Cotto Rips GGG's Resume

I must repeat this: Given the absurdity of the situation he is into, Cotto isn't seeking to get "respect"... He's only after a huge payday from selling his "lineal belt" to the highest bidder... namely Floyd -- in his dreams, in his fens dreams and in Floyd's fans dreams, a.s.o... Floyd fans are dreaming for a Cotto fight? Since when? I think that is only in YOUR dreams. I do agree that Miguel wants to cash out though. Not just against Floyd, Canelo would do nicely as well. The sad fact for Golovkin fanboys is that GGG doesn't bring anywhere near the same amount of money to the table that they do.

He's only after a huge payday from selling his "lineal belt" to the highest bidder... namely Floyd -- in his dreams, in his fens dreams and in Floyd's fans dreams, a.s.o... I understand this completely. I only wish that Cotto's fans did as well. If Cotto is not looking for respect as a champion, I am more than happy not to give him any and to continue watching his fans get their panties in a twist trying to defend him. They should wake up and realize that Cotto has as little respect for his fans as I have for him.

He refuses to fight GGG and he refuses to give a straight answer to the question when asked. Those are not the actions of a brave or honorable champion. All he has to do is say "Yes, I will honor my championship requirements and accept my mandatory defense after I have had my voluntary." Or "I have no intention of defending against Gennady Golovkin as I have decided that the middleweight division is not where I am best suited and I will vacate the title and return to 154." Giving vague responses and avoiding the real answers is a sign of cowardice. Be a man and admit that you do not belong in this division or be a man and accept the responsibilities of being a MW champion and fight the best in the division. Either will gain my respect. Doing neither will earn him the label of coward. Cotto will gain more respect by fighting GGG and losing or by vacating the title and dropping to 154 than by ducking him.

Golovkin's best win is still khomitsky.

Cotto is just that way. He does not like to go beyond the "whatever is good business, I will consider," mode. He is not one to call the newspapers to complain etc. He keeps his business close and does not seem to concern himself with being camera friendly etc. It is what it is. They can't all be media friendly happy go lucky types. Neither does GGG. You never see him insulting other fighters or really calling them out 'old style' by challenging them in public. The smart ass twitter 'bet' from JCC Jr. would never have come from GGG. But when he is asked who he wants to fight next, he responds clearly and honestly. Even when it is a ridiculous questions like whether or not he would be willing to fight Mayweather if the opportunity arose, he will answer it honestly. No trash talk, never puts a possible opponent down. Cotto and his team, on the other hand, are quite willing to disparage GGG by commenting on the number of people attending his fight in Monaco, not being bright enough to realize that the net worth of those 900 people is probably more than the crowd of almost 20,000 who will see Floyd-Manny live. And they also make foolish comments such as Roach saying that he never sees GGG on television. Maybe he should turn the damn thing on now and then and he would realize that the fighter no one ever sees is Cotto. I understand crap like that coming from fans who really don't know any better, or from a fighter and his camp when they are preparing to fight someone. But Cotto and Roach should STFU when it comes to Golovkin because it just makes them look worse and more cowardly with every comment they make.

if the fight gets made it will prob be better to do it months apart from the may-pac, june was too soon anyways, hopefully we get it this time... Agree 100%

See we were having such an interesting discussion then you went and called the most exciting fighter (second only to Pac) in the last ten years a coward. You do realize that Ricans are Cotto fans because he is one of us, but do you know why non Ricans are fans of his? I'll tell you why because he is a warrior and has probably never been in a boring fight, never ducked anyone and has spilled his blood, sweat and tears in the ring all for the enjoyment of boxing fans. He refuses to fight GGG and he refuses to give a straight answer to the question when asked. Those are not the actions of a brave or honorable champion.

And I agree with you on this, only I wanted to avoid the whole, he left the negotiations first argument it's been argued at nausea. I think the whole argument is non important now because they supposedly are negotiating again to fight in the fall. I think the Canelo fight is way bigger then the GGG fight for Cotto and I am in the minority when I say that both Cotto and Canelo have good chances in beating GGG. Cotto can because of experience he has fought all the different styles available and Canelo has youth and also has fought almost every style already. if the fight gets made it will prob be better to do it months apart from the may-pac, june was too soon anyways, hopefully we get it this time...

more like he was waiting for floyd or roc nation, regardless of what canelo could possibly offer...

and you are ok with that? that was back on the days when sergio was calling for big paydays trying to get them at 154, canelo wasnt even after sergios title... if sergio was to make the weight comfortable then 157 was a reasonable cw... and by the way canelo was only 22 at the time... i mean at some point sergio even offered 150 for floyd...

canelo said he wanted sergio at 157 or somewhere in between 154-160 , and that was before the murray fiasco when cotto was still ducking sergio, sergio came back with roadblocks like 160 and hbo or no fight... and you are ok with that?

He will have two other title holders left to defeat. Then once he has unified the division, all middleweights will have to fight him if they want recognition. Once there is no one left to fight, he will move up to SMW and do the same thing. By the time his career is done, he will have become the unified, undisputed champion in both the MW and SMW divisions and that will be more than enough to get him into the HOF. There is also a very good chance that he achieves this and remains undefeated. Neither Cotto nor Canelo will ever have the balls to fight Golovkin. Canelo is waiting for him to move to SMW before fully moving into the MW division and Cotto will retire if he has to to avoid getting his ass severely beaten in the ring. By the way... Loeffler has stated that they are ready to accept just about any terms that Cotto would propose for a fight and Cotto still has never approached them. COWARD.

You know what your right, they gave into everything Cotto demanded and that's probably why the fight didn't happen because Cotto being the diva he is, he's probably not use to getting everything he asks for and this shocked him into silence. more like he was waiting for floyd or roc nation, regardless of what canelo could possibly offer...

Actually I would be cool with Clucko getting stripped, fighting Ginger in a big money fight minus the title (because Canelo/Cotto is big even without a title in play) while your man and The WBC sit on the sidelines looking in. Which reminds me who will your man chase after then, for the opportunity to launch him self into PPV stardom? Oh I forgot you said he doesn't need to chase anyone because the title is attached to some leash which will be attach to his neck. It sure will be fun to see him run towards the possibility of fighting Cotto or Canelo for big money only to be snapped back by your imaginary leash.

of course they couldnt reach an agreement... no matter what there was no response... You know what your right, they gave into everything Cotto demanded and that's probably why the fight didn't happen because Cotto being the diva he is, he's probably not use to getting everything he asks for and this shocked him into silence.

You are going to be so disappointed when Clucko gets stripped.

And Gaby said we couldn't reach an agreement so you and I will choose to believe what and who we wish. of course they couldnt reach an agreement... no matter what there was no response...

And then you woke up and realized that what keeps Mauricios blood pumping is big money fights. Cotto will fight his voluntary and then defend his titles including the WBC belt against Ginger. There goes your imaginary leash, which by the way is in fact permanently attach to big money. You are going to be so disappointed when Clucko gets stripped.

to save face, yeah right... he said canelo gave him everything they wanted... no need for theories or interpretations, thats all you need to know.. And Gaby said we couldn't reach an agreement so you and I will choose to believe what and who we wish.
