Originally posted by lefhooktodabody View PostWow strong words from Cotto. I think it's not even as serious as people make it out to be. In my opinion they will fight sometime next year. But it's not as if Cotto is so great that he should be feared. I get the impression that Floyd would have to be an underdog since he's so afraid of Cotto.
I'm not comparing the in ring quality of others to Cotto. But before the last 4 or so Mayweather's fights the guy he fought was the one to beat him. I'm not surpised by Manny's comments you can tell that he really dislikes Mayweather for some reason.
Quote from Manny after the Hatton fight, "That's what I thought, I thought he would either lose (Mayweather) or fight his best." What kind of statement is that? He doesn't like Floyd and really hates to give him any sort of credit.

There is a man by the name of Roy Jones Jr who started the phenomenon of ducking yet still getting paid.
Him and HBO held many to ransom with dire match-ups.
Trouble is people paid for him to get away with it.
Roy amazingly is still getting away with it now even in his detrimental state....for example...fooling Bird brains into thinking a match up with a tired old past it Welterweight who hadn't won a meaningful fight in years to fight at near LHW was a worthy equal match-up....(The fight with Tito for the bird brains).
Floyd is reaping what RJJ sowed back in the 90's.
I think it is disgusting that the so called "P4P" Champ and Figure head of Boxing should treat the fans who made him what he is with so much disregard and disrespect.
Hell how can Boxing expect to gain new fans when the King of the Ring shows so little respect for the Sport that made him.
The eternal foe of Boxing will be it's downfall.
That Foe goes by the name of GREED!

Those are pretty heavy words from Cotto who will not speak negatively about anyone in boxing. The other reporters at the press conference don't seem interested in probing Cotto about Mayweather's reluctance, so I will. Do you think Mayweather actually is afraid of you? "I don't know what kind of reason he has for choosing another fighter. If you want to be the best you have to fight the best."
You actually believe you will beat Floyd don't you? "I'm pretty sure of that," answers Cotto. When asked why he believes so: "Because of my training. Because of my - I trust a lot in myself. And I'm always do more than 100% in my training sessions."
Cotto says he sees vulnerablilities in Mayweather which he knows how to exploit. "He's quick. He's fast. But when you put pressure on him he closes his mind."
Cotto is such a gentleman you will not hear him say anything worse about Mayweather than that. No, it wasn't Cotto who referred to Mayweather as "Fraud Gayweather," that was Antonio Margarito, who similarly was avoided by Mayweather two years ago. Maybe Cotto's only chance to get his fists on Floyd is to insult and ridicule the hypocritical WBC champ, such as Antonio Tarver had to do to get at Roy Jones.

Cotto was just jealous. He's a very good boxer himself, but him saying Floyd shouldn't be in race for P4P is absolutely asinine.
