Comments Thread For: Cotto: I Will Not Fight Margarito Outside of New York

[Fistic]

I'm just letting you know that I have read a lot and heard a lot about Arum. Don't let that old ***ish man fool you, he is a powerful man who can make life miserable for a fighter, trainer or promoter.

He didn't get to where he is by being nice.

Its all good papa. There are good people out there too that will do the right thing when the time comes.

Bob Arum don't like Puerto Ricans... I'm sorry, but he got it all set up to get cotto messed up. I'm glad Miguel Cotto understands who he is to the sport and doesn't need Top Rank anymore!!!!!!!! That whole situation with the wraps was set up by Bob Arum the mafioso

[BTL]

So if it don't get done in new York then the fight is off.. Is that what cotto is saying

yes and its a great decision on cotto's part. hec an fight somebody else instead of that cheating trash.

why not avenge his loss while he has the chance? Tell me that.

You can say he has the upper hand. He is the draw. Whatever you want.

Why not jump at the chance to beat the living **** out of the guy who supposedly "had plaster" and tried to "take your health"?

Why not jump at the chance to permanently mess up the one guy that was responsible for your career taking a nose dive?

Why not jump at the opportunity to beat the man who gave you your first loss?

Tell me....

Amen to this.

and why not jump at the chance of beating the hell out of a one eyed plasterless cheat.

I honestly think Cotto is not confident he can beat Margarito.

[Dale Cardon]

Permanently injuring someone is not what this sport is about. And Cotto is a better person than that. Hence why he said that if the NYSAC does not approve Margarito to fight everyone should respect that including himself and his camp, Arum and Top Rank, Margarito and his camp and all of the fans including the internet commandos like you.

Is Cotto posturing? Possibly, but I hope he is not. If the NYSAC does not approve Margarito to fight that means that he is not 100%. I don't think that Cotto would want to go into a fight against someone that is not at their best. Cotto, I would hope, want to beat him at his best and never deal with him again. No questions about how legit the win was.

I hope too he is not. His recent statements however, can easily be interpreted otherwise.

It would have been understandable to boxing fans had he simply said he'll feel sorry for Margarito if NYC declares him unfit to fight. Fighting somebody with a handicap will be totally unfair hence the fight can't be made anywhere.

Margarito should be ashamed that he let lil ass Pac beat him up that bad.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Good **** put ure foot down because this fat *** been using you defending a bum over you in the wrap scandal and setting you up with pac at catchweight when you were the champ the fight has to be in ny nowhere else

[borikua]
