Why does Floyd get hate but Cotto doesnt?

[Thread Stealer]

Did u see what he did to zab,Quintana and paulie? he not only beat them he destroyed them heres a quote of Quintana what he said before the last round when he didnt come out "im dead , im dead" then they stopped the fight and thats coming from a gd boxer and a puerto rican the guy beat williams for gd sakes hes a gd boxer.
paulie got his ass handed to him and looked like he needed to go hospital.
Zab got steam rolled over a few low blows but zab has low blowed people before aswel zab got killed and didnt dare ask for a rematch.

Zab asked for a rematch that night, during the post-fight press conference.

they all hate on the best

yeah but also look at the weight i feel what your saying, but floyd fought DLH at 154 with DLH's gloves, weight, and ring size. By everyone's accounts Floyd has done nothin at 147 and fought no true WW and to fight a true 154 lb'er is alot in its self when you have been in with a real 147 lb'er. its kind of like skipping a weight class. but not quit, i dont know how to explain it but you get what i mean.

yea but oscar was at his best at 147 the only big win he has at 154 is against vargas

you make pretty good posts so im taking this as sarcasm.

I just saw the threadstarter glorify Floyd's victories and put down Cotto's victories so I decided to make a point.

Yes it was sarcasm, I tried to make a point about the TS and some other posters in this forum calling boxers like Zab and Mosley who were beaten by Cotto old and shot but then call Floyd's victories over Zab and De La Hoya 'great' and 'career-defining'.

Cotto's wins
Torres: bum who almost KO'd Cotto
Urkal: featherfisted bum
Corley: Corley is a bum
Malignaggi: Malignaggi is a featherfisted bum, he was beat by Herman Ngoudjo in his last fight overrated
Quintana: Quintana is a bum, who did he ever beat before fighting Cotto? Yeah he had that win over o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d Paul 'The Punished' Williams but that's about it, still a bum.
Judah: A shot bum coming off two losses, lost to bum Baldomir
Mosley: Mosley totally shot, beat no one but bum Vargas & that other bum who lost to Hatton.

Floyd's wins:
Hernandez: great champion
Corrales: a destroyer
Castillo: hall of famer
Gatti: great fighter, future HOFer, two time world champion
Mitchell: great fighter, two time world champion
Corley: great fighter who was robbed vs Zab Judah
Judah: great fighter, former undisputed WW champion
Baldomir: great fighter, undefeated for 8 years before Floyd beat him
De La Hoya: ATG, HOFer, former p4p #1
Hatton: greatest LWW ever

LMAO, so now Mosely was a shot bumb and Mitchell a great fighter?

Hatton greatest LWW ever? LMFAO.

The Judah who fought Cotto was "A shot bum coming off two losses, lost to bum Baldomir" but the one who fought Mayweather one fight previously (right after the Baldi loss) is a "great fighter, former undisputed WW champion?"

You say the Malinagi lost to Ngoudjo, but yet Mayweather "beat" the "hall of famer" Castillo (Mayweather was clearly outworked in their first fight).

Baldimor a "great fighter?"

Gatti a "great fighter, future HOFer?"

****ing talk about a biased and delusional nutthugger. This post is bull****.

i understand but i personally see no real accomplishment there. floyd is a incredibly gifted athlete who is FAST. who with no real knowledge of sports and boxing didnt know that Floyd was going to be too fast for Oscar? remember, Oscar was coming off a 2 year layoff when he fought Mayorga. 2 years without being active messes with your body. and he wasnt "bigger", he was HEAVIER. Oscar could have had gloves with pieces of broken glass glued to them and he still wouldn't have caught Floyd. Even oddsmakers knew this, thats why Floyd was the heavy favorite in the fight. just my 2 cents.

Lol, shoulda known better than to take you seriously on that one.. my bad.

yea but oscar was at his best at 147 the only big win he has at 154 is against vargas

yeah but floyd was at his best at 135 vs Chico. And DLH knocked out a natural 154 lb'er that had come out to be roided up. and im not calling zab a career difing fight, but floyd's win over zab meant more by default, because he was coming off 1 loss instead of 2.

I think his point is that when you are fighting a smaller guy, the larger you are without losing sharpness, the most of an advantage you will gain. (Manny Steward heavyweight style)
