Why Gomez? Better opponents were available..

you and i both know cotto has never made a decision in his whole boxing career.

 

And he should be faulted for that at this point. Be a ****ing man.

 

like i said cotto doesn't have a say, he lets the promoters pick an opponent who THEY think is in his best interest to fight.

 

de la hoya was once like that....

 

I love Cotto as a fighter but time comes that a fighter has to call his own shots.

 

ok so what are you trying to tell me?

that cotto is a *****?

 

I think its fine to let your management team take you to the top and go with their decisions. But he is at the top of his division now as the clear #2, and should be calling his own shots.

 

STOP UNDERESTIMATING GOMEZ!!!!!!!!:bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb

 

You're mixing up your terminology now. You're interchanging a bigger fight with a more meaningful fight. This isn't the case. Bigger and meaningful are not synonyms. Just because a fight is bigger, doesn't mean it's more meaningful. Anyone who argues that Vasquez vs. Marguez III is bigger than DLH/Mayweather II is fooling themselves. Once again, a big fight is measured by mainstream attention and revenue generated. It's not a hard concept to understand.

 

give me a ****in break!

cotto just fought mosley!! You want him to fight pound for pounders only or what?????

For a regular defense, this is more than okay.

 

yeah, but still had some juice. lots of it!!!

and mosley was still a top ten welter by independant rankings!!!!!

now why should he take another real top ten guy right now?? nobody is doing it. look at europe.

they fight like 2 real top ten guys in 40 bouts and ****.

and gomez is more than good enough for a routine defense.

were cotto german based, he´d be fighting someone like cosme rivera or golden johnson in his next fight.

so lets not get overly hard on cotto. this is not the 50´s where you only fought top guys. give him a break.
