Hionestly I don't see Flyod takinghalf the damage Cotto took from Margarito.
Mainly for the first reason as astated Money May will be on his horse all night. he will only throw one punch at a time and run run run from Margarito.
1) he won't stay in front of him and exchange
2) He doesn't have the heart and is not battle tested
its not running its boxing!!!if you like to watch 2 idiots beat each other to death go watch mma...stop making these i hate mayweather threads he's retired move on
I wqs not making an I HATE FLOYD THREAD SIR..I just have seen a few thread questioning whether or not Cotto could have or should have continued...questioning if he is a quitter or not...My replies ot those posts were I think Zab Judah is a BUM AND A QUITTER...and also i wonder if or who else out there could have taken the same punishment while winning the fight and then succumb to the damage....Maybe Floyd could have taken those shots and kept on his feet fort eh 11th and 12th and took the decision over Margarito???? I think this is a valid thread and not an I hate thread ....Lefty
Where did he say that? Where is the link?
he said "im not calling out anymore welterweights" i think at the end of the ricky hatton fight, i dont think he said much about legacy and that other shit, i cant really remember him saying that.
Those are the quote that i have heard, I know people like to make things up to suit their arguement thats why i ask the poster to provide a link to those quotes...Thanks
Watch the video of the fight. It was after the fight when Lampley and Merchant were ringside discussing the fight. Floyd came up to them and started talking. Perhaps you were so happy he won that you missed it? Most people leave the tv area once the winner is announced.
Do you really believe I need to make shit up? You may not like what I have to say, but you will respect my honesty in regards to boxing.
I guess Floyd retiring wasn't enough to prove that he didn't want to face the best welterweights.
Search this one.
"I'm not out to prove who the best fighter is".
I don't think those were his exact words. I think it was more along the lines of he has nothing else to prove in the welterweight division. Don't quote me on that though.
I'm paraphrasing and may be off just a touch, but his intentions were laid out that night.

After the Hatton fight,
"I don't want a part of no welterweights".
Nothing to speculate on when he said it himself.

Yes he has Maybe not at 147 but he has from 130/135 abit at 140 and with his fight at 154 against oscar, We can only speculate on why Mayweather/Margarito never happened..

Mayweather actually fought his fights in the ring instead of letting his net clan do it for him.

We might actually be treated to some great fights.

Stick to discussing boxing mate, Cotto isnt Mayweather so him trying to "Box" would be like Pernell Whittker trying to brawl.
The problem with that statement is Floyd's never been up against someone with that much punching power or that big so it's really all here say. If it weren't an issue I'm more than sure Floyd would've taken the fight a long time ago as he would have a total advantage over Margarito, right?

Floyd ruled the 130 and 135 pound divisions.
He could beat Margarito at 147 with one hand tied behind his back while wearing an eye patch.
I think its pretty safe to say that nobody in boxing history has more would have, could have victories than Mayweather.
1) Yes he was expose- Not saying he isnt world class but the guy couldnt cope against the first guy that was bigger than him, Cotto fought people like Paulie who cotto was like 15 pound bigger than on fight night.
2) Mayweather wouldnt even take 1/3 of the damage that Cotto took because Mayweather is a superior boxer than cotto.

No we wont , Floyd is secured his legacy and hes wiped out the divisionsmoving up beating the top guys he couldve fought like the smaller guys like the Morales, Barreras, Tsyzus, Freitas, Casamayors, Hameds, Marquez, Chis, to moving higher and beating the Mosleys, Mayorgas, Forrest, Cottos, Margaritos and even the Big Show, Mayweather beat all fighters, never skipped nobody and beat all Mayweather is Ellerbes gay lover but hes still is the supreme best.
and then Team Mayweather collectively wakes up as one!

, He doesnt even know how to cut the ring off, if spinks fights Margarito he would box his ear off for the first 9-10 rounds before he gets tired towards the end, If Mayweather box rito he would do it for 12 rounds...

De La Hoya is a bigger puncher than Margarito, hes bigger or about the same size than Margarito, while i wont give DLH the stamina, overall hes a better fighter.
I just dont see how you dont understand that Miguel Cotto is not on mayweathers level, defensively the guy is a genius, hes one of those guys who even if he were to lose, could never be definitively beaten unless he allowed himself to do so. Hes a hopkins type fighter, you just cant get to him that easily. For years we have been hearing "FLOYD HASNT BEEN IN WITH _______" but for the most part, we have seen floyd against every style, you can argue he might lose, thats fine, but to deny that this guy is a defensive genius is just hating, which youll do no matter what the argument is. You just cant give a guy his credit, i dont give a fuck what hes proven or not proven at 147, in 4 fights in the division, and 1 fight at 154, hes proven that just being bigger or stronger isnt enough. Infact, i think its funny since Mayweather is this unproven, untested, unchallenged fighter to you, what would Tony gain in beating the smaller untested guy?
Where did I say Mayweather wasn't great on defense?
You won't find one single post saying anything of the sort.
Try again.
btw, Mayweather last fought at 147. Nobody talks about "bigger this" or "smaller that" more than Floyd stans. Boxing fans are only concerned with the contracted weight fighters fight at. You guys make excuses as to why he shouldn't have to face the prime welters.
"oh oh, thats not his natural weight"
"oh oh, Margarito would come in 160 plus on fight night"
"oh oh, Floyd demolished Corrales at 130 so he'll easily beat Tony"
"oh oh, I'd have Floyds baby if I could."
but yea, try to find a new angle. I've never dismissed Mayweathers defense, ever.
Im gonna file a Missing report to boxing scene that Boof Da Truth is missing, he stopped missing after CMonMang owned him and gave him a little bit of knowledge........Sorry to Boxing Scene.............Boof DaTruth is missing........he mightve died after getting owned by CmonMang and after he found out Floyd retired at age 30-31............BoooHooHooo........Boof DaTruth is pronounced dead....You will be missed.......just like floyd..NYAHAHA
BoofDa truth, do your job and make up some phony facts.................Boof Da Truth if you will, C'MonMang, Im begging you .................lie some more
Especially at 30-31...
Why would anyone not want to fight a unskilled popular bum like Margarito especially at his prime and a young 30-31 years of age.I guess Boof Da Truth found out Margarito was allegedly taking steroids and told the Puerto Rican press that.................He Boooooooofed Da Truth,
