LEONARD ELLERBE: "We Begged for the Cotto Fight!"

[Big_L]

At the end of the day, when he was given his chance he("his people") didnt take it. His only notable W was against ssm. Then when he had the opportunity to catapult himself into megastardom, he and his ppl/camp blew it!

cotto was not offered the fight after mosley. ellerbe is talking about back in 05 at 140 when cotto was still green.

Fact: Floyd carefully picks who would be a suitable opponent for him. Cotto is not suitable for whatever reason.

Fact: Cotto will fight any fighter placed in front of him. Reputation does not matter. He wants the fights to happen and leaves his promoter to line them up.

Fact: Cotto does what is supposed to be done in this sport. He is good for the sport and has earned his fanbase the correct way. He'll fight anyone.

Fact: Floyd and his game playing is tantamount to thieving from the sport. If you want to be the best or call yourself the best, fight the rest. Floyd and his fans claim he is on some special pedistal and he can do whatever he likes. They claim he is megapopular, but that he cannot fight anyone else unless they are megapopular giant PPV attractions also. I'm some glad Duran, Holyfield, Tyson, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Ali, Arguello and other fighters that were on pedistals, never shared that same train of thought.
