      I disagree.
      If I were Floyd i would give Cotto the respect he deserves and call him a great champion, know I could have beat him in my prime, but retired because im not 100% anymore.
      granted Floyd may not do that, but it would be a nice way to end a career.

        THe worse thing that can happen is that he breaks his hand early in the fight.

          Its just an excuse. Gatti broke his hands in practically every fight he ever had, but he kept fighting. Sugar Ray Leonard had hand problems. Joe Calzaghe has hand problems, none of them bitched about it like Floyd does.

          If you break your hand in a fight, fine you can complain, but you have only broken your hand once, like 5 years ago, get over it.

            No kidding, Floyd is only thirty, and still chasing that GOAT, he still has a ways to go. At least unify a division, and why not WW, arguably the most talented of them all right now? Yeah Leonard had hand problems his whole career and Calzaghe used to be a lot more of a heavy hitter earlier in his career, they both just made the neccesary adjustments in the way they fought.

            Ouch, I don't want to get hit, ouch, my hands hurt. Then you're in the wrong sport, buddy.

                  I do understand why people like to ***** about every little thing this guy does, Then they turn around and call HIM a ***** ...LOL, Its like looking in a mirror for some of you, Him visiting a doctor isnt ***** but part of fight preparation and all boxers do that especially a boxer who has a brittle hand like PBF.

                      Let me tell you something wise guy. First of all he ain't never fought Cotto and secondly he never had hand problems when I looked after him.

                      They manifested after we parted and it's all about trying to get attention, he's always been good at that and playing hard done by.
