So then why didn't Floyd move down to fight Hatton? Thats right, he likes to take the easy fights like Hatton at 147, then when he cant dodge Cotto any more, OOPS SORRY COTTO, IM MOVING DOWN TO 140!
We all know that Floyd shouldn't be fighting at 147, but he has insisted on it, and claims to be the best, so he needs to man the fuck up and fight the best. None of this moving down a weight bullshit.
If he wanted to fight at 140, he should have moved down for the Hatton fight, and not claimed to be the best at 147 when he is dodging any legitimate contender like the plague.
Fucking fight Miguel Cotto already, god damn.
Everyone knows that Floyd is going to pull anything he can to avoid fighting Cotto, and it is getting kind of irritating.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather moves down to 140 to fight Pauly.
Fight Cotto, if you lose, say you arn't a WW, Ill accept that excuse, then you can move down and continue your domination Floyd. But dont be a bitch about it. Give the guy a fucking shot.
I Agree. Mayweather is growing feathers.
In what aspect...Manny and Hatton are the same height and Manny has a two inch reach advantage. Both are hard as nails and both come forward. I think this is a very duable fight in the near future.
Hatton is so much stronger. Manny is just a skinny thing and Hatton is real stalky. I see Hatton pushing Manny all over the ring. With all the holding too...Hatton would just be draining Manny the whole fight. Like I said, would be great to watch though... And niether fighter would back down from that challenge so I guess any things possible
The 2nd and biggest reason is size. Stop making it sound like its because Cotto is so scary talented. Shane is easily bigger then Floyd but there size is comparable. Cotto made Shane look like a little boy in the ring. Manny Steward is the biggest Floyd hater there is and "the 1st thing he said in the Cotto-Mosley fight is that you can clearly see how much naturally bigger Cotto is then Mosley. He looks like he's definatly a weight class and maybe 2 classes bigger then Mosley".
Now if Shane is clearly bigger and thicker then Floyd and Cotto made him look like a little boy then Floyd will definatly hesitate to take that fight. Even though Shane went to 154 he has always looked smaller then all the guys he fought. Thats why Floyd seen him as a good matchup because even though he was bigger, he's still much closer to Floyd then all the other big WW's are. I mean, just look at what you guys are saying. If Shane had won then Floyd wouldve fought him. That means that if Shane had won then he wouldve looked like a beast that killed a bad mofo. So if Floyd wouldnt be scared of that then why be worried about Cotto? If he won then he obviously had more skill then Cotto. The difference is that Cotto is huge. Its not about his talent but his crazy size, just like the other guys.
Again, you guys make it sound like Floyd wont fight Cotto but has called out Clottey & Cintron. If he did that then maybe you could argue that Floyd is just scared of Cotto but he hasnt. There too big. Look at Margarito. Is he special? Hell no but Floyd wouldnt fight him either. That throws that Cotto stuff right out the window. Its not there skill set. Margarito dont scare anyone with his skills but he's just so much bigger then Floyd and thats what the problem is. If Floyd loses then he wants it to be because a guy is better then him, not simply just because he was too big. Floyd dont mind fighting bigger guys. He's always done it but at some point you get to a cut off spot and 147 is it. Unless they were the Champ like Baldy or bring money like Oscar then he doesnt need it
nonsense! Miguel Cotto is 5'7" for godsakes. He's got a wide back but thats it. Give that a rest. I can't believe your quoting Manny. He looked stronger than Shane but he didn't look much bigger, Thats bullshit! Miguel Cotto isn't a big WW at all. He's your avg WW. Mayweather would do just fine at WW if it wasn't the most talent rich division in the sport.
As far as the topic goes... It doesn't matter who won the fight. Mayweather wouldn't be fighting Mosley either. Floyds been ducking Mosley since they were lightweights. The outcome would be the same either way, Mayweather just doesn't want to face the chance of loosing
Stop being a Cotto nutlicker.............literally.
Why would you say that? I am a fan of Cotto but that doesn't make me a nutlicker... funny as shit choice of words though.
Stop talking about height. Thats all people talk about on here. It doesnt mean anything. There are guys in boxing and people in the real world who are 6ft and some way 250 while others way 150. It has nothing to do with your size. Cotto's only 5'7 but he's built like a truck. Stop trying to make it sound like he is small. He's not. Dont make it sound like he's this tiny guy moving up either. Anyone with eyes can see that he was never a 140 pounder. He killed himself every fight to make weight and looked so sick at the weigh-ins. He's big as shit. He's wide and thick. Look at Tyson & Chico's height. I guess that means Tyson isnt that big either, right?
What the hell are you bringing up a heavy weight for? We're talking about grown men that weigh 147 pounds. No grown ass man that wieghs 147 pound is big as shit. I agree with you that he was killing himself at 140 but he's said many times now that he feels really good at 147. I never said he was tiny I just don't think he's weird big either. He's just your avg WW. I can't stand when people try to make it sound like he's a damn beast. He's normal.
I love DLH, but truth be told, he has edged out as many fights as he as lost. I will give him the respect a true the public desires to see. That being said, I'll take a 34 yr old DLH over a late twenties Ricky Hatton, or a mid twenties Miguel Cotto.
You would rather watch DLH than Miguel Cotto??? Thats crazy. Cotto is explosive and amazing to watch fight. DLH hasn't had an enjoyable fight since Varges. Maybe you just enjoy watching DLH all sweaty with his shirt off LOL :kiss: J/K
