Cotto Speaks on Mosley Bout, Mayweather

[borikua]

Floyd wanted to fight Cotto and Arum/Team Cotto wanted none of it.

That. Is. A. Fact.

Did Floyd write up a contract? No. Did Haymon approach Arum about a fight? Yes.

When that was? 2-3 years ago? Get the *** out with that ****...

At the end, if Cotto beats Mosley and Floyd beats Hatton, EVERYONE will want to see Cotto-Floyd...Let's see if pretty boy fights him or goes back to "retirement".

[MIAMI CANE]

HE NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT SUGAR SHANE, AND STOP GOING THE HATTON ROUTE TO GET TO FLOYD. all he has to do is keep winning and the public will demand it.

They were both at 140. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Hey Domi, you are talkin out of your culo man, when did Floyd made an offer to Cotto?

Am I? Then I'm not the only one. Claro. Everyone is lying except for Miguel....right? The reality is that Cotto knew that he was gonna get the Bruseles treatment.

Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.

Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.

Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.

Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.

That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.

There were others, including undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah, but they couldn't come close to contract terms.

And boxers know there are two ways to get out of a fight: simply by saying no, as Hatton did, or by asking for more money than promoters will be able to pay.

cotto was never offered a fight

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

cotto was never offered a fight

He was. Arum famously said that he "wouldn't put Cotto near any ring that Mayweather was in". True Story. Also, read the previous post.

Did you just start watching boxing for "The World Awaits"?

[Del Coqui]

Too much discussion on the past going on... I think future has better and brighter things, if PBF wins as well as Cotto, this would be a great fight! Wonder if Cotto will still be considered "too green" or would be a worthy mandatory?

[eric maldonado]

he was never offered the fight.they asked bob arum if he would put cotto to fight floyd.it was just a question it was not a offer.and that was when floyd fought brusseles

Now Cotto is saying PBF runs?? I used to be a huge fan of Cotto. Now I'm starting to dislike him. Just like when Paul Malignaggi said PBF can beat SRR. These fighters are starting to talk out their ass.

Have you heard all the trash PBF has talked about Cotto? Its the name of the game.
