Mayweather said he was on vacation and not thinking about boxing. Now rumors say him and Cotto are going to fight. How exactly are people not furious about this? A rematch with Pac-Cotto was turned down because it'd be pointless but now its great if Mayweather fights him? This isn't '08. I'm not on 24/7 like some of you so I may not know all the details, but from the sounds of it, thats a pretty obvious duck from Mayweather. This is a complete let down and boxing takes a big hit.
But keep on getting hyped about it and saying how great it is :no1:.
It's all hypothetical. If the fight happens, why not be excited? It just ain't for sure yet. I don't think it will happen, but it's a credible fight if it does. say what you want about Cotto but he'll give it a shot if they meet.
dont be mad because me & the homie crungle keeps destroying you flomos :boxing:
damn str8 treason. I believe one time I stupidly questioned one of your classic posts and you told me that "if you step into the lions den you gonna get mauled" those are words of pure a genius like your good self.
How, because he lost 2 fights?
Maybe with Manny in his corner and him finally having a real world class trainer he actually has a better chance now then back in 07.
There is nothing wrong with this fight, Cotto is a world class guy.
Yes. He didn't just lose, he was brutally stopped over 11 and 12 rounds respectively. I believe fighters can bounce back if they're strong enough mentally but his scar tissue won't help, he'll get cut bad. Also although fighters can bounce back, I'm not sure if Cotto will, at least not yet. I think Cotto is awesome and I like the guy but its highly unlikely that hes going to win unfortunately. I picked Foreman against him so I'm certainly picking Mayweather against him.
I like this post a lot. Most people on boxingscene are way too stuck up and forget to actually enjoy boxing...I hope everyone enjoys the rest of this years boxing 4real :beerchug:
That even includes CungLe and Treason1.
any time the top practitioners of your sport perform, it is a reason for celebration.
just about everyone on any pound for pound list are fighting to close out the rest of this year. floyd supposably in december, manny in november, they're trying to get paul williams in in october, chad dawson in august, martinez with paul, jmm next week, montiel in november against donaire, ect.
people need to stop with the hate and realize that floyd fighting is infinitely better for boxing than him sitting on the sidelines. the better his fights do, the better boxing is percieved, the more money available to pay for the fights you want to see.

am i right or am i right :D?
Its just very dissapointing. Less than a week ago or so, Mayweather turned down Pacquiao because he was on vacation and 'not interested' in boxing. Within a week after hes already in talks with Cotto for a fight (according to rumors). What kind of shit is that? Less money and less interest. Its a pointless fight. He'll gets a belt at 154 but he doesn't care about that so this fight is rather shit. Stylistically its interesting but there are so many other options that this is just a dissapointment. A few years ago this would've been a great fight, but its too late. Mayweathers cuts him up and stops him.
mayweather basically said, take the test and we'll make the fight. pacquiao's terms put restrictions on that testing.
make no mistake, it was the pride and arrogance of mayweather AND pacquiao that "turned down" that fight.
cotto made it clear when the issue first arose that he would take the test. that roadblock won't stall this fight...though arum still might.

This was the fight before Mayweather's retirement and most of the way through it until Cotto lost to Marga. For a good year and a half this was going to be the mega fight like Pacquiao v Mayweather is now. And it was all people wanted to see.
Whilst it has lost it's glamour with Cotto losing twice and Pacman emerging at Welterweight, I still think it's a good fight. I'm a Cotto fan, I use to think he could give Mayweather a lot of trouble. I think Floyd would UD Cotto, but I wouldn't mind seeing the fight. It's more credible than some of the fights Floyd could make.
yep but there are also more credible fights he could make...

People might jump on Floyd's back for fighting a guy Pacquiao beat, branding it "pointless", is it any more pointless or any less credible than Pacquiao v De La Hoya? I don't think it is.
Very true, this is why he mentioned Martinez, just to get the public talking about it, but never actually persuing it
stop talking crap, he never mentioned Martinez. A reporter asked him if he would consider him and he said it was a possibility.
May 's an attention whore...........simple

Because its a dream matchup from from 2 years ago. Public will still buy it and it will sell big. If your looking for a god fight, this isnt it. It will most likely be a one sided fight
I agree bro.
