That's how they roll. EVERY TIME they step up to a legit Mexican, they take knees all night long. They fight a bum, and the maricones go ape about how P.R. took a W. Pathetic. Kneeguel ducked Vargas. He knew he'd get the same treatment Ali got. -
So Rios isn't a real Mexican?Originally posted by -Mar.GOD.rito- View Post
He's been draining himself to bully smaller fighters his entire career and now he'll have a chance to show what he's made of at his natural weight class (assuming he takes this fight at 154). I think he'll put up a good fight against Cotto.Comment

Did you even watch Rios vs. Bradley? The dude is finished.Originally posted by Omowale Tribe View Post
Why didn't Kneeguel want to fight Vargas instead? LOL. He'd get the same treatment Ali got
Rios was born in Kansas... he's 'Murican.Comment

Vargas has no fans and wouldn't net him a lot of money. Rios on the other hand does. And Rios was a dead man walking in that fight because he was so drained. Even as he hydrated back up it stayed with him because he put his body through torture.Originally posted by -Mar.GOD.rito- View Post
And wasn't Mares born in Los Angeles? But I'm sure you consider him Mexican. I may be wrong about this one but wasn't Margarito born in Torrance, CA as well?Comment

Why isn't Cotto's Diva arse fighting a viable 154 pounder? Nobody wants to see a ****ing tune up fight against Brandon ****ing Rios or Diego Chavez. What the **** is that ****?Comment

Neither does Andre Ward -- no fans and doesn't net a lot of money, either. So you should know where i'm coming from... it's a b.s. excuse. Kneeguel knows he'd get a beating by Vargas, that's why he's trying to fight a washed up bum.Originally posted by Omowale Tribe View Post
I don't know about Mares, not a fan, but good try, doe. Yeah, Margs was born in CA (which will always be Mexico), but he moved to T.J. where he still resides ( i live 2 blocks away from him)Comment

Well, for one, this probably isn't even really Cotto doing any of this; it's Roc Nation trying to make a deal for a fight, and I'm assuming Top Rank didn't reach a viable economic agreement with them.
Who in their right mind would think Cotto wants to duck someone like Vargas? Are you kidding me?
Like it's been said many times before, Roc Nation is looking for a "****er" type match-up for Cotto to keep the fans happy. That's why they considered Kirkland and Rios. Don't get me wrong, I know that those aren't top of the line match-ups, but it's supposed to be a tune-up fight, anyway.
The real goal is either Marquez or Canelo by the end of the year.
BTW, Cotto wanted Marquez right now. So, is Vargas supposed to be better than Marquez? If you even believe Arum in the first place, of course, because none of us know what's really happening behind the scenes.
It seems like every time a possible Cotto opponent is brought up, Bob Arum shows up and either shuts it down or makes some sort of claim for one of his fighters. That's what he's expected to do, sure, but I can't help but feeling this is his version of revenge for Cotto leaving Top Rank.
He may be trying to sideline him, even though he's not even connected to him anymore, lol.Comment

Rios is a small version of Margarito.Comment

I prefer Vargas over Rios too but you said Cotto ducks "legit Mexicans" with the implication that Vargas is a "legit" one. Yet he's also American just like Rios.Originally posted by -Mar.GOD.rito- View Post
Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens.Comment

For a PPV I can see why he's favor Rios over Vargas. At least Rios moves the needle. Vargas is fun to watch, but nobody seems to give a f#ck about him & he sold his soul to the devil or something cuz he should have like 4 L's according to my scorecards so maybe Cotto don't wanna risk a sketchy decision loss if he can't take him out.Comment
