I think Mayweather would woop cotto's ass, and i honestly dont like Cotto, but if fighting mayweather is such a big deal and you fans want to see it so badly, why dont you grow some balls and call him out ? if you call him out and he dosent fight you... then you have won in the eyes of boxing fans even if you guys dont actually fight.
so stop being a robot to arum.
Take on the winner of Cotto/Margarito. Although, it will look much better beating Cotto, due to him having the better resume of the 2. Floyd legacy at the lighter weights is already cemented. Its his run from 140 on up thats iffy.
Ok, thanks for your opinion.
IYO, what does he have to do to "cement his legacy"?

I know you didn't ask me, but - Fight Cotto.
That's all I'd ask for Mayweather to do. Because at the end of day, he beats him.
OK. I know that would be the response, and I'll leave it at that. Like I said before, the fight WILL happen and I can't wait for it to happen. Mayweather wins this fight, but something tells me that won't be enough though....o well, I wont lose any sleep over this issue.

Difference is, Oscar gave Floyd the opportunity when Oscar himself was at the end of his career, and at a point where he was just looking to cash in on a megafight between him and the sports pfp#1 fighter.
Floyd on the other hand is still in his prime, and is still looking to cement his legacy. Yes he had spectacular wins, and accomplishments at the lower weight-classes, but that was then. U cant sit on wins from 5-6yrs ago, and at the same time claim to be the best WW in the world without actually fighting any ranked WW's for 3yrs.

When did Ricky ever call Floyd out? He criticized Floyd's boring style and lack of exciting fights. If insulting Floyd is all it takes, Floyd should've fought Margarito 15 times! Cotto has also went on the record to say that he'll fight Floyd when Floyd has the courage to face him. Saying that a man is gutless is far worst than calling him boring, So why hasnt Floyd told Ellerbe to "make the fucking fight"?
pardon me thats what i meant after the Castillo fight he called his style boring but in essence no1 is really talkin about mayweather fightin margarito the way they are talkin about him fighting cotto. there a rumblings about mayweather fightin cotto the same way there were rumblings about hatton fightin mayweather. once there is fuel there all it takes is the spark and cotto explicitly sayin fuck it i want Floyd will provide this
I know when it comes down to it, Floyd is going to beat Cotto. My big thing is this, MAYWEATHER DOES NOT NEED COTTO like many people are alluding to. Look at it this way. Do you think that Oscar NEEDED Mayweather to secure his legacy? NO, he didn't! WOULD IT HAVE HELPED, YESSSSS !!!! I mean he ALREADY was the "Golden Boy", and had already won REAL titles from 130 to 154. He had ALREADY beat Genaro Hernandez who was UNdefeated, JCC who had lost 1 fight, Sweet Pea who had lost ONE fight, Ike Quartey who was UNdefeated and took Oscar to the wire, El Feroz who had lost ONE fight (but mite have been a lil overrated). He lost a VERY controversial decsioin to Tito, who was UNdefeated. So the question comes back, did Oscar NEED Mayweather?
It is the other way around, as I see it, IMO. Cotto is a rising star, this I know. He is a great fighter and he is becoming a much better boxer. However, MORE IMPORTANTLY I am not saying that the outcome will be that the younger fighter will beat the older fighter. Floyd wins the bout in a very decisive manner. However, Oscar wasn't budging when Floyd was talking about fighting him for years. But when the time got right, Oscar gave Floyd his chance.
I believe that Floyd is doing the same thing. Is it right? Is it fair? To each his own, but when the fight happens and we see the results...we will know the truth about who really NEEDED who. IMO, Cotto NEEDS Mayweather rather than Mayweather NEEDS Cotto. BUT WOULD COTTO HELP HIS LEGACY, YESSSSSS!!!!!...whatever side of the fence one is on the fight HAS to happen. I believe once the fight does happen, the boxing world will be silent for awhile, then Mayweather needs to beat another 5 fighters to "secure his legacy" again....PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG NSB!!!

Cotto already said he won't wait for Mayweather, and when MAYWEATHER grows some balls to fight him, let him know.
Cotto dosen't need Mayweather right now, Cotto is building his legacy by beating names like; Zab Judah, Carlos Quintana, Shane Mosley, Paulie Malignaggi and maybe even Margarito ..! Mayweather on the other hand, HE NEEDS COTTO! Mayweather needs him to secure his legacy, he won't do that by fighting Ricky Hatton and Oscar de la Hoya in rematches, and this is coming from a big Mayweather fan.
Co-sign. Floyd is losin mad respect from some of his fans. He needs Cotto at this point more than the other way around. That is of course if he gives a shit about his rep and bein the real WW world champ. He seems to care more about easy money right now though. The Cotto fight would be huge so if he don't take it after the DLH rematch he's a bitch. Then again, I don't think Cotto's gonna beat Tony so we'll see what happens.
Mayweather always says how he is the best of his generation, all time and everything - Well, fight Cotto and prove it.
Cotto is an undefeated title holder in his prime, it would be the perfect opponent to shut up his critics.

Doesnt help floyd when cotto knocks out guys that floyd cudnet to like judah(who gave floyd his first kd),corely and etc.
Hes beat shane mosely a great fighter that floyd has yet to face granted hes old but he doesnt fight that way.
How, explain that logic. Please.

I think Mayweather would woop cotto's ass, and i honestly dont like Cotto, but if fighting mayweather is such a big deal and you fans want to see it so badly, why dont you grow some balls and call him out ? if you call him out and he dosent fight you... then you have won in the eyes of boxing fans even if you guys dont actually fight.
so stop being a robot to arum.
Cotto is class unlike some other boxers who give all excuses. Cotto says how it is im not a promoter or a manager im just a fighter. Cotto doesnt need Mayweather PBF needs Cotto to solidify his opinon on himself that he is the GOAT...haha
If he calls out floyd whats that gna do? everyone is telling floyd to face cotto even larry merchant lol.
Thats why hes gna try unified the titles because he wants floyd and hes gna exterimenate everyone so floyd has no choice.
i fink it wudn't be as clean cut for any fighter as people are making iy out. if it was obvious that cotto was going to win why wud u want 2 see it? wudnt u prefer to see cotto fight in a challenging fight and the same for Mayweather. i personally think it would be a close fight for Mayweather but thats just my opinion. If cotto called him out plain as day like Hatton did then Mayweather would have no choice but to answer but he hasnt so until he does we can but wait
When did Ricky ever call Floyd out? He criticized Floyd's boring style and lack of exciting fights. If insulting Floyd is all it takes, Floyd should've fought Margarito 15 times!

Saying that a man is gutless is far worst than calling him boring, So why hasnt Floyd told Ellerbe to "make the fucking fight"?
Cotto has never called anyone out in his life.. It's not his style.
Why would he do it now?
Besides.. Cotto doesn't need Mayweather.
He has a whole division of great names to fight.
help me understand you Devious. Because I watch you post and I listen closely to your arguments. How can you say that "Cotto doesn't need Mayweather"...yet all you do is basically say, "Mayweather needs to fight Cotto?"
Since when does Mayweather NEED Cotto more than Cotto NEEDS Mayweather? Help me understand your logic. I was going to hold off on May-Cotto comments, but I want to know what you saying.

Cotto doesn't need to call him out. We all know the fight should happen. Cotto should just go on with his career, and Mayweather will fight him when he wants to.

I just think Cotto needs Mayweather, Mayweather dosent need anybody expect big money fights, If Cotto truly wants to be great, then call out Floyd wish is the fight the fans want to see and the only fight that would put him on top of every p4p list, so thats just a step that has to be taken right now, cause staying quiet will only lead to fights with margarito, cintron, williams etc until he gets beat by one of those and everybody will say "if he got beat by this guy... imagine what floyd would have done"
