Miguel Cotto: "If Mayweather Don't Want Me, It Doesn't Matter"

[FromAfrica]

I was one of the many people that wanted Cotto to call out Mayweather just to make that fight "happen" but now that I think about it, Cotto has no need to call out someone who has no interest in fighting him at this point or ever. If the fight happens, it will happen, and Mayweather will be the one who comes out and says it, Miguel knows this and he is just looking for bigger fish to fry, I really can't blame him anymore for this. Cotto is a very conceited and prideful man, so I don't see him calling anyone out because he feels superior than the rest.

i think this is the problem......mayweather i bet thinks the same way and says **** that i aint calling him out....and cotto is thinking the same way like i aint calling him out **** that...so how is the fight going to be made?

i guess us fans gotta keep asking for this fight,larry merchant putting them on the spot,interviewers keep asking,we keep making threads,shirts,gifs,avatars,signs and alot of other **** and just hope they make this fight.

lol.....just wanted to write sumthing...im fluckin bored.

Both men have credibility & respect. Cotto doesn't talk about Mayweather, Mayweather doesn't talk about cotto. Regardless, they will meet sooner or later, believe me. But They are not afraid of each other, why do you guys assume that?

It's called GRASPING AT STRAWS. It's pathetic to say the least.

The same question was asked to both fighters.

Interviewer: "Floyd will u fight Miguel Cotto"

Floyd: "-Who's Miguel Cotto
-Cotto's too green
-He doesnt bring anything to the table
-Im not impressed with him
-His HBO ratings against Gomez were low
-Cotto needs to become a CEO before i consider fighting him
-Cotto needs to establish his own fanbase (whatever the hell that means)
-Cotto needs to be on the level of a Floyd Mayweather before i fight him
-I wont do business with Arum because he's a grumpy old man
-Im retired
-Im focusing on being a promoter right now
-I have nothing else to prove in the sport, i've done what i had to do
-He know's that i'll beat him
-He wont get past Mosley
-He wont get past Judah


Interviewer: "Cotto, will u fight Floyd Mayweather"

Cotto: "I'll fight anybody they put in front of me. If its Floyd, i'll fight him"


There's only 1 fighter here who seems very reluctant to step in the ring with the other. Yes, Cotto has yet to literally call Floyd out and say that he wants to fight him, but at the same time, he has never said that he wont when asked. Seems to me that one is willing to step in the ring, while the other is making up numerous excuses not to.

Cotto doesn't want to play into Floyd's game. Margarito called his ***** ass out and Floyd blatantly ducked him, Cotto is not going to do the same. Floyd's mind is made up he doesn't want to fight Cotto and he wants to take easy paydays against DLH and Hatton. Calling out Mayweather isn't going to do ****.

I dont know why certain people dont seem to realize that. Margarito went as far as interupting one of Floyd's press conferences, and went up in Floyd's face to ask him for a fight. What did that get Margarito? Banned from all of Floyd's future pressers! LOL. Cotto could call Floyd out tonight, and all we'll here is the same old excuses that's been coming out of his mouth whenever he's asked about a potential fight with Cotto.

That's a great observation, and it has to be killin Mayweather - since he's confronted with the question everywhere he goes. Cotto is playing this game very well.

[Boricua6]

What a jerk.

Unstead of calling out Floyd, he tries to persuade public that his fight against the P4P best and the only true elite fighter in WW besides Cotto himself doesn't matter.

It DOES matter, you puffed up PR boy.

if it pisses you off that Cotto's not callin him out - imagine what Mayweather is feeling - pretty disrespected huh? Miguel is playing games with Floyd's ego - love it!

[Boricua6]

According to Mayweather, he fought Hatton because Hatton started talking.

If Cotto starts talking, Mayweather has to fight him in order to be a man of his words.

Seriously bro - Mayweather saw the UK $$$$$$$ coming into Vegas, and a low threat fight.

That's what propelled the fight - Floyd wouldn't have even entertained the fight without those conditions.

Cotto talks about Floyd not wanting to fight him, saying he doesn't have to call Floyd out or even talk about Floyd, BRAINS at work here! Since he was talking about Floyd WHY NOT JUST CALL HIM OUT, or not say **** like BEFORE!
