Floyd is a clever guy.
They avoided Margarito because it didn't make allround sense on a risk vs. reward basis.
They continue to mull a Cotto fight somewhat alarmingly as the risk vs. reward argument doesn't apply, but I think Floyd will be vindicated when he announces his intention to fight Miguel after decisioning Oscar in September.
Floyds motto has always been, "If it makes dollars it makes sense", so obviously he is out to make as much bank as possible, and the longer we wait for a Cotto fight the bigger it becomes (Ray Leonard did the same with Tommy). I don't think Mayweather fears anyone out there. I think he and his advisors are very clever people, and they analyse options and don't rush to decisions. He has never shown fear before, not when fighting a KO specialist who damn near everyone was terrified of in Chico, not when taking on Castillo in his first fight at lightweight, not when facing unbeaten Hatton, but I think he respects Cotto and will fight him later in the year

IMO I don't see how anyone who is considered by basically everyone P4P the best in the world, can be scared of anyone. He's #1, he has too much self confidence to think anyone beats him, but we've seen time and time again that he goes after the big money fight, so the logical answer would be 2.
I agree man...To bad many so called fans dont let the truth come out...They let the hate cloud their judgement

ok
no
He really doesn't "need" to do anything.
then he should retire fully after this next fight with oscar then these threads wont need to happen. mayweather wants money and we wants to be knwon as the greatest, he has money, time to become the greatest of all time, he can to, there are enough names from light welter to light middle to do it, dicking around with oscar isnt exactly helping and neither is fighting at 154 but thats his choice, i just hope he doesnt use the excuss "well im semi retired anyway" when he loses one cause that would be gutless
Ok one more time, Hatton is worth much more MONEY. Hatton is beloved by an entire country of people with yellow teeth and bad breath. Most of whom traveled overseas to watch the fight, sing rediculous songs, and to help the retirement fund of every single Vegas hooker.
fuck money, didnt maywaether make 20 mill from the WWE and all that money from oscar for the first fight, that bitch dont need any green, he needs to fight cotto is what he needs to do
and no felix sturm isnt a great boxer, he's fucking fantastic :)
He wants more money, hence the name "Money" Mayweather. The last 2 fights he has fought have given him swimming pools full of cash and if he fought Margarito or Cotto right now he won't get anything near the amount he got before. If he really wanted to he could go whoop both their arse's right now but to him there's not much point if they don't bring the $'s.
how could anyone think he ducks only for money when he turned down a career high payday to avoid margarito?? use some plain and basic common sense WILL YA??
do you really believe that marg who was not even known at the time would have gotten floyd 8 million dollars?
Be serious./.. Cotto fought gomez and didnt even make 6 million....
It's all about the money at this point for Floyd. I don't think he's scared to fight those guys, it's just that he want's the huge paydays. Why else would he be fighting DLH again and maybe even Hatton?
THERE IS MORE TO BOXING THEN MAYWEATHER dont give yourself a heart attack homay.
Why in the fuck are you following me around?? You seem to have some lame ass post when ever I post in a thread. Damn, I'm NOT YOUR FUCKING FRIEND!!!
i will admit that mayweather has a better record and has fought more quailty and elite boxers then cotto, but i just dotn understand how he could fight hatton but a cotto fight is so hard to make, both cotto and hatton were/are undeafeated fighters and the best in the divsion, is floyd truley is the best he needs to fight every body thats in the top of the divsion thats what great fighters do
