I don't think you guys understand...You can't wait until you see that a
boxer has very little left before wanting to fighting him and that's clearly what Floyd has done..!
Are you really that fuking STUPID? Like I said: Floyd would've neva got respect back in the days
with the fighters he has fought and when he has fought them & this era just doesn't see it..
PRPP:boxing:
Irony. That's clearly what Cotto did with Sergio.
Cotto clearly, Fraud cherry picked and waited till opponents came out of their prime/stride albeit Cotto last win was a blatant cherry pick, coward move you have to take into account to beat a coward you've got to act like one and this is how Cotto beats Fraud.
I'm starting to legitimately hate this site. I can't distinguish the trolls from the idiots and it just leaves me face palming far too much for my pleasure.
I signed up to this site with the belief that it was a good boxing forum with intelligent posters and now I can hardly muster the energy to wade through the crap here to get to the honest boxing opinions.

The fact you don't see how ironic and hypocritical that is is baffling :lol1:

You mean respect like SRL admitting fighting Hagler because he was old, past it, slow? Or how SRL fought Lalonde to make history?
Or maybe how Hagler never moved up from 160, he just stayed there waiting to fight former Lightweights in 40 year old Duran, and former welterweights in SRL and Hearns?
Tell me more about back in the day and how Floyd would be doing something foreign to the "Gold/Silver" eras, please, I would like to know more, Bert Sugar.
Lol how funny your post is...Cotto finally decides to rematch Margarito after getting destroyed by Mosley, had his face injured by Pacquiao, and close to retirement. Martinez will likely retire now. Mayorga? Foreman?
Please. Mayweather's 3 wins at Jr Middleweight are way better than Cotto's 5 wins at 154-160. De La Hoya, Canelo and a win over Cotto himself>Foreman, Mayorga, Margarito, Rodriguez, Martinez.
I won't even ask how is this even a poll, of course it's NSB, I expect no less.
Hall of famers/future HOF'ers Floyd beat:
De La Hoya =Not in his prime
Marquez = Not in his prime
Mosley= Not in his prime
Cotto = After Margacheato
Castillo= Not in his prime
Gatti=Not in his prime
Hatton= 2 small and not in his prime

Canelo*(I think he will do enough to make into the HOF when he's done)
HOF'ers/future HOF'ers Cotto beat:
Mosley
Martinez
Yeah, Cotto definitely got close/surpassed Floyd with his latest win.

Let's put it this way:
Floyd's resume at lightweight / junior is way better than Cotto's resume at 140.
Cotto's resume at welterweight and beyond is way better than Floyd's resume at 147.
Pretty much this I won't even ask how is this even a poll, of course it's NSB, I expect no less.

Mayweather has fought and beat better fighters than Cotto
Also at better times in the opponents careers
Top ten wins and opponents
Mayweather: ODLH, mosley, cotto, hatton, canelo,corrales, castillo, genaro hernandez, maidana, marquez
Top ten
Cotto: Martinez, foreman,mosley, margarito, quintana, judah, clottey, pacquaio, bailey, corley
On top of that mayweather also beat angel manfredy, judah, corley, gatti, jesus chavez, carlos Hernandez all of them prime except gatti
Its not close
When you look at who Floyd has fought and when he fought them, I am amazed he does not get any credit from this board.
Without a doubt, Cotto's resume at this point is miles above mayweather's. What happened last Saturday night is more impressive than floyds entire career when you truly think about it.
Also take into consideration that Cotto has fought EVERYBODY and during their PRIMES. Mosley, Margarito, Pacquiao, etc; no excuses. And Martinez after he was fully healed and prepared like never before (best training camp of his life as he said he was KOing Cotto in 9 without a doubt), having the best training camp of his career... Even Martinez said "KNEES didn't bother me, nothing was broken. He just destroyed me" pretty much.
Wow..Look at the Golovki taking it to the paint.. :439:

Great win, for cotto! But please let's not get carried away....chino gave may a better fight than cotto. May Beat Cotto And Is undefeated, End Of story!
-Arum wouldnt let Cotto in the ring with him
-Kostya zu didnt want none.
-DLH and Mosley felt it was too high risk low reward
-Would have fought Marg if Arum gave him the other fighters he asked for as well as the money he was asking.
-Pac and Arum Refused the fight many times.
I see no probs.
Ali fought Foreman when no one thought he had a chance. Leonard fought Hagler. Duran fought Leonard. The greats make the fights happen. They take the fights against the odds. They want those fights. "Money" doesn't want those fights and it's the wrong posture for legend.
I still think he's the most talented fighter and probably the richest for his strategy. But it's been more about business than legend. His talent, his right to choose his strategy.
I really believe that Floyd is the most talented fighter of our era. But his consistent refusal to go after the right fighters at the right time has cost him status. He could have been legendary.
