Miguel Cotto turned down a Mayweather offer at 140 lbs.
Was this a mistake by Cotto? Or did he do the right thing?

66Yes. Miguel should have taken the fight.21.21%14No. Miguel did the right thing by declining it.45.45%30It is not Miguel's fault. He listens to Bob Arum.13.64%9That "whoever my company wants me to fight" mentality is bad for Miguel.19.70%13The poll is expired.

He did the right thing. He did not have the same energy and strength that he has now, and the chin was rather Chinese.Originally posted by DIOS DOMINICANO View Post
At 147 it's a toss up though. -
Yup he didi the right thing, he was still an up and coming fighter at the point, now he's a superstar, he's ready for MayweatherComment

dont know, he might have lost, but that wouldnt have necessarily been a bad thing for his popularity, everyones lost to mayweather, i dont think its really dented ODLH's popularity, nor hattonsComment

To me, that fight was ALL upside for Cotto.Originally posted by ophqui View Post
If he won, he beat "the great Mayweather". Incredible.
If he lost, so what? Everybody else lost and STILL got huge fights: DLH, Hatton, Zab, etc. Even baldomir, gatti and Corley got big title shots post-Mayweather.Comment

You mean when Cotto was too green and didn't have any fights under his name?
Or when he got some fights under his name and Mayweather didn't want to fight him @ 140?Comment

Um, the fight offer was post-Gatti. Was Cotto still green? He left 140 shortly thereafter.Originally posted by Sin City View Post

Cotto wouldn't have got paid right back then.Comment

Mayweather opponents got paid well. Gatti made $4+ million, and Zab was slated to make $3 million until he ****ed up. All Floyd's opponents made career highs. Migs would have been fine.Originally posted by pesticid View Post
Miguel is only making $5 million nowadays. It's not like he is a 10-15 mil guy.Comment
