Let's face it Mayweather/Cotto should have happened years ago. Since that time Pacquiao dominated and then destroyed him over 12 rounds in a fight where Cotto basically ran. Was the damage of 3 long years ago enough to make Cotto meet the requirements of what Floyd Mayweather describes as a "leftover"?
Cotto will actually fight at 154 this time unlike the weight drained body he was forced to fight in via Pacquiao fight.
It's a great fight for Floyd, but only at 154.
You people would complain if he was fighting anyone else regardless.
Bro before cotto faced pac, Cotto fought Clottey weighing-in @ 146lbs. When he fought Pac he weighed-in @ 145lbs. A pound of difference ain't too much of a factor.
Fast forward 4 years: Cotto is more has always been a legit welterweight fighter who now is fighting in a 154 lbs coz Right now he is a Blown up 154 where he is actually a natural welterweight who just aged to higher weight coz that's what old men have deal with when you age you gain more weight. All it says is that Cotto is Old.

Good fight, weight Cotto is comfortable at, good trainer, regained his confidence after Margarito win (the loss was always on his shoulders).
Yup a beaten down run down car been hit by a bus and an tazmanian devil and yup Cotto is still in good shape coz its 154 hehe!

If you say so... ;)
Flomos: Cotto is a shot... pac/cotto 2 is a waste of time...
Flomos: Pac is fighting floyds leftovers
Floyd: I will fight cotto on may 5!
Flomos: The fight of the century! This is it!
hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
the worst fans in the century!
The fact is, Mayweather discredited Pacquiao's win over Cotto due to being "beaten with a cast" by Margarito.
According to Floyd's logic, we should now add to Cotto's list being beaten from pillar to post by Pacquiao. Using Floyd's own standard, a victory over Cotto is not worthy of credit.
Of course, I think Floyd's opinion on most things is pure ****. Cotto is a good fighter, but his best days are behind him and so are Floyd's- too bad this fight didn't happen in 2008. Floyd retired for the first time instead.
