Check it out fellas. As a Cotto fan, I truly appreciate how respectful Cotto is to the other fighters. I like how he just handles his business in the ring. For Cotto to DIRECTLY call someone out would be completely out of character for him. Here is what I think Cotto should do to call FLoyd out after his next fight (provided he wins). When asked about FLoyd, we all know he will say the same old stuff..."I'll fight whoever they put in the ring with me...blah blah blah!!" We know that. What he should add to that is quite simple. He needs to say with a bit of conviction that "I am the #1 welterweight in the world. If there is SOMEONE (he must emphasize this) who thinks otherwise, let him come prove it in the ring. I dont want to hear what another fighter thinks he is. I want him to come fight me and prove it!! Like my father told me, if you think you can do something, dont talk about it...JUST DO IT!" What do you guys think. I think it would be hilarious if Cotto looked into the camera and said that emphasizing SOMEONE. Of course, it wont likely happen, but it sounds cool. If he did it this way, he would simply be showing his usual confidence without blatantly calling anyone out. Therefore, he'd be staying true to his character, at least mostly true to his character.
Cotto doesn't need to do ****. HBO, Arum, the fans, and boxing writers are doing all the work for him. All Cotto has to do is keep winning.
Cotto has a few fights first before he experiences his first loss to mayweather! Cotto doesnt really come a cross as a guy who is botherd about mayweather or anything for that matter flyod botherd about money Tito botherd about his Country Ricky botherd about his fans Miguel Cotto botherd about ? he doesnt seem to care about the mayweather fight , im sure he does care and wants the fight but he aint showing it! but its enough of all the crap sourounding the fight, Cotto should just call him out if he wants him , call him , provoke him , likee wht hatton done then mayweather will take over playing the bad guy!
I feel you fellas. I know he wont call him out. I also dont think he will care either way. I agree you also BigReg that he doesnt "need" to do anything. It was just be cool if he added this to one of his interviews.
It's not his style. I think people need to do what works for him. His personality works for him, trying to call people out would sound insincere. The guy has earned his shot, and everyone is calling for the fight. Mayweather can't talk to anyone without having to hear about Cotto. That gets at a person's ego. Not only that, but HBO, Arum and many boxing writers are taking shots at Mayweather left and right. He'll either have to fight Cotto or hear about it the rest of his life.
Flyod has done alot in his career in boxing , he doesnt need the cotto fight just love for the fans to hear it! i remember evreybody calling for wladamir klitschko vs lennox lewis fight there was also a roumor he was offerd 150 million for 3 more fights, evrey wrighter, fan in the world was calling for the fight . it never happend but it still doesnt dampen his career and if a fight dont happen against cotto then that wont dampen mayweathers career either, in my own opnion ofcourse!
Lewis wasn't killed for fighting Wlad due to the fact that Wlad got knocked out. If Cotto were to get knocked out, the hunger for this fight will greatly subside. However, if he keeps winning and Mayweather doesn't fight him, he'll hear about it the rest of his life. I think he's an ATG regardless. However, it will be a black mark on his career if he never fights Cotto and Cotto goes on to achieve great things in this sport.
Cotto doesnt need to pretend to be something he is not, he can leave the poor acting and WWF sideshow to Fraud.
He should just mention he wants to fight Mayweather, and most importantly, push Top Rank for the fight. Everyone gets all excited about guys "calling out" other fighters. Cotto's already insulted Mayweather a couple times in the press anyway. Negotiations and offers is where it matters, not talking in interviews about who you want to fight.
Calling out is for Pro wrestling fanboys...otherwords meaningless. Cotto's doing all the work in the ring. That says enough!
Lance you're right, but your ignoring the fact that calling a fighter out can get them in the ring in some cases. Which is exactly how Hatton got Floyd to bite :deal
Ray Hatton said they had been in negotiations for two years before that. It probably would've happened anyway, but Hatton's public insult did a good job of hyping the match.
I think the fans will make this fight happen. Cotto has the best chance to beat him and all the haters want to see Floyd KTFO!!! All the fighters have to do is wait and the tension will build up enough to the point where floyd will realize how much money he can make and fight him.
