First of all, I would like to thank you Mr. Mellow Mood, I'd like to thank you for taking your time for typing as I am aware you have better things to do since you are a father(If i'm not mistaken). In all honesty I appreciate you giving an answer like this to my thread.
Unfortunately, I have a shorter answer for you, Mr. Mellow Mood.
"I agree 100%, boxing is a business and I believe there is no such thing as ducking. Fighters want the biggest money fights out there, even the one's that look like they're fighting for legacy, that's BS, they want the money. Boxing is a job more than a sport for most of these boxers"
The reason I quoted you on that thread is because you said the truth, it wasn't because I wanted to put you on the spot or anything like that. I wanted other posters to see your response to "why Cotto won't fight Wiliams". You gave a response that I wanted to read, you didn't give any BS response like several other Cotto fans do. Now, the reason i loved your response, is because the same response can be applied for Floyd Mayweather Jr as to why he is only looking for the big fights. BUT, it's not applied to Floyd, why?, I don't know, but it does. The answer you gave in that thread, should be applied to every other fighter instead saying he "ducked" this fighter or "ducked" that fighter.
Why should have Floyd fight Cotto after the DLH fight?
(I'm going to apply your answer on this one)
MAYWEATHER had way more lucrative fights out there for him with less risk.
Let's see
De La Hoya vs Mayweather II: At least $30 Mill
Hatton vs Mayweather: Mayweather got $20 Mill(in total)
Cotto vs Mayweather: Mayweather was just involved in the biggest PPV boxing event, selling 2.4 Mill PPV's. What has Cotto done(numbers-wise) to take DLH's/Hatton's place for a fight with Floyd, when Mayweather was being offered a guaranteed $20 Mill for a rematch with Oscar while this Cotto hype was going on?
You don't have to answer that, you already did.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for being honest on why Cotto won't fight Paul Williams.
Peace.
