Comments Thread For: Schaefer: I’ll Be Meeting With Cotto, Not Top Rank

[oc9979]

Canelo is a better fight for Cotto style wise. Martinez too fast, strong and durable for Cotto. Cotto gets slaughtered against Martinez and then his legacy ends. Canelo is a bigger money fight.

The same way Martinez slaughtered Cintron?

[WESS]

Ignoring all the TR/GBP and Sho/HBO stuff, there are people that think Alvarez-Cotto would be a bad fight? WTF? I would love to see that fight.

I know right? lol

Floyd said it, so wess agrees.

Another pacfan ****boy crying about Mayweather.

Cotto was the one who said TR and GBP need to talk to each other if they want the Canelo fight. So why is Schaefer being a b1tch? If he doesn't want to talk to Arum, there's Todd Duboef. That's why it's not only Arum that's screwing things up.

You would have a point if Cotto was under contract. The fact that he isn't won't matter if it was WWIII let a lone a cold war. The fight can be made with or without TR, see Mayweather Cotto for reference.

No, Schafer was making statements that were clearly meant to be inflammatory and were, regardless of alliances and contracts. He could have said, we will be a approaching Cotto regarding a fight and left it at that. His intentions were very obviously meant to keep the cold war going.

Why the hell would Richie talk to Top Rank when he doesn't need to? You guys don't know anything about the boxing business.

This has NOTHING to do with the business of Boxing, it has to do with inflammatory statements made by Schafer directed at Arum! If Arum was non-essential to negotiations, he wouldn't have mentioned that, and you missed that!! ROFL!!! This has to do with statement intentions, DUH!

lol at this ****boy.. Why you mad son? You continue to cry about everything. What no copy and paste rant this time?

Carry on with your simp a$$.

and?

That still won't change the fact that the fight can be made with or without Bob Arum. Why do you cats ignore that? It would be one thing if Cotto HAD to have Bob make his fight (i.e. Pac) but he doesn't.

In fact, maybe that is the reason of the meeting they (him and Cotto) are supposedly having? Cotto has proven he doesn't need Bob to speak for him.

If Cotto wants a fight and the money is right he can make his own decisions. But feel free to keep talking about wars and ****. Nobody cares anymore. That should be far behind everyone because there is nothing you can do about it. It is what it is and nothing will change at this point until Bob dies or vice-a-versa.

WHO is ignoring that?? I'm not talking about his ability to negotiate without Arum, I don't have a problem with that and nothing I said shows I had a problem with that. Cotto might, or might not have a problem with that. Negotiating without Arum was not my point of contention that you somehow accidentally latched on to. I'm talking purely about his statement intentions. If he thinks he can do business without Arum, then there is no reason to mention Arum and publically jab him and when all he had to do was say "We are meeting with Cotto about potential fights". He didn't do that. He had to add his little message to it. It was not done in a matter-of-fact manner, it had a clear message with political overtones, that is too obvious. Maybe the cold war will end, maybe not but this just adds fuel to the fire as if it needs anymore with cheap petty shots like Schafer pulled.

Except Martinez just lost to Murray and would be coming off of a second knee surgery, over a year and a half layoff, hand surgery and be 39 years old. Martinez is not Trout, he isn't slick he sticks his head out and his hands down, Cotto will take a jab all night. Martinez fights like RJJ more than anyone in recent times and like Roy as the body broke down that style goes even faster.
