Mayweather/Cotto, Double Standards

[wmute]

So it seems a lot of people think Cotto is a warrior who takes on all comers, while Mayweather isa coward who ducks any live challenger and handpicks his opponents?

How is it that Cotto is 27 and 30 fights and he is taking on a 36 years old former lightweight and everyone goes "wow, cotto has balls"

Mayweather at 27 was moving up his 3rd weight class (140) and had already collected the lineal title at 130 at 135.

Am I missing something?

That being said,

1) I am very happy with the Cotto-Mosley fight which will surely be exciting, and may the best man win!

2) And I am still extremey disappointed by Mayweather's choice of opponents between Castillo and Judah.

mayweather has a more active role in who he fights next... Cotto, "i fight whoever"

so... Cotto is a "protected warrior", while Mayweather is a "freelance *****" who always fought much better comp?

[DiegoFuego]

it's bull**** and all based on the fact that Cotto comes forward, eats punches, and KOs people while Mayweather sticks and moves, hits and doesn't get hit, and wins lopsided decisions. throw in the fact that Cotto is the most active elite fighter in the world today and you have a recipe for a double standard.

anybody claiming Cotto is doing more than Mayweather is just talking ****. and while we're at it, why the hell do people say Mayweather is ducking Cotto when Cotto has never even mentioned fighting Mayweather?

I'll always remember the night Mayweather destroyed Gatti and seeing the looks on Hatton and Cotto's faces. they were scared ****less that night.

Biased and Bull**** you speak of. Gatti was never an elite, only an idiot thought Gatti was going to win that night.

I like Cotto - he is a warrior but Mayweather has achieved so much more than him. He is super talented and does take on alot of top names. He has stopped cherry picking his opponents for the moment. The way he has adjusted his style to beat bigger opponents easily is admirable. Cotto can't change his style that way - and if he keeps fighting the way he does he will eventually get knocked out.

Because in a fight.. Me, as a non-boxer. (I can fight, not box) I'd rather fight Hatton then Mosley. Hatton is there to get hit, and swing wide.. Mosley.. not so much. Cotto is young, career-wsie too. Whereas, Mayweather is the p4p best. He deserves the credit for that, but deserves the critism for taking a while to take the top challenges.

just remember this
warriors take there respect now because there styles are crowd pleasing.
pure boxers go down in history and even tho they get zero credit when there activly fighting the day they hang up the gloves every1 sits down and takes notice of there accomplishments
