      Mayweather didn't need Ricky. And when you put his legacy on the table, yes, Floyd does need Cotto if he wants to be considered a top ten all time great!

        Mayweather Cotto doesn't make any sense. Mayweather would kill Cotto easy! You people are genetically predisposed to hate. Make me sick. Fking scum.

          Cotto will draw in Latino fans regardless of whether they are PR or not.

            Hatton has more of fan base I admit that but I dont care.

            fans wont fight for you in the ring do they? and part of the draw comes from fighting Floyd you got to admit that, If not when Hatton fought Castillo or any other fight he would have 1.5 mil all the time but it only Floyd's fight

              Not that Cotto is not a draw but i bet Hatton is still a bigger one.
              .......without a doubt

                Explain to me how Hatton Mayweather made sense?? Cotto has a better chance and has earned his title shot.

                  this is the same **** your homeboys were saying about Hatton prior to the fight. Yet Floyd still fought Hatton.

                  Everyone and their mothers knew Floyd would easily defeat Hatton so what is your point? The only difference here is that Cotto or Williams are the only legitimate threats in the Welterweight division. These are the guys Floyd is SUPPOSED to fight when it comes to competition, not financial means.

                    But this argument by Floyd and his stans that Cotto isn't a draw is down right disgusting.

                    Can someone please post any of Hatton's PPV numbers?
                    .
                    .
                    .
                    .
                    Anyone? Oh thats right, Hatton never fought a PPV event in the United States. So then why did Floyd fight Hatton. He obviously wasn't considered the top threat to Floyd at the time. It certainly wasn't the fact that Hatton's last fight in the US was nearly sold out because Floyd doesn't fight someone because of their gate numbers? Did Floyd choose to fight Hatton because of his HBO fight ratings? Why?

                    Yes, Cotto/Mosley did 350 K buys. Mayweather/Hatton did 1.5 Mill but according to Floyd and his stans here on this site, that 1.5 was ALL FLOYD. So then what is the problem? If its ALL Floyd, then he should have NO problem getting that 1.5 against Cotto. A Floyd stan already posted that Cotto would do those numbers with De La Hoya but NOW, according to yall, Floyd is a bigger draw than De La Hoya so then by your logic, Cotto/Mayweather would do alot more. Floyd is the draw right?

                    Floyd packed the venue with his fans during the press conference right? Hatton was the one being booed right?

                    Floyd packed the press conferences with his fans that night right? Hatton was the one being booed right?

                    It was his hometown in his own country and yet, Floyd was getting booed? That doesnt sound like the star power that is eclipsing De La Hoya who has always been supported by the American public.

                    So here we are. Floyd won't fight Cotto because theres no money in it? Ha, ok. Cotto isn't a draw? Ha, ok. You guys can keep believing everything Floyd spits out of his mouth. But this hypocrisy is down right ridiculous.

                    I think Cotto v Floyd would do big numbers, and it would be a highly anticipated matchup.
                    That being said, people who say Floyd is ducking Cotto are straight up retarted.
                    Coming into the Hatton fight, Floyd had said, win or lose, that he was taking off at least a year.
                    We should wait, see what potential matchups arise, and see if Floyd actully does come back.
                    Either way, the approach Arum and Cotto nuthuggers have taken on this matter is pathetic and laughable.

                      That is absolute bull****, many on this board were 100% confident in a Hatton win and the odds were about 2-1 in favor of Floyd.
                      Doesnt sound like everyone and their mother to me.
