It's acceptable for now, but if he don't fight Cotto after the DLH rematch, he'll lose all credibility. I'd like to see him face Cotto now cuz it won't do him any favors fightin Cotto after he loses to somebody else if he does. He probably woulda had a better chance of beatin him when they both had belts at super lightweight.
    Thats what he wants you to think. In reality, he just wants to take the fights that he knows will make keep him undefeated and make him a lot of money.

    Just read what he said. He called out two guys he easily beat.

      Their personal disagreement dates back years, to an era when Mayweather had grown weary of sitting in the second chair in Arum's Top Rank boxing stable, behind Oscar De La Hoya, and became irked when a new young buck came rutting around his territory.

      So Mayweather engaged in some subtle subterfuge.

      His appointed workout time at Top Rank Gym immediately preceded Cotto's, so he began showing up a bit late, and staying beyond his time window, to disrupt the young Puerto Rican.

      It became such an issue that Top Rank officials had to step in and enforce Mayweather's training schedule.

      "He always is acting like that, like he is the owner of everything," Cotto said. "I know it's just
      his way to do things. He just tries to you that he is, like I said, the owner of everything."
      ***** assness.

        It kinda does. He doesn't want to make Arum earn more money.

          Why floyd wants to fight with old retired fighters?
          He should give cotto or margarita chance.
          I know margarito will whope him.

            But it's should answer this Thread...!!!


            While Floyd vs. Cotto right now will be a good Fight
            (i would like too see it)
            It wouldn’t be as big as Hatton and De La Hoya was
            and it wouldnt be as Great as it could of been if Cotto would have gotten to 2other belts

            Floyd vs. De La Hoya
            Numbers: 2.15 P.P.V Combined

            Floyd is Spoiled Now, He is not fighting in anything less than Events from now on....and his last 2 fights have been Events to not just the Boxing World but for the Sport and Entertainment world...

            Look how much Promoting Floyd had to do for the Hatton FIGHT....
            "Dancing with the Stars"

            Look what he is doing for the next De La Hoya Fight
            "WrestleMania"

            Now what do you think he is going to have to do for the Cotto fight if he chooses to fight him right now...
            "American Idol"...???


            Sorry Cotto Fans,
            Floyd is not going to do anything special for the Cotto and Arum to build this fight

            Floyd is expecting Cotto and Arum to do something Special to build this fight Simply because he does not like Arum ..



            And that something Special is Getting those other 2 belts..!!!

            Cotto is not a Draw outside of Boxing Yet so he has no choice but to get those belts to fight Floyd or become a mainstream Attraction...And Floyd knows Cotto doesnt have a personality to become a mainstream Attraction so the only option Cotto has is to become GREAT. and get those 2 belts.!!!...

            This is what I have been trying to say forever...
            Cotto Stock isnt high enough to really convince Floyd and the Public that this could be a big event...




            Cotto needs to raise his Stock....

            or

            How about this, How about cotto fight Floyd for the same money he fought Mosely so floyd can make THe same money he made fighting Hatton...Since Cotto is not a mainstream Attraction yet outside of New York..

            that would be about around a 70-30 Split....

              'I'm not going to fight those guys and make them big. They fight Floyd Mayweather that makes them big. I'm not going to let no more fighters piggyback on me,' Mayweather said.

              'If Oscar de la Hoya wants one more chance to get his ass kicked, we can make it happen. If Ricky Hatton wants one more chance to get his ass kicked, we can make it happen.'

                  he's slowly turning into a woman. he ****en complains like a little *****.

                  who the **** is this guy? floyd was a NO ONE with HUGE amounts of talent for years, that most boxing scribes had penned down as a kid who 'can't do or say the right things to appeal' to the mainstream.

                  then the fight with a grossly over-matched gatti gets made, he does what he does to that level of competition, now you're atop at the head of the class?

                  he then proceeds to take on another fight with another over-matched champion in a weight class that he did NOT belong in, in Hatton and bludgeons him.

                  but not before taking a strap from odlh in light middle; in a hotly contested matchup.

                  floyd has mad talent, ala mozart (there are parallels) but he's classless and his logic leaves a lot to be desired. the fact that his fan base support his logic and even go as far as to substantiate it when not even floyd fully comprehends what the **** it is that he just tried to convey, again, is ****en ******ity at its core.
