Floyd is a great fighter , i won't hate but I also won't defend his actions. The only fight at WW that matters in order to sort out the mess is Floyd vs Cotto. Floyd gave Bruseles, Mitchell,Ndou,Corley etc opportunities but why not Cotto? Oscar gave you the opportunity and that fight has made you rich and brought you fame. Step up and take on the most worthy fighter in the WW division and may the best fighter WIN.
Remember when Oscar was at WW and fighting those guys like Sweet Pea, Quartey, and Trinidad. Imagine if Oscar refused to fight these guys and claimed to be the best. He would get laughed at. What if Oscar said " I won't fight Quartey because he is a nobody and brings nothing to the table" Oscar would get ripped apart. Oscar took risks at WW against guys that were on his level and took the fights, risking a defeat.
Cotto is in his prime and Floyd is in his prime , so Why is this fight not happening?
They will fight but.....it might be in the winter or next summer....
I just want to see them fight, this yr preferably.
If Money May continues fighting , who are his opponents if he doesn't fight Cotto. What fighter do you see him targeting to cement his status as greatest ever.
Its not about Oscar's chances of winning, more than it is, Floyd wasting precious time fighting an inactive fighter/promoter. That's the problem most of us have with this rematch. I wont be surpised if Oscar edges out a controversial SD so that they can set up a 3rd bout.
Oh, btw, Cotto and Arum both stated that they were interested in a fight with Floyd, but Floyd seems to be the one avoiding Cotto. Arum said that when he see's Floyd is ready and interested, then he will sit down and negotiate.
judah and baldo were both the previous #1's at welter before mayweather. but anyways, I would like to see mayweather cotto as well, but if cotto wants to, he could overtake mayweather as the #1 welter if he fights alot of the top welterweights and beats them which he hasn't done yet. Like williams, margarito, cintron.... why are his up comming fights against gomez and mayorga? he isn't exactly trying to earn a shot at mayweather nor have I heard him call out mayweather as of yet.
His upcoming fight against Gomez is a stay busy fight while he awaits to take on the winner of Cintron/Margarito. That's what Bob Arum has planned out for Cotto this year. I dont know where that Mayorga rumor came from. Although, it would definitely be an exciting matchup.

Yeah , your right, he should fight top WW's like Floyd did with Baldomir.
is no one giving dlh a chance to beat floyd?
he came pretty close first time i wouldnt be surprised if dlh wins really

what did Mitchell, Judah and Baldo do to earn a shot?
they werent ranked in the top P4P...
Cotto is the best welter weight in the world and would kick Floyds ass.

oscar didn't give him the opportunity, I don't know how you could say that. mayweather was p4p #1 for a couple of years and then oscar fought him. so it could just as well be that mayweather gave him the opportunity to be a top p4p fighter again just with 1 win. yes you can say that mayweather got a big pay day, but so did oscar. neither guy would get that kind of money against any other opponent.
also mayweather was a #1 p4p guy and clearly recognized as the best boxer in the world for a couple of years. cotto hasn't come close to that yet. if cotto gets to the top 3, 4 p4p, than yes, mayweather is obligated to give him the fight. till then, the opportunity is cotto's to earn.
Oscar DID give him the opportunity. Yes they broke the ppv record together, but Oscar pulled in big numbers no matter who he fought. He did just shy of 1mil fighting Mayorga. Oscar was already making $20mil per fight prior to fighting Floyd. Prior to Oscar, Floyd biggest payday was $8mil + $1.

Oscar can spar and make 500k buys easy. Oscar is the money man , Mayweather is not.

I know Mayweather is ring ranked #1 and is the universal #1, BUT DID
oopS.
What i was saying is that Mayweather is universally ranked #1 based on other fighters ahead of him losing, like Roy and Bernard. So in reality he is number one based on others losing rather than his victories.
hey dont try to apply any logic or common sense to why this fight should happen. all the real boxing fans know that this fight is what the public wants to see. but all you have to know is that floyd maywather is a coward afraid to fight the best. he knows cotto is no easy fight and he wont take the risk when he could get paid alot more for a glorified sparring sessions with dlh.

i just wanna see the best fight the best.. when u're at the top, u fight the one's who are ur biggest challenges, that's how it's supposed to be.. they need to fight
That's what i'm askin for. The best fight the best and may the best man win.
Imagine Ali saying "Who's Foreman" he brings nothing to the table.
or Leonard saying " Why should I let Hearns get rich off of me"
The Greatest of all time ,the creme de la creme needs to shut it . Floyd is no where near mention in terms of greatest of all time not with the opponents he has faced, That's a fact. He's won titles in numerous divisions but so have others, his only argument is being undefetaed. A good argument but his opponents faced is not that strong where he took on the best and left no doubt.
He beat Corrales,castillo,hatton,Oscar, great wins but not indicative of all time greatest of all time.

These Floydboyz crack me up! They ALWAYS seem to know what Floyd REALLY means, ALWAYS seem to know what his motives are, and ALWAYS seem to know what his future plans are. LOL. They know shit about Floyd that Floyd doesnt even seem to know about himself! If he were to read these threads and posts, he himself would probably crack up at the things his followers write.
this one goes out to NAPO too......
Money will DESTROY Cotto........
LOL We will see.. Judging by your posts you believe Mayweather would beat Louis and Ali.. He's faster then the wind right? He's slicker then vasaline :rolleyes: If he got a split decision win over DLH what makes you think he will "Destroy" Cotto who is in his prime and much better then the DLH of now. I can't wait for this fight..
