If Cotto elects to fight Pacquiao on June 9th; Would that mean he ducked Mayweather?

I would like to see Cotto fight FMJ at this point. If Cotto ens up fighting
Pacquiao I will not hold it against Cotto.

I would be more inclined to believe FMJ somehow avoided signing a fight with Cotto instead. Why has Cotto not renewed his contract with top rank? Cotto obviously understands how hard it will be to sign a fight with FMJ or any other fighter for that matter who is not top rank.

BTW the only fighter I remember being offered by top rank and clearly ducked by FMJ was Antonio Margarito.

 

they should fight at MSG if they fight

 

You got to ask yourself this question; who besides Pacquiao is the most lucrative matchup for FMJ? Cotto is a free agent so there is no reason why FMJ should not be calling Cotto out if the Pac fight does not happen.
The FMJ-Cotto fight makes sense, and if it does not happen than maybe Floyd is the one not pushing for it.

 

:goodNo that just means that Bob Arum got his way again !

 

this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Yep you cant blame the Bob father unless he offers more money to Cotto for a Pac fight. But at the end of the day, Cotto is a free agent and not
contractualy obligated to fight anybody.

 

Is he really :think

 

Yeah im not sold on this either, feels like a chick that got off a relation but you feel she would only do her ex rather than others.

 

no it just sets him up for more $$ to fight mayweather after pac because he will beat pac

 

I don't think so, because he has unfinished business with Pac. So it shouldn't be looked at as a duck.

 

No because Floyd never called him out,and that fight is NOT likely to happen anyway..

 

It should be if these people who cite "ducked so-and-so" when talking about fighters wanted to be consistent.

Bottom line: every world class boxer has ducked TONS of people by the definition of the jokes here on ESB.
