Miguel Cotto Made Floyd Mayweather Retire, Says Arum

[Live Dog]

Real translation:

Floyd: Im gonna avoid this guy for as long as i can, and make excuses in the process.

Cotto: When they make the fight, i'll be ready, and i'll win.

Official Real Translation:

Floyd: I can think for myself.

Cotto: *reads cue card*

lol a little too defensive there. i'm not taking away from the greatness of Roy Jones Jr. it was just an interesting observation i made which well im probably not the first nor last to make. no need to keep ur panties in a bunch my good boy. there is no need to defend roy jones jr

not defensive at all... your comment had no warrant or no place in this thread. ive heard worse.

if mayweather were to beat the winner of this weekends fight i would never have a bad thing to say about him ever again and he would earn his place as one of the greats of all time. but until that day happens i consider that man a coward.

Well I cant call any fighter a "coward". But I will always see PBF as a great and the best that ever did it and I want to see him face the winner of these weekends fight (imo cotto) sometime next year. Win or lose I will be satisfied with PBF. Of course I would want him to win, but I would be happy just to see him in the ring with Cotto....

Man, **** Floyd for right now. If he wants to stay retired, **** it. Cotto doesn't need him to solidify his legacy. He'll just continue to fight as he's always done. It's no secret that Cotto would love a fight with Floyd, but he doesn't need to go the extra mile to get it. He's creating his own lane and is doing great so far.

Ummmm buddy. Really maybe you need to reassess what qualifies as a "duck"

That my friend was a duck. Cotto wasn't ready! like I said! When Margo beat Cintron and wanted Cotto.. he said can I fight him now and Arum said don't worry he wants you too. hmmmmmm interesting so this time Cotto wanted the fight... so why the different reaction? He ducked him dude... Bob Arum has never called out Floyd until now... he even said that he wished him the best and blah blah after floyd left. what a *****. Atleast Margo wanted Floyd from the start... He just couldn't generate the marketability of Floyd... Floyd doesn't need to be handing out favors... they need to get on his level and then he'll fight them.. i know this. I think Floyd will come back and fight the winner... I really do. but the money matters must be fair and even....atleast almost even

Floyd: I also cry to myself at night

Cotto: "I cant force Floyd to fight, but in 8-10yrs when the press and people see him, and ask him to give them one reason why he never fought Miguel Cotto, he will have to answer" (actual quote)

of course you have heard worse cause it really wasnt a attack on Roy jones jr cause he had a HOF career. it was just an observation i made you talking about floyd not having the fight anyone spirit which is true and you having the roy jones jr sig n avatar who also had a similar tag on him. i dont think it was really out of place since there was a reason i pointed it out.

Meanwhile Roy Jones is about to fight the #2 p4p fighter in the world, and Floyd is retired at 31... so uh, no... it doesn't fit.

the best that ever did it? thats quite the bold statement i dont think many would agree lol but i will say that if he faced the winner of this fight and won i would maybe consider him top 40. which with all the great boxers in the history of boxing that would be quite the accomplishment for floyd or well any boxer for that matter to be considered and remembered as that great a fighter
