Did Cotto avoid Floyd Mayweather?

[Bhopreign]

After every fight Cotto would be asked who he wanted to fight next and he always used to say 'I will fight whoever my team puts in front of me.'I dont remember him calling out anyone even though the fight was widely demanded.Hatton was asked who he wanted and he mentioned Mayweather,said some rubbish about Floyd who was 'retired' at the time and got what he wanted.

Marquez said the same and even though it sounded crazy at that time because Floyd was retired,there was a weight issue but he got the fight.We cant say it is a Top Rank rule not to call out other fighters because Clottey calls out fighters everyday.

With that in mind,did Cotto avoid the Floyd fight?

By the way you carefully detailed that I would have to say yes, really and eye opener, thanks.

[S.G.]

Neither avoided the other, neither made a genuine attempt at getting the fight made

B4 I even read the comments Cotto absolutely ducked Mayweather at 140.They watched Floyd dance all over Bruselles' ass and the dismantling of Gatti and wanted none of that. They would all readily admit to that and used excuses like Cotto wasn't ready yet. Now in all fairness Floyd's excuses for not fighting Cotto (and others) have been utter bull****.

Dude you are right, dudes were running for the hills after that Bruseles win. WOW! That's why Tszyu was faking that njury, then he totally threw the fight against Hatton.

floyd was the first to dismantle gatti right? oscar didn't do that right?

Cotto ducked floyd at 140 lbs.

What's your point? Margs not involved in thread. Margs and Cotto don't duck anyone. When Margs fought Clottey, Cotto was just coming up from 140.

I wasn't the one that brought him up first.

you are joking right?

you are joking right?

are u rican??

are u rican??

Nah. The post that you said opened your eyes said that Hatton and JMM called out Floyd and got the fight. He also said that Cotto didn't call out floyd.

Logical responses:
1) A TON of guys have called out Floyd, so to take those two examples is ******ed. Funny how it happens that both of those guys are perfect opponents and non-threats to floyd. Ever consider that? Maybe cuz Shane isn't an easy fight, he doesn't get the fight when he calls out floyd???

2) Plus Cotto never called out Shane or Clottey and fought them.

C'mon man, you are pretty intelligent on here.
