Myth Buster Series Pt 1: Miguel Cotto one of The GREAT fighters Floyd avoided?!?!?!

[jrosales13]

"You either blame neither or blame both."

if we say we can "blame both", that means floyd ducked cotto, right?

and isn't that just the essence of the thread?

just asking

Sure if we want to go that route. But, then we would have to say that Cotto ducked Floyd at the same time right?

Just asking

That would mean both ducked each other at the same time

Like I said I personally don't see it as a duck...There was never any offer that was rejected.

[LaMigra]

First off peasant, most boxing writers felt that Cotto lost. I felt that Cotto lost. Many poster on this site feel that Cotto lost. The decision was expected to go to Mosley, but since it was close no one made a fuss.

Cotto is a B fighter. He got outboxed by the jrWW gatekeeper Demarcus Corley and had to use repeated low blows just to stay in that fight. Who are you kidding?

Cotto struggled against Clottey. Period. This statement isn't meant to bolster Clottey as we all know that he's never won a significant match. Its mean to put into perspective that Cotto couldn't handle a boxer who hasn't won a significant match without body slamming him and using low blows.

Watch the match and stop lying to yourself.

Like Cash Cow asked: WHO HAS COTTO EVEN BEATEN?

Get over yourself, peasant.

? Son... You are either ****** or not smart.

You talk sh it about "Who has Cotto beaten?" And yet you claim Mayweather is the man for beating GATTI and BALDOMIR!!!!! How are you pretending to forget that DLH V Floyd was as CLOSE or CLOSER than Mosley V Cotto?? You forget that Floyd LOST to Castillo in their first fight. Fake ass boxing fan.

You can tell who the bytches are in life by who they hold up as heroes. How could ANY self respecting fan of the sport admire what Floyd has done to avoid getting into the ring with Cotto, Margarito and now Manny????!

No champ in history has displayed this level of cowardice. Try again, your post was weak as sh it. You thought you knocked it outta the park huh?

No.




Reminder: Floyd LOST to Castillo.

Reminder: Floyd LOST to Castillo.

They are all top rank fighters. Their promoter, Bob Arum, used to promote floyd and will not do business with him because of this. Floyd is also suing Bob for underreporting the ppv sales and cheating him out of money.

Is it really honest to say he has ducked a top rank fighter?

[LaMigra]

I will say this... Floyd is a great fighter SO FAR. We don't know how great he truly is when he does NOT test his style in REAL world combat with the likes of fighter who the boxing fans wanted to see him fight e.g Cotto, Manny etc,

Any REAL fan of the sport has lived through enough upsets in the ring to know that when 2 fighters face off in the ring, anything is possible. All this BS about "style all wrong!" is just talk...speculation. The truth is Floyd could have had Cotto in the ring years ago if he showed true interest. But he did not... He talked about being too good to fight everybody... but NOT too good to fight Gatti huh?

And another thing: FU CK titles... I'd rather see a REAL fight for a vacant title than a BS fight for a title e.g. FLoyd V Gatti.

Don't let *****s fool with all that linear sh it... This is the fight game not Tennis. We wanna see the best fights not cowards winning belts from has beens named Gatti and then CRYING like they just beat Hearns...

Floyd, how could you? How could you allow yourself to cry on TV for beating Gatti?


Damn.....

Damn.....

Again, how can floyd fight top rank fighters if the president of top rank refuses to do business with floyd?

Like I said I personally don't see it as a duck...There was never any offer that was rejected.

yes, granting cotto also ducked floyd.....bcoz of "blame both"

but the thread topic is not about cotto ducking floyd or any body else, is it?

it is about floyd ducking cotto.....again bcoz of "blame both"

so based on the above..it is not really a myth....it is the truth

i may be wrong here but there being no formal offer could work both ways...

again, cotto not making any offer may mean he is ducking floyd...

but you could look at it the other way if floyd also did not make an offer....

that means floyd ducked cotto....not a myth....

the fight pbf cotto not being made is not relevant.....

I have stated from the get go. That's it's not duck. There was no offer to turn down in any direction. If you want to blame one(which people do for Floyd) then you have to blame Cotto(which people refuse to do)...But, hence on IF.

Anyways for a duck or avoiding a fighter to happen. One fighter would have to turn down an offer or just straight up refuse without valid claim to fight someone. That was not the case here.

More like Floyd Excuses part 101,898.

please bear with me....

i am not blaming floyd alone.....even blame is really not my choice word for it...

but i have to go by the thread topic....that is if floyd ducked cotto...

people can point out that cotto likewise ducked floyd..i got no issue with that..

but the refusal of any formal offer is not the only measure to say one ducked an opponent....

if two great fighters should have fought each other but they chose to ignore each other, then they are both ducking each other...

not issuing an offer to a worthy opponent could as well be ducking....the silent and not so obvious type of ducking....

[Lords]

To be honest Neither ducked each other. If your going to blame someone blame the promoters.
