Cotto fans have no business blaming Floyd for cherry picking the more lucrative fights because Cotto did the same thing. Martinez called him out and Cotto said a fight against Margarito would make more money. Cotto fans : don't post in that thread anymore, just stay quiet.
Baldo beat the champ of the division in Zab, when he wasn't supposed to. May still fought Zab and understandably fought Baldomir afterwards. What's so hard about that?
Ahahahaha! I will just get to the point. Floyd is the biggest ***** boxing has ever seen. PERIOD. It's amazing how much we as fans will blindly back a dude cause he drank Grape Kool Aid once too... You are not being honest with yourself. Cotto has always been the type of guy to fight ANYBODY. In fact, he is fighting Margarito tomorrow... and he wants to fight Manny again. Floyd won't even fight Manny ONE time. Please... You are not fooling anyone and neither is Floyd. The dude is a psychological coward as Arum once pointed out.
The baldomir fight was mandatory if he never would have took that fight people would of said he was ducking because baldomir beat judah in an upset before floyd did.
Clearly we have different standards for what a champion should look be like. I don't hang posters up in my room for dudes that fight Baldomir and brag about being undefeated. Nah... I'll take the dude with 16 losses who fought EVERYBODY.
Ok, you're going on a completely different tangent here. You brought up, why in the world would Mayweather fight Baldomir, and I gave you the reason. I never said Cotto ducked Mayweather, you're getting me confused. But I also don't think for one second, Floyd ducked Miguel.
So in your small world, fighting a dude who broke you down in the 1st fight proves that you are avoiding a hyped up middleweight who is calling out jr welters?? Ban yourself. How weak does Floyd look when you have a fighter like Cotto who will most likely fight Margarito and Pac 2x each before Floyd finds his balls? Cotto will have gone 24 rounds with Tony, and 24 with Manny before Floyd feels like Manny is shot enough to fight him.
Where's ur proof that Floyd wanted that fight. He didn't do **** about it did he, I guess that's a duck / avoid , whatever you wanna call it. He didn't fight him. Just like he didn't fight any of the best guys at welter at that time - Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Margarito, then Pacquiao. It speaks for itself. Cotto fought all those guys except Williams.
Nah, Floyd did not duck Miguel, Miguel just "lived too far." I Know Hatton lives WAY across the Atlantic but somehow PR was too far for Floyd. :rastaSomebody should hook FLoyd up with a map.
ESPN and Co. have never referred to Cotto as a duck. The boxing community has come to the conclusion that Floyd is not the kind of champion we are used to seeing in this sport. Floyd has singlehandedly made boxing into a soap opera, ***** fest. I mean... The dude dropped to his knees and cried for beating..... Gatti. Gatti... "we talkin Gatt" (Allen Iverson voice)
LOL Cotto admitted himself that Margarito was the more lucrative opponent and that's why he turned down Martinez. You got no case, quit while you're behind.

It's a good thing Floyd sucker punched Ortiz cause Ortiz was causing him some problems. He was reaching him. Yeah I know Ortiz headbutted him but that was a weak ass way to win a fight period.
i never said he persued it im saying that cotto didnt persue it either but u claim that floyd is the one ducking? it goes both ways if u put it that way. and please stop with that mosley ****. heres a vid to shut u the **** up. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPJhvYXKZK8[/ame]
