The record of 31-0 and the impressive victories of boricua Miguel Cotto over Zab Judah and Sugar Shane Mosley do not seem to be good reasons for Floyd Mayweather, Jr, to accept a future fight against the Puerto Rican champion.
Leonard Ellerbe said yesterday to Primera Hora that once Floyd beats Ricky Hatton the 8 of December, there won't be any attractive challenges for Mayweather, Jr. "being honest, we are not thinking about Miguel Cotto nor about any other fighter. We are focused in Ricky Hatton. Floyd has obtained things in boxing that no other athlete has been able ", said Ellerbe. "From a business point of view, what Cotto brings to the table? We must ask to ourselfs if it makes sense ", added at the same time that Mayweather could retire after the duel with Hatton.
Nevertheless, it is not the first time that Mayweather announces a possible retirement. Moments after winning via decision to Oscar De La Hoya in last May, he indicated that he did not find a valid reason to continue fighting. "the problem is that Floyd does not need Miguel, but that is totally the other way around, Miguel needs Floyd. There are several young fighters that are dedicated to use the name of Floyd to elevate themselfs because they have not been able to reach his level ", maintained Ellerbe.
