Why Can't Mayweather Fight Cotto?

I didn't say that, but I think Cotto needs to get his legs back under him before he goes against someone of Mayweather's caliber. He took worlds of punishment against Margarito and Pacquiao. I agree with this post,Cotto needs a tune up fight,I think he could be a dangerous opponent for Floyd but he needs a break

no one wants to see this fight..

Cotto dont need to be getting in the ring with the best fighter in the world straight after takeing a hellashish beating and getting stopped by the worlds Second best fighter. He's just a man for fukks sake. Floyd wouldnt get much credit for it either, i can see the threads now "Mayweather fights Mannys Scraps ect ect!"

Arum is hesitant to put Manny in the ring with Floyd, why would he put Cotto in there. And Cotto need sum wins under his belt.

I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing it. It's a good matchup in terms of styles and Pacquiao is fighting the guy Cotto beat...Clottey is a C level fighter I mean that's a guy who wasn't even good enough to be Paulie Malignaggi's sparring partner. It would do good in PPV's more than 1 million for sure. And, Cotto can say that he lost to 2 fighters with questionable circumstances. 1) cotto is a shot fighter.... 2) cotto works for bob arum.... // thread.

couple of reasons : mayweathers plan : 1. olympic style drug test. 2. oral defamation if cotto says no 3. acuse him of roids if he refuses 4. defends himself by letting people know that cottos refusal was why the fight didn't happen. 5. pretend to be waiting for some other good fighter 6. fight someone else whos easilly beatable when a threath is evident 7. claim victory, and tell himself that hes great

Cotto is a broken and damaged fighter at this point. No point in fighting him.

He's never shown any interest whatsoever in fighting Cotto. Still I guess Margarito and Manny have shown the blueprint so maybe Floyd will get brave now. Must be embarrasing as hell for Floyd to watch this little Asian dude fight top WWs in a division he is supposed to dominate.

Floyd wouldn't fight Cotto. 1) he is not Mexican and 2) he is true welterweight. I would think that Floyd would beat him in a UD but there would not be enough $ for him. Let's face it, if he is afraid to fight De La Hoya for $40mil + and Pac for $25mil+, he is sure not going to face Cotto for maybe $5mil when he can fight a Nate Campbell or Paulie for a little less than that.

Cotto has a lot of flaws which should of got fixed years back, maybe he should use the turtle shell defense now, like Clottey does? Who do you think would be a good choice for a new trainer? well i dont know if he woould i think its his last year, i think 2 more fights and done, but hey maybe his uncle or anyone is better than santiago agree????

im one the biggest cotto fans out there he needs a real trainer at 154 it could be something

Wouldn't say it's Cotto's LAST big payday. With Boxing, you never know. I didn't say that, but I think Cotto needs to get his legs back under him before he goes against someone of Mayweather's caliber. He took worlds of punishment against Margarito and Pacquiao.

Cotto won't be fighting a real threat at 147. He just lost his last big fight. That's ridiculous, Clottey has shown the tools of a B+ fighter. Wouldn't say it's Cotto's LAST big payday. With Boxing, you never know.

2011 Cotto vs Floyd at 154? Just sayin...

simply put cotto needs to take another fight he is with top rank but he would agree to any testing and i think if cotto beats yuri a case could be made for the end of 2010 and cotto's last fgiht, however arum my stand in the way

The real answer is Top Rank.

if you havent been watching...cotto is damn near shot. floyd gains nothingby beating him and as a floyd fan, i dont want to see it. i only want to see floyd fighting real opponent like he as been, unlike pac so floyd schooling mosley and whipping on pac is all i care to see Cotto is a better opponent than Campbell, Cintron, and Bradley. Campbell is just going to put pressure on Mayweather and he is not strong enough. He could knock out Diaz. Marquez knocked him out and Marquez could not hurt Floyd. Cintron got enough power to hurt Floyd but he does not have any boxing skills. Cotto vs Mayweather would make good numbers. But it would be better if Cotto fought someone at 147 and beat them. Maybe Cintron vs Cotto, Collazo vs Cotto, the loser of Mosley vs Berto

????? So Shane Mosley is a D level fighter right? First of all, Clottey is not that good. Like I said. Clottey was not good enough to be Malginaggi sparring partner when Paul trained for Cotto. Clottey is a good pro but he's at his peak now and that's ranked 7th at 147. Is it because Miguel Cotto is from Puerto Rico? I think Clottey is too strong and would put a hurting Paulie, Paulie seems real fragile lately. I mean he got hurt but Diaz a couple times. I think he should rematch Hatton now that his hands are healed

cotto was great but i think hes on the downhill now, i personally wouldnt want to see it, althought if it was made i would watch. pbf needs to get in the ring with either, mosley, pac, williams, or bradley. if not go home money. im a fan but you need to fight one of these guys.
