Comments Thread For: Cotto: I Have Nothing To Prove To Canelo or Golovkin

[Real Talk85]

What Cotto is saying is that, unlike GGG and Alvarez, he has earned the right to call the shots in his career, just like Floyd Mayweather. Cotto is saying that he is the one who decides who he fights, when he fights and where he fights -- not his opponents, the sanctioning bodies or HBO. He is saying that no sanctioning body is going to tell him who he must fight or when because he can always vacate the belt and fight for another sanctioning body's belt. HBO is not going to tell him who he can fight because he can always go to Showtime and make the same amount of money fighting any opponent. And fighters like Alvarez are not going to tell him that he has to fight them on a certain date like the first Saturday in May or the second Saturday in September and Alvarez is not going to dictate the terms because Cotto is the A-side in any fight involving Mayweather or Pacquaio.

Cotto is not afraid of Alvarez or GGG. He is simply saying that they and everyone else must realize that he is the A-side in either fight and will dictate the terms.

This right here. Cotto has done more in his career than either of Canelo and GGG have done. Canelo gets credit though because he does step up, Floyd, Lara, Trout but GGG there is no excuse. Saying people are avoiding him is ludicrous, Cotto in his prime was just as scary and Canelo was destroying everyone and both still got big fights.

GGG simply doesn't get paired with hard hitting boxers, he won't ever fight Quillin, probably won't even fight Ndam. They need to stop acting like Cotto owes them something. He should either move up or keep his mouth shut because they are starting to look ******, GGG the tomato can killer.

Amazing how people bash on the guy when he's the smaller man. GGG/Canelo are desperate to have Cotto's name on their resumes and foaming at the mouth. F that, Cotto should say after degale fight "GGG/Canelo" fight each other next and winner gets title shot! I bet that GGG/SC would ***** away from that scenario. The guy is a welterweight at best fighting bigger guys at 160. That takes balls to do and stills get paid (like a BOSS) (A SIDE). That's a smart businessman!

GGG would love that scenario...

And who cares about him being a good businessman...if he's holding the middleweight title he should face the best middleweight challenger that he can which is clearly GGG. If he didn't ever intend to do that then he should have vacated that belt after he won it and not wasted an entire year of GGG's career by not letting him have what should be his.

canelo doesn't have to be next when canelo is not even a middleweight and canelo needs to shut up and stop thinking he's the A side he's not and better not duck a cotto fight again

But Canelo is the best payday for Cotto.

If he gets by Geale, I dont see why Cotto wouldnt take that fight.

[bigjavi973]

Basically he is saying he can fight anybody he chooses and still make plenty of money. So he doesn't have to take the hard fights. Hope Geale beats his sorry ass.

That's not even remotely close to what he stated.

well, if you don't have anything to prove, then why don't you retire with your constant bit ching and primadonna attitude?

[ELHURACAN58]

Yes you do. You can prove them you still got it.

[Build That Wall]

You're starting to sound like a Pact.ard.

I am the opposite of a pacqtard. I would Red K you for such a blasphemous statement, but I can't give you any Karma currently.

I am a Mayweather fan, I am a Ward Fan, But I am Also a GGG Fan.

cotto is right this whole sentiment that he has to fight canelo or ggg or hes a ducker or something is ridiculous. the guy is a active future hall of famer no matter what he does from here on out. canelo and ggg should just fight eachother

Agreed. But with todays millenials, only right now matters to them. Past history and resume be damned.

It's why Roy is still an ATG even if the latter part of his career is terrbile.

This right here.... and carefull they are gonna say that curtis stevens, who only has power in the right hand and he has absolutely nothing else, was a power puncher.

??? Funny Cotto doesn't go out on the media and talk trash. That's not him. All he did was answer questions.

Holy crap people in nsb exaggerate anything.
