Why didnt Floyd fight Cotto?

[GTR]

If hes saying that his fanbase is huge, (lots of money there for sure) then why didnt Floyd attempt to pop cottos cherry?

The list of excuses is too long to even post. You would need a special plug in for your browser just for it to even be able to contain and script the text.

He was coming off a 2 year layoff.

Yeah...why did he choose JMM? Cotto was available after the Clottey fight......Floyd could have waited.

He should have fought Mosley then after the JMM fight. There's nobody else.

I meant before the layoff before margarito when Cottos name was being mentioned to him.

Well he was contemplating his retirement during the build up to Mayweather vs. Oscar. Decided to give it another go because Hatton wouldn't stop talking smack. Hatton actually strongly pursued a match against Mayweather, I give Hatton alot of credit for that. Hatton didn't hit Mayweather with the usual, "Talk to my promoter" crap. The commentators said that Mayweather was either gonna be out of the sport for 2 years or officially. This was during the Mayweather vs. Hatton fight and look, he was out for 2 years.

A) Cotto lives Puerto Rico
B) Bob Arum is Cotto's promoter

The list is ****ing huge. I can't remember all of the excuses but those two stick in my mind.

Cotto has a sick body attack fast feet good hand speed and real WW power. He wa sin the prime of his carreer at the time (pre the Tony fight) and looked to be the real deal after he outboxed Shane. The money would not have been as huge as Hatton at the time but it would have made more of an impact on the WW scene if the two fought....Lefty
