Floy is also ducking WELTERWEIGHT UNIFICATION

[Scott9945]

True. I've never once heard of Cotto making any excuse not to fight anyone. He's truely a throwback fighter. Wish there were more like him.

And he doesn't go for cheap publicity by calling out a laundry list of names like Forrest and Margarito, among others.

[wmute]

I am surprised that this is even being debated.

Ranking of WW with a belt in terms of money they make (for themselves and opponents).

1. Mayweather

2. Cotto

3. Cintron/Williams

Let's see what happens

number 3 (both) call out number 2
number 2 calls out number 1

Number 1 is making more money by fighting the promoter in drag.

So, what do you think is driving ALL these fighters? legacy? LOL

I read stuff like "Cotto is a real throwback fighter", "Margarito is a warrior" BULL****. They all want to make the most money they can, just like Mayweather, just like all of you hypocrites. Just like anyone with a brain would do.

Seriously, it's not like these fighters are choosing money over the lives of innocent people or something like that.

Who the **** would pick legacy over 30 million dollars. What is legacy going to do for you in 30 years? Admiration from a few keyboard warriors, after you spent your life in a sport which leaves people brain damaged? Thanks, I will take the 30 millions.
And anyone who says otherwise is exactly that, a keyboard warrior.

He's ducking the legacy defining fights, for a fight that means absolutely nada! Yes, it benefits him financially, but thats about it. Nobody is going to give him praise, or a pat on the back for beating a part-time fighter/promoter for a second time.

His legacy is already defined. Floyd's best weight is not 147. He doesn't have the power and speed combination he had at lower weights. Winning now just strengthens his legacy. He should fight Cotto or Paul Williams though.

Are u saying that as a fan, you'd rather see Floyd fight Oscar as oppose to see him taking on Cotto?

Didn't you know he's a robot? He's not able to make decisions on his own, his promoter is the one making the hard or easy fights.

Cotto leaves his career in the hands of top professionals . He's an undefeated millionaire so it's not like he's been getting bad advice.

If he wants to fight Floyd somebody better give him some advice. He doesn't wanna lose that 0.

No, I am saying that I find ridiculous that anyone is surprised or pissed at Mayweather choosing to fight Oscar instead of Cotto, or Cotto not fighting the other champs, but choosing Gomez instead.

These people are human, and they have futures, where money is going to mean more than "legacy". It's childish and pathetic to overlook this very simple fact.

the problem is when floy "retires" when the safe option of oscar or whomever (hatton), is not available. floy opts to retire or go hiatus rather than face who the public demands - MIGUEL COTTO

fear/hesitation/reluctance could not be any more obvious

Roy is GREAT when he has something to prove

When Roy is hungry and motivated and threatened, he is at his best.

For a whle there he was complacent and had notting to prove. Now again, after the KO losses he has something to prove. and he is doing it. He is, against all odds at 39, somehow again at his best. He is still GREAT at 39
