Why doesn't HBO FORCE floyd to face Cotto?

[Fox McCloud]

Can Cotto beat Mayweather? Yes. He's much bigger, much stronger than Mayweather and it's going to be very uncomfortable for Mayweather to live with Cotto's rushes. Mayweather isn't a welterweight, he was built for 140. He hasn't been nearly as aggressive at this weight than he was in lighter divisions.

If Mayweather, at 30 years old, is going to be a serious part of any division, it will be at 140. At 147, he's too small to deal with natural welterweights.

It sounds like you don't even give Mayweather a chance to beat Cotto!

bottom line is this, Cotto has fought 2 big names, one was over the hill (mosely) and one has lost all of his championship fights (Judah). If Cotto wins his next fight, which will be tough no matter who he fights (DLH, P.Williams, Cintron, Clottey) then there will be a huge financial incentive for FLoyd to fight him. The money is there now, but another big win for Cotto this year will set it up better. Marketing, baby. I want to see the Floyd-Cotto fight, COtto's just gotta keep winning.

your stuipd floyd floyd just knocked out the rushing pressure style. and floyd beat dlh is alot bigger and stronger then cotto. So if handled dlh's pressure strength and size why cant he handle cottos again(which is not as big or strong as dlh)???????????

you guys are morons to the fullest. It's funny how you hate someone so much yet the person you hate doesnt even know you exist lol

Beating a semi retired promoter years past his prime doesn't equal beating Cotto who is just entering his. Floyd may toy with him, but it isn't a fact until it actually happens.

so floyd can handle a natural jr middleweight in de la hoya but he can't handle any natural welterweight

It doesn't make sense that they are fence sitting. Cotto has a much more exciting style which will generate BIGGER bucks once he becomes known after beating Mayweather. Why are they protecting Floyd? They forced Oscar to fight Floyd to maximize FLoyd's marquee value, why don't they force Floyd to face Cotto and start looking to build younger fighters up instead of retreading Oscar for a lucrative rematch with FLoyd which no one wants to see anyway.

Cotto vs. Floyd is the fight that will set the new era blazing, then the chain reaction will bring us fights with Williams, Margarito, Cintron and Clottey.

**** Floyd, why should boxing wait two years for that mouse? This welterweight division is ready to explode like the 80's which could attract and build huge excitement for the sport overall. 80's welterweights carried boxing in the 80s, so can this crop of welterweight fighters.

FLOYDCOTT floyd!

This is another post from one of those idiotic Mayweather haters. No matter what the man does, clowns like this will never be happy. First of all, asswipe,
HBO cannot force Floyd to do anything. Mayweather and De La Hoya are in that elite class where they determine who they want to fight. HBO did not force Oscar to fight Mayweather. Fortunately, Mayweather only fights the best and he will fight Cotto sometime in 2008 and knock him out and then you and the other haters on this site will be complaining that he is dodging Cintron and Williams just like you were complaining that he was dodging Hatton before. I guess ****** *******s like you expected him to fight Cotto in January after beating Hatton in December.

Cotto brings nothing to the table. He squeaked by against old Shane Mosley in what I thought was a draw. And despite the publicity, the fight didn't sell out. He beat Judah after Judah was off for a year and the only reason that fight sold out was because Judah was from New York. Neither one of them could be considered top welterweights. So in essence Cotto has fought B class fights himself and now you think Mayweather is dodging him. Mayweather will ko Cotto in less than 10 rounds when they do fight.

I don't think Mayweather would stop Cotto but I do think he would win handily. Cotto isn't fleet footed enough to catch Mayweather and I don't think he'd manage to land very much.
