Why does Floyd get the blame for the Cotto fight never happening?

[Fox McCloud]

I do remember Cotto saying he is going to go on with his career and not wait around. I know the interview you are talking about. My problem with that is he never made any noise about fighting Floyd in the first place. Both guys always seemed fairly complacent about the fight not happening.

By the way... I just want to say that I'm impressed that you are willing to look beyond an agenda and say things like, "I remember that interview".

Deja Vous wouldn't do that to save his own ****ing life.

God damn nuthuggers are running wild today.

That all goes back to my point that no one was ducked. People like to say the word duck because it adds fuel to an argument. Either we should blame both guys are neither of them.

Floyd did not have to run behind Cotto's broke ass for a fight..

If Cotto wanted the fight it was up to HIM to make it known...it worked for Hatton.

What worked for Hatton was the money he brings.

You really think Floyd is gonna let someone get under his skin like that? He doesn't give a **** about any of that, he was after money. I don't blame him at all, there's nothing wrong with that. But don't say "oh that worked for Hatton", what Hatton said didn't mean ****. It's all about the money and Cotto did not bring nearly as much money as Hatton at the time.

Like I said bro I'm a fan of both. I'm a fan of the truth and the sport before any individual fighter. thanks for the props.

Neither fighter ducked eachother.......

The only problem i have is Cotto calling out Pacquiao and yet he never once called out Floyd

Arum never put an offer forward, Floyd got tired of the sport and retired.

It's just one of those fights that never happened that should have because of many different reasons.

Floyd is obviously going to get the hate because he was at the top of the sport while Cotto wasn't at that level

Seriously mate, just leave it be... these kinda threads always start arguments, no disrespect just a heads up.

I can't argue with that...lol.

Stop it...LOL

Kellerman:

"Are you willing to fight Mayweather Jr.."

Cotto:

"I fights who my managements tells me who to fights"

Kellerman: (looking into the camera and shrugging his shoulders)

"Well...i tried.."


LOL

THAT is what happened.

No that is not what happened. I assume you guys are talking about the end of the Jennings fight. Kellerman asked him who he wanted next and before he could even answer, Kellerman said "and don't say I'll fight who they put in front of me". He then made a comment about if Mayweather was to come out of retirement would you fight him and Cotto hesitantly said sure, I would fight him. Kellerman was then like, Floyd, if you are watching on TV......blah, blah.

The point is Kellerman put the words into Cotto's mouth and I think it is not Cotto's style to talk smack. If they never fought, it was due to his management team on Cotto's side of things.

Mayweather said i'm "right here, talk to me, You see him calling everyone one else out telling everyone to talk his boss he aint ever called me out talk to me im mr HBO himself tell me what's going on" damn u want more than that?????????????????? wtf like seriously. AND he downplayed his wiin over Judah saying Judah came off 400 something days and still busted cottos face. Lmao wow u people r funny when faced with the truth.

I'm not saying that he should have chased Cotto. I just wanted to see the fight and think people are wrong to say Floyd ducked Cotto.
