why does cotto only fight for vacant belts

[el malo]

That's what I'm saying, people keep arguing who Cotto is fighting, but they miss the point that he fights everybody. Arum makes his fights, but Arum is a sharp business man, and makes the smartest moves he can. That's why he had Clottey fighting Judah for one of the Alphabet titles, he knew Judah would lose. Now he has Cotto fighting Jennings for a title, he does it for a reason.

yes sir

Problem I have is that Paul vacated the belt...while Paul has always wanted to fight Cotto and now that the belt is vacant...Cotto is fightin for it. I ain't tryin to start nothing but what does everyone think about that?

i agree, i would like to see paul vs cotto. i guess arum wanted margarito for cotto at that time instead of paul and paul wasn't gona wait

Nah, I know what you mean. I want to see that fight also. But coming off of that loss, with a pending rematch with Tony, Williams was not an option. Arum's not ******, Paul is a big risk. It wouldn't be smart for Cotto to take on Paul right after the loss he suffered. Than Williams vacated and Arum saw a shortcut to a title for his fighter. It's business, and it's Arums call. It's really not on Cotto.

However, that being said, if Cotto beats Tony I will be pissed if he doesn't fight Paul.

Be cool man...I ain't racist

[mellow_mood]

???????strange(not bashing the guy cotto is a good fighter with lots of potential)

yeahh.. one have to wonder.. is like why doesnt the best fighter just prove that hes the best?.. not bashing cos hes the best athlete outhere...!


it seems like is something BUSINESS WISE.

I am not sure, just easier to get the title I suppose. He fights the best fighters either way.

that was more quick than juanma's last three fights!


talking about ko power!

[mellow_mood]

or... maybe is for the same reason that floyd preffers to vacate instead of defend...

who knows??

Es la verdad. Los Domincanos siempre son asi.


All I am saying is their only hero is a fraud who fights 3 weights below his true weight.
