we discussed this plenty of times, no need for excuses , i just want to know what the general consensus is among boxing fans and not just fanboys of either side...
if you think neither is ducking then clearly this thread is not for you...
Cotto isn't "ducking" so much as selling his MW title to the highest bidder since he knows he won't be able to keep/defend it.
He probably overestimated how much Canelo was willing to bid and negotiations fell apart, is looking to Floyd now.
It's not really ducking because whether he chooses option A, B, C or D, he's going to lose it anyway. It's just cashing in.
agreed....
Tim Bradley...:rofl::rofl:
Saddest part is they defend that shyt. The time they criticize him doesn't exist. Not sure how anyone on this board respects them or takes them serious. After Mayweather and Pacquiao(OBVIOUS), NSB voted he has the WORST fan base in the sport! :boxing:
The Pac/Floyd fight hasn't been settled and Canelo wanted to move foward.
I don't think there is ducking by any part but more the inpatience in the Canelo side. But who is to blame him when he has been waiting for a while already when the Clottey fight got cancelled
I can agree with this ^^^. I don't think there was any ducking. Niether guy is afraid of the other. It's more the situation of $$ than anything.

why would cotto take a fight may 2nd if Floyd-Pac happens, Cotto stated in past he wants full attention of Freddy Roach and will not play 2nd fiddle to Pacman
The boxing world is constintly waiting on Floyd the sooner they are out of the game the better
Cotto the Diva clearly ducked the fight.
He declined 10 million in March for the fight. They offered him the fight again, on a big PPV night, and after months of negotiations where Canelo's team gave in to all Cotto's demands, Cotto still would not sign. Canelo had enough and moved on. Can't fight someone who doesn't want it.
Obvious and deduced objective rationalities do not penetrate Miguel Toto fans. In their twisted, delusional experience that they call life, he who does not hold Cotto in high regards is Mexican and/or a hater. There is no other possibility.
For those who label him a glorified journeyman, we hear ya. Keep fighting the good fight! Don't let delusional patriotic Miguel Toto fans bring you down. They didn't have fathers.
Bussiness! Cotto is trying to get the most money. He has no need to prove himself to NSB posters. Yes, I admit it sounds like a poor excuse but I can think of no other reason for his reluctance to sign the fight unless........he is actually scared of a less accomplished 23 year old, in which case.....he is ducking like "Leo Ducky Cruz"!!!!!!!!
eith, if cotto gets paid 10mill + in his next fight then i wouldnt call it a duck either...
you should be asking that to cotto, we all want to know...

nobody is ducking the other.
cotto is the reason the fight isnt happening but its not because he is ducking alvarez, its because he is holding out for mayweather. mayweather is a tougher fight than canelo so its anything but a duck.
Yeah, Mayweather MAY be the tougher fight, but Cotto can't win either fight. And he knows that, deep down. So it's understandable he would hold out for more $$$. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires after his next heart breaking loss.
I think it's understandable for cotto to hold out for a mayweather fight.
Canelo and his team should have considered that there are other factors here other than the "Cotto doesn't want to fight me" angle.
Cotto's manager admitted that it was them who were making demands that killed the fight. He said that Canelo did not cave to their demands yet and that is why they did not agree. Canelo wanted the fight, Cotto didn't. He knew Canelo would beat that ass and take his strap.
Got a link to that info?

Cotto has way better names in his resume win or lose. Why will he be ducking a lesser fighter? Is no like he has to protect he's "0"!

This poll should be accurately named: "What is the percentage of Cotto Haters in this forum?"
Nothing more.
and you are talking about haters, what an irony...
