1: Arum only started talking Cotto/Floyd when Floyd was in retirement, never when Floy was active though. How can you be blind to this sh1t? Why lie???
