Has miguel cotto ducked anybody at welterweight???

[ummeed]

he avoided baldomir, hatton, marquez, and mitchell. all the top welters of this era.

you forgot nate campbell and matt hatt.

[Zarco]

The P-Will-Winky fight was empty. It did not do good in the live gate though at all. I don't know if they brought people down but the attendance ******.

Yea attendance ******. Just correcting his info on the MB moving people, I wish they had.

That was at 140. We talking about 147....

At 147 when Cotto name was brought up. What did Floyd say? I am going to retire from boxing, I won't let boxing retire me? Or something to that effect?

What was that about was that a duck?

Eh, he wanted to retire so be it I don't care. All I know is that 147 Cotto did not duck Floyd. If Floyd really wanted the fight at 147 it could of happened.

No this is what he said.

"I would love to fight Miguel Cotto if he becomes his own boss"

Thats what he said.


So using the quote I have bolded. I can say if Cotto wanted the fight he couldve fought Paul right.

Its funny how you twist stuff around to fit ur agenda to discredit Floyd.

[Shattered Jaw]

The Cotto that turned up against Margarito or Mosely would have a very good chance against Williams. I do think Williams would stop him late though.

Still, it was ARUM that ducked Williams - not Cotto. I believe Cotto would have fought Williams without question had it been called of him.

[F l i c k e r]

Jro when you start doing the same thing for Pac and everyone else other then just Floyd then you have a case. Thats just pure Floyd hate.

You mean to tell that Cotto can fight Jennings, Gomez, Quinatana Urkal and Clottey.

And there was no room to fit Paul in? Who was fighting guys like Pakau, Phillips, Koelle and an old Winky?

Man Im not buying that., He couldve fought Williams he chose not to. Period.

We all know nobody WANTS to fight Paul. The only time Paul actually gets fights at 147 is because they HAVE to fight him.

Cotto didn't want any business of Paul because Paul is just like Marg but faster and has better footwork. So they chose Marg instead because he is supposedly slow. We all know how that turned out.

If Cotto chose Paul, the fight would have ended sooner than when Marg stopped him.

Yeah Id favor Paul to stop him in about 6 rounds. Hed be all over Cotto.

Can you give me examples of those two times? Who did Cotto fight in order to duck P-Will?

Cotto was supposed to fight the winner of Williams - Margarito and the winner would fight for the unified championship. When Paul won in an upset, Cotto scrapped his plans to fight the winner and fought some low level fighter, until Margo brought another belt to the table by beating Cintron again.

After Cotto fought Margo and lost, Paul Williams put out offers to both Margo and Cotto, again Cotto ignored the challenge and went after another fighter.

Wasn't that Jennings?

You jumping around though Burner. You telling me he should of Williams instead of Quintana at the time? Is that what you telling me?

And, when Cotto fougth Urkal was P-Will chasing him or calling him out? Or did the only name P-Will mentioned was Margarito?

Look at the timeline, understand where P-Will was at the time. This was late 2006 early 2007 when this fights took place. You can not make case he avoided P-Will around this time and instead fougth Quintana and Urkal in a 3 month period.

When Cotto signed to fight Gomez, didn't P-Will have a signed fight with Quintana at the time? And, didn't P-Will lose that fight? How can you say he ducked P-Will when and fought Gomez at the time. When P-Will was coming off a lost to a guy who Cotto destroyed.

He fought Jennings, OK but why did he get a chance to fight Jennings? Because, instead of P-Will taking care of his mandatory he chose to fight Kolle at the time. What sense did that make Burner? P-Will relinquished the title and campaigned at a higher weight-class. P-Will made a mistake and take care of his mandatory instead he went up in weight and fougth a nobody in Kolle. He should of fought a nobody in Jennings beat him and that would of moved Cotto in mandatory status. Now if P-Will would of done that and Cotto would of not of fought him. Then is a duck.

When Cotto fougth Clottey were was P-Will ranked at WW? He was not campaigning at WW and if I am not mistaken was looking to fight Pavlik in September to which got postponed to Dec to which got canceled.

Bro, no matter how you want to spin it. There was no ducking here at all. Cotto did not duck P-Will. They never fought. But, it was no ducking. When Cintron ducked him it hurt him cuz it didn't give him a chance to unify, when he lost to Quintana it hurt him cuz he lost momentum, when he fought Kolle it made no sense to have that fight.
