    With that said one could argue that its Up to Cotto to call out the bigger name fighter. Though things do work that way sometimes they don't always have to. Neither guy went after the other so I really don't think there is anyone to blame.

      In th real interview, Floyd Said Ill love to fight a Miguel Cotto but not now

      What Kind of Bull **** is that?

      It took Miguel 11 rounds against Judah, well it took him a full fight and a riot to beat Judah. So you tell me!!!!!

      Good job of editing, who ever made this video.

      Why you didnt put, when he said, I dont do bussines with Arum, then when Floyd said, Miguel is not a big draw.

      After Cotto-Mosley and Hatton-PBF, there was no other way to go than Mayweather-Cotto. What FLoyd did Retire, whos to blame FLoyd.

      At that point, it made Legacy anf financial sense a Cotto fight.

          "He call any other fighter out there...he say talk to his boss..I'm his boss..he need to talk to me..."

          LOL

          He didn't edit that ****..!


          Cotto didn't want the fight and ya'll should be glad it didnt happen..because Cotto would have been slaughtered like the pig he is.

            I don't agree with the underlined but I agree 100% with the bolded. Let me ask you this, Do you think Cotto did anything to REALLY pursue Floyd?

                Cotto is not a legacy building opponent.

                  Not really.

                  They are too proud Mo FOs. Floyd Wanted Cotto to pretty much beg for the fight and Cotto, pretty much said **** you!!!!!!!!!


                  I think in this case, you have to take into considerations that Cotto has never talk smack of or to anyone.

                  Even after the Jennings fight, he didnt even call anybody out, the commentator, went like, who do you want to fight? "And dont tell me you fight who your management" and Cotto said, "well all the big names, a Mosley rematch, Berto,Clottey,Pacquiao, all the big names". That was about it.

                  I mean the perfect time was when Cotto beated Mosley and FLoyd beated hatton, since the DLH rematch fell trough.

                    But the thing is, why did he have to? Floyd aint ******, he knows what the best fight would have been. Floyd needs Cotto to call him names and ****? Hell no. Floyd doesn't get rattled like that. He has everything planned, he knew he would never fight Cotto, and that's fine.

                    I just hate this Cotto didn't actively pursue. He said he wanted to fight him, he made that clear several times. But because he didn't go further than that it's like "oh clearly he didn't want it because he didn't call Floyd a *****". ****'s ridiculous.

                    Cotto wanted to fight. Floyd wasn't hot on it. Floyd didn't duck him, he just didn't feel that it made financial sense at the time, and Cotto is too proud to go chasing him around like JMM is Pac so he said **** it. End of story.

                      After the Mosley fight I feel Cotto was in a position to defiantly help legacy. If Floyd retires after fighting Cotto some but not all of his critics would have no choice but to be silent.
