Mayweather, 39-0 with 25 knockouts in the boxing ring, stopped England's Ricky Hatton in the 10th round last December to keep his crown but resists the idea to fight rival champions such as undefeated Miguel Cotto, calling him one-dimensional and talking down his promoter, Bob Arum.
'I'm not going to fight those guys and make them big. They fight Floyd Mayweather that makes them big. I'm not going to let no more fighters piggyback on me,' Mayweather said.
'If Oscar de la Hoya wants one more chance to get his ass kicked, we can make it happen. If Ricky Hatton wants one more chance to get his ass kicked, we can make it happen.'

LOL Stop acting like Floyd is 24 already. You were probably babies when Floyd was taking on Big p4p killer star, Diego "Chico" Corrales (RIP). He was 23 years old and had already defeated the ELITE. People act like Floyd needs to prove himself in the WW division too. He did that in his own division (lightweight) and hell, he has been a champion for his fucking whole career. Give him a break.
fuck floyd. He's a cancer to boxing and needs to stay retired.
He's no different than the likes of Hoya, Calzaghe and other smart aged fighters. They are already rich and kinda perform for fans only, not haters anymore. The days of going to see Floyd and cross fingers the man loses are over, although you can never be sure about anything a fighter says cept their name is Lewis (Lennox) or other fighters who left the big game on an high.

While Floyd vs. Cotto right now will be a good Fight
(i would like too see it)
It wouldn’t be as big as Hatton and De La Hoya was
and it wouldnt be as Great as it could of been if Cotto would have gotten to 2other belts
Floyd vs. Hatton Numbers:2.5 Million P.P.V Combined
http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=11766
Floyd vs. De La Hoya Numbers: 2.15 P.P.V Combined
Floyd is Spoiled Now, He is not fighting in anything less than Events from now on....and his last 2 fights have been Events to not just the Boxing World but for the Sport and Entertainment world...
Look how much Promoting Floyd had to do for the Hatton FIGHT....
"Dancing with the Stars"
Look what he is doing for the next De La Hoya Fight
"WrestleMania"
Now what do you think he is going to have to do for the Cotto fight if he chooses to fight him right now...
"American Idol"...???
Sorry Cotto Fans,
Floyd is not going to do anything special for the Cotto and Arum to build this fight
Floyd is expecting Cotto and Arum to do something Special to build this fight Simply because he does not like Arum ..
http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170553
And that something Special is Getting those other 2 belts..!!!
Cotto is not a Draw outside of Boxing Yet so he has no choice but to get those belts to fight Floyd or become a mainstream Attraction...And Floyd knows Cotto doesnt have a personality to become a mainstream Attraction so the only option Cotto has is to become GREAT. and get those 2 belts.!!!...
This is what I have been trying to say forever...
Cotto Stock isnt high enough to really convince Floyd and the Public that this could be a big event...
Cotto needs to raise his Stock....
or
How about this, How about cotto fight Floyd for the same money he fought Mosely so floyd can make THe same money he made fighting Hatton...Since Cotto is not a mainstream Attraction yet outside of New York..
that would be about around a 70-30 Split....

http://www.rte.ie/sport/boxing/2008/0320/mayweather.htmlfuck floyd hes a fucking pussy cotto will always be bigger than floyd even if cotto retires with a loss or 2 on his record when hes done floyd is fony...hes just a little fucken bitch i cant belive he still has fans after all the ducking he does:nonono:
are you calling me a fanboy? i am a fan of mayweather, but not a huge one. although he doesn't give out respect, he deserves it.
He did give out respect, he gave calzaghe mad props before calzaghe stepped in the ring against kessler.
they spring up like cock-roaches.
are you calling me a fanboy? i am a fan of mayweather, but not a huge one. although he doesn't give out respect, he deserves it. i am about to say what sounds like a fanboy statement, but this is in my honest opinion.
mayweather is a great boxer. in fact floyd mayweather reminds me of ali. i see similarities in their styles, they are both cocky, and are hated by the boxing community the main difference is that ali was dedicated in proving that he was the best. i have never felt the need to hate cotto and i still dont.
his fight with quintana is one reason for me to say that cotto is a great boxer, but saying cotto is a better boxer right now is something i cant say! maybe soon ,but i cant say it right now.
go ahead and call me biase because you think im black, but youll be on the list with other people thinking im mexican or filippino.
It’s disappointing to read that because I personally would love to see this fight and believe that it would be great for the sport. I still have faith that the fight will happen however.
This is really hypocritical of Mayweather, Didnt he use Dela hoya to make himself big? Now he doesnt want anyone underneath him to make themself big by fighting them???WTF!!!
I refuse to give him any respect until he fight the top WW especially Cotto.
What?
lol What a little a bitch...
He jumped on Gatti's back for a free ride, (he actually cried after that fight, lol giiiiit the fuck outta here.) He jumped on Oscar's back for a free ride, lol No one used his ass to make a name BECAUSE HE DOESNT FIGHT ANYONE!. Everyone he's fought that has a big name have been fighters who already have established names, that are already past their time. He's just strategically using their name's to boost himself.
And you Hatton' fans are to blame too!
You fuckin idiots. Pushed for a Hatton/Mayweather fight, when NO ONE pushed for a Mayweather/ Margarito fight. NO WAY IN HELL MARGARITO GETS KOed IN THE SAME EMBARRASING FASHION THAT HATTON DID. (Shit,Hatton almost got laid out by Collazo.)
Between Mayweather and other obvious bullshit fighters, I think it's becoming more obvious...
ACCORDING TO THE MASSES, IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED GREAT IN THIS SPORT, YOU MUST AVOID THE MAJOR NAMES AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OLDER NAMES AND STRATEGICALLY CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENTS. UNLESS YOU'RE FROM THE UK. THENNNN YOU GET A FREE PASS, YOU'RE ALREADY CONSIDERED "GREAT" LOL. (even if you almost get KOed by Luis Collazo...)
Boxing is so full of shit now lol, I hope MMA eventually gets all aspiring fighters. Everyones chin is out to be tested in that sport atleast.
its these shit for brains fans we have running around here.
i liken them to fukken right wing ann coulter types - my reaction is always disbelief propelled by inordinate stupidity like "did he really just fukken say that? why the fuck are these other people nodding their heads in agreement?!?"

This all you need to read.
he's slowly turning into a woman. he fukken complains like a little bitch.
who the fukk is this guy? floyd was a NO ONE with HUGE amounts of talent for years, that most boxing scribes had penned down as a kid who 'can't do or say the right things to appeal' to the mainstream.
then the fight with a grossly over-matched gatti gets made, he does what he does to that level of competition, now you're atop at the head of the class?
he then proceeds to take on another fight with another over-matched champion in a weight class that he did NOT belong in, in Hatton and bludgeons him.
but not before taking a strap from odlh in light middle; in a hotly contested matchup.
floyd has mad talent, ala mozart (there are parallels) but he's classless and his logic leaves a lot to be desired. the fact that his fan base support his logic and even go as far as to substantiate it when not even floyd fully comprehends what the fukk it is that he just tried to convey, again, is fukken stupidity at its core.
