Miguel Cotto: "Mayweather Always Makes Excuses"

**Benny Leonard** · 12-14-2007, 01:29 AM

This has been Cotto's problem
""I never choose opponents. I never ask Bob (Arum). They always make the correct fights for me. I'm going to leave these things in their hands," Cotto said."

It's not proper form to start calling out a fighter when he is considering retirment or was retired, in Hatton's case when he called out Floyd.

Floyd stop him anyway!!! Now he should be thankful that they are not going to fight because now he can pretend that he could win!!!

That's what they all said.

Pressure fighters wont beat Floyd, only a tall boxer with a good jab beats Floyd and throws a lot of punches has a chance of beating Mayweather, AKA Williams.

There's only two fighters from 135 to 147 that have a good chance to beat Floyd and that's Paul Williams and Juan Diaz. The Diaz fight would have to be at 135 though, which I think Floyd could still make.

Cotto is so funny. He makes it sound like he's been calling Floyd out for years. He never even said Floyd's name until like the last few months and Arum never talked about Floyd-Cotto until Floyd left and started dissing him. When Floyd was at 140 you never heard Arum talk about that matchup so its funny how they try to make it seem like theyve been calling him out for years

Williams has a chance but no way does Diaz. He gets hit way too much with clean shots and he wouldnt be able to hurt Floyd at all. I think Floyd stops him pretty easily

lol You're actin like Floyd has had experience with Cotto's type of pressure

If Hatton's amateur dive-in pressure can prevent Floyd from getting his feet set for the first 4 or 5 rounds, lol ****...Cotto sure as hell can do the same, but actually throw an elite set of punches in the process. Some heavy ass sets of body punches. And Cotto's hands at his face for defense, I bet will be just as strong as Oscar's. I don't see Floyd able to break that D with a significant amount of pot shots.

Floyd isn't going below 147 so stop the talk. He is not going to take a chance to end up drained for a fight. You can be the strongest MF and then drain your body of fluids and have ill effect for the fight leaving you "flat/weak"

Anybody that wants Floyd, although he says he is on semi-retirement, he is at 147.

Floyd did say "Cotto is too green" like half a year ago..
