Cotto taking knees vs. Judah taking knees

What about Taylor? Should he have taken a knee? how about he just clinch?

What about Taylor? Should he have taken a knee?

If Floyd and Cotto fight, they fight. Until then, don't worry so much about Floyd. It makes you look envious and silly. At this stage, Mayweather's career > Cotto's, even with a couple superior welterweight names on Miguel's ledger (and I grant you that Mosley and Margarito took his 147 comp a level above Floyd's, but that's only a part of the picture). Cotto has Clottey to worry about. If he stays on course, who knows? karma , pm, you came at me first. Cry about it bitch.

and so did floyd. So what im not saying cotto hasnt fought bums but he also faced the best competition at 147 Once again....The fight itself was scheduled BEFORE he lost to Baldomir

and so was the dlh vs floyd 2 but he chose to retire your point? Floyd and Zab was scheduled before the Baldomir fight that he would eventually lose thats not Floyds fault

Reposted for those of you who don't like to stay on topic. This thread has nothing to do with Floyd Mayweather and everything to do with perception. "One thing I never got is why Zab Judah is smart for taking a knee against Cotto, but Cotto is a coward for taking a knee in a similar situation against Margarito. I know it is because of who posts hate against Cotto, but are the two situations similar enough to draw comparison? If so, why is Cotto called a coward while Judah is smart? Please explain." The act of taking a knee to avoid unnecessary punishment is smart and not cowardly. If anyone has points to address the thread, by all means, let's hear them. If not, GTFO! Sorry to be mean but if you want to talk about Floyd and Cotto create your own thread, don't take dumps in mine. That is all.

cotto wasnt even considered a top guy like mayflower was cotto had just came up and hes fighting all comers hell fight anyone then after that he fought mosley and has been fighting the top fighters at the weight. Hey floyd also fought judah after he had lost There fight was scheduled before he lost

Dude just answer the question; Why is Cotto Floyd's biggest threat in all of boxing? There's really no way around it. Is Cotto not at least the #2 WW right now? Yes Has Cotto fought the top WWs (even up to this June)? Yes Has Floyd fought even a top 5 WW while being the champion? No The bottom line is everyone just wants to see him fight the best guys, nothing more...nothing less. You're one of the only Floyd fans who's not jumping at the notion of him fighting Cotto or even Mosley for that matter. I'm also a fan of Floyd and have been for quite some time, but its really tough to look at him and say he's king when in reality he fought nobody after he became the #1 guy. Embrace the fight happening, don't rely on "He could" theories because nobody is for sure once that bell rings.

May I please refer you to the title of this thread? "TAKING KNEES". I was replying to the purse snatcher. Ok fudgepacker?

Then the amateur gave him ONE bodyshot and Cotto turned bitch. Its called plaster laced gloves.

last time i checked floyd beat the lineal champ...how many champs has cotto beat???none..he collects vacant belts Beating Mosley for no belt >>>> Beating a journeyman with 9 losses for the lineal title.

thats called defense genuise..cotto and dlh ran So running/backpeddling to avoid punishment is considered being a "bitch", unless Floyd is the one doing it. Gotcha!

The whole fight??? He ran and backpedaled the whole fight until Marg caugh up and stoped his marathon. Backpeddled the whole fight, yet he landed multiple combinations, and made Margarito look like an amateur for the entire first 6 rounds.

naw man..running is running Ok, by your logic then, Floyd is a bitch too because he backpeddles and runs to avoid being hit.

Why isn't he is the better question. Mayweather suddenly wants to fight Mosley now that he is about to be collecting social security. It would be a big fight but it is a little too late for all of that my friend. Aside from the fact that it is what the people want Cotto has earned his shot. The loss to Margarito comes with a huge asterisk. I don't want to hear about lack of evidence, lets use common sense in regards to that little plaster issue. People have been foaming at the mouth for Cotto VS Mayweather for a while now and who does he fight? Oscar and Hatton. I'm not saying you can't pad your bank account but also remember it isn't about money first. Unless of course you're Money Mayweather. Cotto has the skills to give Mayweather some trouble in the ring. People wouldn't want the fight unless it was going to be a war. Do you hear people screaming for a Mayweather VS Malignaggi fight? No. Why is that? It's because everyone knows Mayweather would dominate that bitch from the bell. You can't say the same when you factor in Cotto. It's an absolute toss up. Sure you can state your opinions as fact about all the fantastic magical things that Mayweather would do to Cotto and how when Cotto went to hit him he would throw smoke bombs down and disappear and never be hit by a punch but until you put them in the ring you really can't say all that much. I haven't said Cotto would destroy Mayweather, I just think they should fight. It would be great for the fans and great for their respective resumes. People would finally leave Floyd alone. Sure if he fought Cotto and not Manny you'd still have the cult like following of Manny saying that he deserves his shot and Floyds a coward and so on and so forth but I don't think fighting Mosley is going to earn Floyd any cool points with the "real fans" as we call ourselves. I know that I probably should've underlined italicized and bolded some of my text to keep your attention but I didn't have time to glamourize my post. Dude just answer the question; Why is Cotto Floyd's biggest threat in all of boxing?

Excuse me Mr Offtopic, Why are you comparing internet posters' street fights to Professional boxers? The reality is that Cotto ran backwards to avoid taking a punch. And then took a knee. At that point, he wasn't thinking about winning the fight. He didn't packpedal to throw a punch. He ran backwards to save himself. Not to go out on his shield. When Oscar 'ran' from Trinidad, Oscar was a bitch. But when Cotto 'ran' from Tony (AND TOOK MULTIPLE KNEES), it was 'smart'. Yeah, OK. Sorry. It doesn't work like that. Listen BROKEBACK ASS, the thread was created to make a professional look soft. Nothing soft about losing a fight, a fight, a street fight, a professional fight, a fight, OK? I'm not taking Sword fighting and by looking at your avatar that's something you can probably relate too, not me!!

Different circumstances you fuking pillow biting fudge packer! Oscar was trying to protect his lead. Cotto was genuinely hurt.

A ridiculous excuse for Judah (a black guy) but Cotto ( who is viewed as the biggest threat to your nightly jerk off material) got his "ass whipped" by a guy who more than likely had plaster in his gloves. Your so biased its cute. I fixed this for you. damnnnn whos that getting blindsided, nice avatar :boxing:

you got any proof plaster was used???or are you just speculating No solid proof, but its alot more likely than not that he did use it. -use it for Mosley (a guy that Cotto beat) but not Cotto? -wraps had old blood stains on it -in between rounds his trainer asked him "how are the punches? are they hard yet?" (suspicious being that it takes time for the plaster to harden) -Cotto's face was bloodied and bashed like never before, and Cotto's been hit by some hard punchers Like is said....Its more likely than not that he cheated for that fight as well.

Judah was getting blitzed and had a closed eye and couldn't see the punches. I believe that Judah took a knee in the corner with Cotto on top of him. Cotto backpedalled 25 feet and took a knee with Margarito in pursuit. Tony hadn't even landed a punch. Cotto's move was more cowardly, IMO. WTF is going on with all this gay ass threads? Just because a professional boxer takes a fukin knee doesn't make him weak, a coward or anything soft. If anything it means he's still thinking on his feet and needs a fukin break. There's a saying that I'm sure most of you already heard. (Live to fight another day.) Nothing weak, cowardly, soft about it. Now if your going to sit here on the internet and say you've never lost a street/pro fight, your ass is lying or your ass hasn't been in enough fights. Just IMO!!!!
