Is It Possible To Duck Someone Who Never Calls You Out?

[Scott9945]

Boxing matches aren't made by who calls who out. They are made by public demand and by earning them. This tactic of defense by Floyd's loyal fans is just pathetic. If you don't fight the top contenders in your division, you are ducking them.

I wouldn't say Floyd ducked Cotto. But at the same time, he never persued a fight at 147 with him. And when others have asked about the fight he has usually ducked the question or not really answered it..

Again, for all Floyd knows, Cotto doesnt want to fight him since he hasnt said his name, for all we know Cotto could be, should I dare say scared for the lack of a better word, not ready to fight Floyd in his mind. We dont know what Miguel thinks.

How did Cotto get fights with Mosley, Margo, Malignaggi, etc..then. He never called them out, yet those fights got made. Since when is mentioning a fighters name the only way of making the fight?

He would also say, I fight anyone. Or, Ask Arum.

Yes, yes it is.

Mayweather is seasoning Cotto for the time being. He'll eat Cotto when the time is right. The time will be right IF, Cotto gets past Margarito and DLH. Too bad, people can't understand that. And yes I agree with what you just said, In Mayweather's mind, Cotto doesn't want to fight him because Cotto isn't pushing for this fight.

What I think will happen is that Arum sees what worked in Hatton calling out Floyd on national tv and he has told Cotto to do the same, so if he gets past Margo, I can almost guarantee you that he will say he wants to fight Floyd and even though its not his style, Arum will probably coach him to say something slick to try and get under Floyd's skin and at the same time embarrass him, remember where you heard it first.

Cotto is too militant. I don't think we will ever see him out of character like that.

Cotto didnt push for the Mosley or Margarito fights either. Does that mean he didnt want to fight them either? I could understand if Cotto had a history of calling boxers out, and when i came to Floyd, he kept his mouth shut, but thats not the case. Cotto has NEVER called anyone out.

[Shalafi]

The reasoning for Floyd fans is since Ricky Hatton called Money out after he beat Castillo and Floyd told his butt-waxer Ellerbe to "Make the ****ing fight happen" they automatically assume that is the case for every fighter. Pathetic isn't it?

[Shalafi]

Oh by the way, not to sound like a broken record but how many times did Tony call out Money and offered him a career high pay day of $8Mill to fight him? and how did that end up for Tony?
