Honestly WTF does Mayweather have 2 be afraid of?

[deevel79]

it has nothing to do with support. it has to do with defending the truth. I'm not totally happy with everything mayweather does (like being scheduled for only one fight this year) but anyone who thinks floyd is afraid of Cotto considering the fights he has been in and won, is kidding themselves and just hating. I would accept the argument that floyd isn't taking the responsibility of being the p4p #1 in the sport and thus he is one of the biggest, if not the biggest representative of the sport of boxing and he should be fighting the top fighters as frequently as possible to give back the fans what they have given him like 50 million in 2007.

Us fans dont have to "think" that Floyd is scared of Cotto. Floyd has on numerous occasions shown that avoiding Cotto is in his best interests. We're not making this **** up. Just look at the proof.

whatever man. he is not scared of cotto cuz he has called out better fighters such as Mosley. He could beat cotto with ease. Fighters that he should face are the likes of Forrest and Mosley. and even De La Hoya could give him trouble come this september cuz he will be more prepared and trained by the best(floyd senior) and he will give floyd as well as the fans a really good showing.

Cotto is just a hype machine for the Floyd haters to get behind. Nothing more.

What does Mayweather have to fear in Cotto?

To begin with a much stronger, potentially dynamic fighter with what is considered the best body attack in Boxing.

Let's not forget Floyd Mayweather does not like pressure. I wouldn't anticipate Cotto approaching Mayweather in the foolish manner Ricky Hatton did. Someone can still beat Floyd with intelligent selective pressure and Miguel Cotto is an extremely excellent candidate to get the job done.

u c what Floyd has 2 be afraid of is if he loses the fight he will not live up to his own hype. Sort of like Taylor saying Pavlik was just average when he was fighting guys like Spinks and Ouma. Or Williams whos average opponent was a bum then he fought a young hungry Quintana. I dont think Floyd is scared though just think he knows it will be a tough fight and he doesnt like to fight.

Its Floyd's own words and actions that make it seem as if he has something to fear. First he claims that he is not impressed with Cotto, and has no interest in fighting him. He wrote Cotto off in both the Judah and Mosley fight, by saying that Cotto would get KO'd. Right now, 99% of the boxing world is demanding this fight, and what does Floyd say on national tv when asked about a potential fight with Cotto? "im not trying to call out any WW's" "Im gonna retire from boxing, boxing isnt going to retire me", "Im taking a 2yr break", etc... Whether he is scared of Cotto or not, is unknown, but u have to admit that his responses when it comes to Cotto, show that avoiding Cotto are in his best interests.

Well Cotto has faced three of the same opponents as Floyd (Judah, Corley and Juuko) and dispatched them all in more impressive fashion than Floyd did.
TKO11 vs UD12, TKO5 vs UD12, and TKO5 vs KO9, respectively.

Yea well "respectively" Cotto was 157lbs and Corely was 137lbs!! ANd Cotto did a ****in chicken dance from one punch from a guy 20lbs lighter. Mayweather aint got nothing to be afraid of.

Are you trying to pretend that Corley didn't also rock Mayweather?

If Corley weighed 137 fight night (which I find hard to believe) for a fight at JWW, then that's his problem. Doesn't change the fact that Cotto stopped him.

No Im not. But I was pointing out the weight difference.... But it doesnt really matter. Ya cant always go about determining fights by comparing how both fighters did against the same opponent.

One case and point:

Corrie Sanders wiped out Al "Ice" Cole in like 1:40 of round one. Rahman struggled with the same guy to get a 10 round decision. By your reasoning, Sanders shoulda mopped the floor with Rahman. And he didnt. Boxing doesnt always work like that....

Of course the triangle theory doesn't work in boxing. But when someone is consistently beating the same opponents in much more impressive fashion, it usually means something.
