    Again... Floyd did what he had to do in his natural weight class... Cotto and Arum should stop talking... I'm losing more and more respect for them... Do you think you get on top of the P4P list, by fighting nobodies... get a life...

    Nobody ever in history stepped up 3 weight classes and cleaned out the division, nobody... that's natural... look at Corrales, one of the hardest punchers in his division, at welterweight he couldn't hurt ****... people seem to think, that this few pounds doesn't make a difference... but it means a lot believe me... so it's natural, that at this weight he fights the big fights...

    And if Cotto would shut up, and do his work in the ring, then if he continues with his career, he would have no other chance but fight Cotto... so what... and Cotto would get beaten, I tell you, Cotto has a jab, but no right hand... and he hasn't Hatton's foot speed, and will not close the distance, like Hatton did, and I tell you the Puerto Rican fans are going to make this a good hostile crowd, that's something Floyd's need... Another late round ko...

    Cotto has become a lot better... but he need's another year... he has enough quality opposition... he can only learn, and make this fight even more compelling

        Arum needs to shut his trap with all this repetitive banter.

          As far as I'm concerned, Mayweather still needs to fight Cotto and Williams before I am satisfied with what he's done in his career. I understand the division is hot right now and there will always be someone new who is the "man to beat" but the longer Floyd waits, the more time it creates for other fighters to rise up for people to say he needs to face to prove himself the supposed GOAT jargon. He needs to fight Cotto and Williams NOW and once he does that there is no doubt he can and should retire and with much respect.

            Does DLH and Ricky Hatton and Arturo Gatti and Diego Corrales ring bells?? I mean Williams and Cotto are what?? One division champs when Floyd is five. Man come on put Cotto in with Diego Corrales or even a PRIME Castillo and he's have problems and Williams. Floyd has proven himself if he NEVER fights again!!!

              Arum is a promoter, he's doing his job for christ sake, let the man eat. As far as Cotto goes, he has every right to call Floyd out because he is the #1 ranked welterweight, not to mention he rarely if ever runs his mouth. Miguel is more entitled to call Floyd Mayweather out than any one boxingscene is to post some worthless opinion.

                Cotto is in his prime, Mayweather is in his prime. Since y'all say Mayweather fights anyone in his prime, why isn't he fighting Cotto? If Cotto's gonna lose anyway, why not prove it? You Mayweather Stans kill me.

                  What does multiple division championships have to do with it? Yes, Floyd has proven himself, but not to his fullest potential.

                    Williams would not have problems with either of those guys. His punching output would overwhelm them. Example, look at the wipeout between Mayweather and Corrales...what makes you think that Williams, who is just as active as Mayweather, wouldn't do the same? You may be right about Cotto so I won't argue that to much. Nonetheless, I still feel that Mayweather is very careful about who he chooses to fight and I believe that if he fought the two top prospect in the welterweight division who are in their prime, it would smash any sense of him ducking strong opposition and solidify all claims he makes of himself....that's all I'm getting at.

                      So why ODLH fought against Tito and Shane???

                      Btw Cotto is 2 division champ.
