Comments Thread For: Cotto Explains Why He Rejected Martinez Previously

[Mr.Fantastic]

Margarito was a cheating ******!



None of the three top ww draws fought Williams. Floyd Pacquiao Cotto. Say what you want. It doesn't matter. And let's not act as if he was unbeatable. Quintana schooled him remember.

Margarito did even when Arum tried to sue him for fighting Williams. Margarito chose the fight for the belt over money.

How am I acting he is unbeatable you dunce? All I'm saying is that Cotto fighting everyone is a myth. He's a warrior, that I don't deny.

Implying he wait for him to vacate cuz he was maybe scared or thought he couldn't beat him.

BS... remember when PAC decapitated Hatton?? Did Cotto shrink away? Nope

Why would he? It was the biggest money fight TR could offer.

Besides, Cotto wasn't exactly treated fairly by Arum and the WBO. He was basically forced to defend his title at 145 or be stripped and Pac would fight for the vacant WBO title vs some one else. Arum basically threw Cotto under the bus for Pacquiao. Cotto was extremely against the 145 catchweight. For some reason after the threat from the WBO/Arum, Cotto said it was okay and 145lbs is not an issue. He then moved up to 154 after the Pac fight, indicating that he was struggling with 147 in the first place.

Not sure if he could/couldn't but one thing that is a fact, he waited for Williams to vacate to fight for the belt against Jennings.

4 years ago Cotto just moved to 154, yet he was suppose to fight the middleweight champ?

Martinez had just moved to middleweight and was willing to go down to 154 to fight Cotto or Mayweather.

Why did Cotto wait for Williams to vacate to fight Jennings for that WBO(who hands them out like candy to PR boxers) belt?

you've been at this for half a decade. your fa99ottry knows no bounds.

and that is the nature of the sport. but some of these butt plugs seem to have a tough time understanding that. this is prizefighting. as in, they fight for money. the only "brave" ones that get their ****s ridden from the usual suspects, are the one's who have fight the fights the money fighters don't have to. if the shoe was on the other foot the "brave" ones would do the same thing the money fighters do. and yet you have the same ol ****heads ranting an raving about that same warrior spirit bull**** as if their warriors fight for free. i hope most of those *******s are sterile.

Wow i didn't know Cotto would be the first PR fighter to win 4 titles in 4 divisions if he wins this fight. This is huge. A win could put him in the the top 2 or 3 PR fighters of all time. The pressure's on
