According to Arum, the reason for no Cotto/Canelo is....

[Mr.Fantastic]

Cotto is being a woman if that's true, do they even read Mexican newspapers in Puerto Rico?

Why doesn't Cotto just be honest and say he doesn't want to fight Canelo, this is the second time he passed on the fight.

Three times actually buy one can be justified.

I'm a Cotto fan but I wont be surprised. Cotto acts like he has ovaries.

I'm a Cotto fan but I wont be surprised. Cotto acts like he has ovaries.

And menstrual cycles.

I love Cotto but he needs to chill with all this A side crap. Cotto is no Mayweather or Pacquiao. He's not doing huge numbers on his own. He better have a Mayweather fight lined up because if he don't and he let this fight pass because he got his feelings hurt that is inexcusable.

[TexasGunslinger]

Lamest excuse I've ever heard. But then again it's Bob Arum saying it moments after lying about everyone agreeing but Floyd.

I swear Arum just make up **** as he goes I don't believe that BS but with that being said I did post how younger fighters have NO RESPECT for the guys who have done more in this sport than they have.

Canelo trying to force his hand and trying to set deadlines, that was a AWFUL APPROACH from Oscar and Canelo trying to rush Cotto like he is some young prospect desperate for a Payday.

Especially when you got the biggest fight in history being negotiate for the same day.

Some people do not think.
If HBO, Showtime, Pacquiao and Mayweater agree to fight. What network is going to show Canelo vs Anyone. They would have to do a PPV without a network.

He makes good numbers
He is the Champ
He has been in the game longer
He got a lot of options, Bradley, GGG, Mayweather, Lee,
Canelo does not have many options because he does not want to move the date.

IT ALL loses credibility when it comes out of Bob Arum's mouth.

[Deevel916]

Some of you guys are acting as if this is out of Cotto's character to say something like that. As stated, I'm a Cotto fan but the truth is, he's a sensitive diva when it comes to making fights.

Cotto and Canelo do comparable numbers. Being in the game longer has nothing to do with it. Like I said, he better be fighting Mayweather. He's not fighting GGG. You can't turn down Canelo to go fight Lee or Bradley.

Cotto takes it too far. Now nobody is allowed to trash talk him? Cmon man.
