who should cotto fight to get him the exposure he needs for floyd to fight him??

[Relentless]

its obvious floyd wont fight him until cotto is a bigger draw, who can cotto fight to attract the casual fans?

de la hoya would have been a good pick but he is taken.

[eze]

Cotto would need DLH for that HUGE draw.


But Cottos team wants DLH for the money. PBF beat them to the money.

[jecxbox]

thats the bullshit about this, Cotto was absolutely screwed right now with a garbage opponent like Gomez. Its crazy Oscar just used Cotto's name for leverage to get Floyd to hurry up and sign for a Rematch. They're both fags while Cotto waits all alone.

[brooklyn1550]

De La Hoya would be the number one choice, but since he's booked for the year, his best option would be to go with another top welterweight (Margarito perhaps).

[MacManJr.]

I don't think Cotto is begging for a fight with Floyd to be honest with you.

[jecxbox]

remember Floyd thought that Mosley was going to "knock Cotto out cold"...And Floyd was perfectly going to accept the fight with Mosley if he was able to defeat Cotto. He wasn't and since Cotto beat Mosley, Pretty Boy Floyd's tune about Miguel Cotto and fighting welterweights has completely changed.

[Relentless]

margarito doesn't have a very big fan base, floyd fought hatton because of his huge following.

[Caliboxing]

Cotto doesn't need more exposure, Mayweather and every boxing fan know all about him.

hes been saying he would like to fight floyd, does he have to be a little bitch about it on national TV and say some stupid shit to Floyd for him to sign the fight?? That isn't Cotto's style so Floyd just needs to cut the fucking bullshit and make the fight.

[Symphenyceo]

dlh or hatton

[jecxbox]

:patsch


Cotto doesn't want Floyd.


are you kidding me? Stop dreaming dude of course he wants Floyd

[Thread Stealer]

it's not that cotto needs more exposure. floyd is just lying like he always is when he says there's no money in cotto. the problem is that pbf has better options for large paydays (de la fishnet).

once de la fishnet is taken care of again, as is no longer an option for the 8 figures, then cotto becomes the #1 option for a huge payday.

that's when we will get mayweather-cotto.

notice how cotto's next bout is a safe one in gomez?

keep both of them with their "0"s in the L and D column, and then have them fight.

[Symphenyceo]

are you kidding me? Stop dreaming dude of course he wants Floyd

i think he wants pbf to.....but people forget Arum runs cotto.Arum doesnt want the fight..so the fight wont be made

[brooklyn1550]

Cotto doesn't want Floyd.

Cotto would fight Floyd in a heartbeat. Arum...that's another story.

[MacManJr.]

That isn't Cotto's style so Floyd just needs to cut the fucking bullshit and make the fight.Hatton didn't sound like a little bitch when he called Floyd out did he? Cotto is hiding behind Arum with that same blanket statement he always makes. "I will fight whoever my management wants me to fight". He sounds like a fucking robot and keep in mind I like Cotto.

[eze]

hatton didn't have to beat DLH.


Hatton has a way bigger fanbase then Cotto.

[Symphenyceo]

Cotto would fight Floyd in a heartbeat. Arum...that's another story.

exactly people seem to forget about this when they talk about this matchup. Arum doesnt want this fight whatsoever

[eze]

Cotto would fight Floyd in a heartbeat. Arum...that's another story.


But Cotto already stated he fights whoever they put in front of him. So obviously he's content with fighting Gomez and not Floyd.

[Ramshall1]

He should fight Shane. . . . .oh.

[jecxbox]

eze how are you going to say that Cotto doesn't want Floyd? When every time the fucking question comes up to Floyd mayweather he has an excuse for it? First it was too green (acceptable), Then it was no money, (as of right now unacceptable), and now its Floyd doesn't 'wanna call out no welterweights' (just sad)...Yet the mother fucker goes up to 154lbs to fight a Junior Middleweight for a Junior Middleweight belt??? Wake the fuck up dude because the only thing I hear coming out of Floyd's mouth is BULLSHIT

Its called being a professional and being focused as all fuck on his job and that is to fight. He isn't a promotor so he doesn't have to get into the promoting bullshit game. Please stop the shit because Floyd knows Cotto isn't going anywhere and he is making damn sure that he doesn't ever have to mention Cotto's name.

[albeziel]

Sadly everything will be clear after the fight of the World Awaits II ends, maybe by that time Cotto will have fought against Gomez and maybe Margarito/Cintron/Williams/Clottey who knows

Miguel Cotto’s manager/trainer, Evangelista Cotto, told El Nuevo Dia that a May 3 superfight with Oscar De La Hoya is the preferred fight for the unbeaten Puerto Rican champion.



"Right now a fight with De la Hoya is more marketable than one with Mayweather," said Evangelista, "even though De la Hoya lost to Mayweather in his last fight and Mayweather won last night against Hatton, De La Hoya remains the most marketable....the other names that have been mentioned to fight with Miguel do not compare economically with a fight with De la Hoya."



If I was Cotto, I would be yelling at my management/promoter to get me a fight with Floyd or at least a bigger name. Not Gomez.

[Caliboxing]

i think he wants pbf to.....but people forget Arum runs cotto.Arum doesnt want the fight..so the fight wont be made


What do you mean Arum doesn't want the fight? Arum has been really pushing for the fight and calling Floyd out. The fight isn't happening because PBF is on a long vacation.

[jecxbox]

If Floyd said that same shit you'd call him a coward. I can't wait until Floyd does beat Cotto's ass.


No if Floyd was a respectable person like Miguel Cotto half the boxing world wouldn't hate him. Stop talking bullshit you know Floyd is running circles around Cotto because he is a money hungry whore.

[YOUNG*LORD]

its obvious floyd wont fight him until cotto is a bigger draw, who can cotto fight to attract the casual fans?

de la hoya would have been a good pick but he is taken.yeah, that's why PBF fought Bruseles, Baldomir and Mitchell...because of their huge drawing power:roll:

Cotto is the same guy he was 5 years ago, and nothing is going to change him...Floyd is the one using the excuse of drawing power, to duck the real threats at 147. 147 the deepest division in boxing today and he fights a Jr WW in Hatton, who evidently looked awful at 147 and DLH who isn't even ranked at 147. Cotto will fight PBF at a heartbeat...Floyd is the one refusing to even mention his name.

[Jase2483]

spot on.

I wish the pbf v. cotto fight would happen, but I doubt it will..

I still think it will be all bad for Cotto though.

[Relentless]

that was before floyd became a big draw himself.

i dont think so, sure there will always be haters but floyd would have been more liked if he was like that, why do you think everyone likes cotto?

[Ramshall1]

[kg0208]

The only fighters Cotto can fight to make himself a bigger draw are PBF and DLH. He is already a bigger draw than nearly everyone else. (Pacquiao also being close, but Cotto cannot fight Pacquiao). In other words, Cotto is already a big enough draw.

[boxeo#1]

I think he has already beaten the best opponent out there in shane mosley.

Yeah offcially so, but that win wasn't too convincing. If an old immobile mosley troubles him what would the super-mobile floyd do to him ?
Beat him to crap no, easily outbox him to a ud yes imo

Still i hate it that this fight cant be made. fucking arum

[Relentless]

what if cotto beats hatton?

Uhm Fraud is the one when asked about fighting Cotto - "Im taking the year off".

Then when the useless DLH match comes up he's not taking the year off anymore. :-(


Its clearly Fraud doing the ducking of Cotto.

[Jase2483]

Its clearly Fraud doing the ducking of Cotto.

I'm a known floyd fan, and the fact that the Cotto fight hasn't happened yet pisses me off. I dont think theres a ton of risk there, and I don't believe Cotto would find Floyd enough, it would probably turn into a boring pot shot 12 round decision in floyd's favor. At the same time though I have trouble blaming floyd, he's taking the fight that will pay considerably more and carries almost no risk - he'll be fighting an older, slower fighter than he did last may.

when asked about facing Cotto he didnt say "Id fight him in December" - he couldnt even say Cottos name.

[Jase2483]

as a boxing fans we should all be disgusted.

and even though pbf is one of my favorite fighters......i'm getting disgusted

I cant understand posessing that much talent, and not being able to put it on the line.

Personally if he's saying he's the best ever, he should prove it. Its a shame how money has changed boxing as a sport - its no longer about beating everyone available

[MacManJr.]

i dont think so, sure there will always be haters but floyd would have been more liked if he was like that, why do you think everyone likes cotto?People like Cotto because he is a good fighter and doesn't talk shit.

[sues2nd]

Since the fight with Oscar fell through, he should have taken a rematch with Mosely.

Its a big name.
It was a great initial fight.
It would be further exposure on the big PPV stage.
And its a hell of alot better than Alphonso Gomez...

[MacManJr.]

No if Floyd was a respectable person like Miguel Cotto half the boxing world wouldn't hate him. Stop talking bullshit you know Floyd is running circles around Cotto because he is a money hungry whore.Now he's not a respectable person? He's very repectful towards all his opponents after the fight. All the shit before the fight is just hype. If you buy into that then you're just naive as fuck.

[MacManJr.]

a fighter should fight, a promoter should promote.Several fighters do both like Floyd.

[RICH]

I Think He Should Fight Margarito Then Williams If He Passes Those Test Then Floyd. As Much As I Like Cotto He's Not The Big Draw So He Basicly On Floyd Time.

[MacManJr.]

What the fuck are you gonna say when the fight does happen and Floyd wins AGAIN?! As far as the childish name calling goes just keep hiding behind your keyboard dude.

[MacManJr.]

if floyd wins he wins, the point is this fight needs to happen.I've never argued that point my dude. Not once. I don't think less of any fighter that loses to Floyd. I honestly feel like that is exactly what was supposed to happen anyway.

Cotto wants floyd, arum on the other hand, i don't think that he wants cotto anywhere near floyd

Truth be told, he doesn't need to fight anyone to be bigger. Cotto is already a deserving fighter. If Floyd wants to PRICE HIMSELF out of fights @ WW against top contenders them he should drop his title.
