Is Floyd Waiting For Cotto To Become Great?

[johnm is...]

Problem with Floydboyz is, they always seem to know what Floyd thinking, and what his intentions are.

Much in the same way that "Cottyoboyz" claim he is afraid of/ducking Cotto.

He DID say that, I just posted what he said. It's one of those BS articles from a little while back.

He also said this when asked about Cotto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THgKmr46VZM

If Floyd is waiting for Cotto to become a "bigger name" then why dont he just come out and say so? He had no problem saying it about Margarito, when THAT fight was being highly talked about. Problem with Floydboyz is, they always seem to know what Floyd thinking, and what his intentions are.

No, not bigger name but become a greater fighter. You're too simpleminded to understand this stuff. Why would Floyd come out and say what he wants Cotto to do when he can avoid him and keep the movement of him ducking Cotto growing? Not answering to his critics makes this fight all the more bigger. If he beats Cotto one day, those same guys will have to eat their words.

Waiting for Cotto to become a better fighter? He beat the opposition that him and Floyd share in MORE CONVICING FASHION! He just beat SSM, a future HOF'er. He is going to fight the winner of Marg/Cintron. "Waiting for him to become a better fighter" my ass! LOL

Reality

Floyd at this stage of his career does not wanna be an active fighter who has to clean out divisions of any threat out there. Roy did that and collected every belt at light-heavy. Aren't people bashing him for that now?

What Floyd wants is to face great fighters, Cotto is not great YET. If he beats him now, a new Cotto will pop up, probably in the form of Andre Berto.


Mayweather's persona

His Money May persona won't allow him to speak honestly and truthfully and therefore he will continue to dissrespect opponents by saying that there aint no money in them and that he is all about the money.

But Vlad guarantees you, there is more to it then just money. Don't take everything Floyd says too seriously. Broaden your horizons and look past the soundbites and empty talk that's only meant to piss off fans that despise Floyd.

Is that why he's facing a part-time fighter/promoter for the 2nd time in Sept? Yes Oscar WAS great in his day, but not today!

i fail to see how Mitchell, Baldomir and Hatton were "great fighters".

[Allucard]

Forget this "30 years later" stuff.

But the point of your post is fine. Hatton and Floyd milked it perfectly. When I started lurking these forums in '05, that's the fight that all the talk was about. It took about two and a half years. Expect the Cotto fight to be maybe late 2009

And you think Floyd will fight at welterweight at 32 with success? If he's smart he will hang them before that.

You failed to comprehend the meaning behind this thread. I suggest you reread the first paragraphs of the thread.
