Seriously this is the only reason Floyd wont be fighting Cotto..

[aldomanaldo]

Because Floyd isn't the one chasing an opponent and is the no.1 fighter, where as Cotto is the one who is looking to fight Mayweather and if he wants a shot he has to get past boxers like Margarito.

I hear what you're saying and i agree with you but, it just seems unfair to me that Cotto has to face one dangerous guy after another(Gomez not included) in the hope that PBF will give him a shot. And even after Cotto defeats all the contenders(which he's by no means certain to do) PBF could still decide not to fight him.
Granted PBF's in the position they all want to be in and has earned the right to do what he likes. I just find it unfortunate that all these talented guys are gonna be slogging their guts out, putting everything they have on the line in the vain hope for a shot at the champ which may never materialise.

I'm Paying attention but you don't make any sense. So then clarify what you mean. Are you just saying that Mayweather will never fight Cotto because he is destined to lose to Margarito? What would give you that opinion? What weakness do you see in Cotto's style that makes you such a believer that Margarito will beat Cotto? Mayweathers position as the top welter is tenuous because he isn't fighting the top level of compition in his division. Your support of Mayweather is admirable, he's a great fighter, has a good solid record and solid opposition. But his occupation of the top position seems to be more from careful planning and opponent selection then from actually fighting top level opponents. If Cotto beats all the other champions as everyone suggest that he should, then who does that leave for mayweather to fight? How does he remain the top welter when all he's doing is fighting for big paydays and his bank account. All this time Cotto will be getting better but what about Floyd. All the playing around is going to catch upto him. WWE and the training to fight Oscar, then what another layoff? Mayweather is setting himself up to lose big time to Cotto. To bad I'm the only one that sees it.

Good post. I hope the cotto vs floyd fight happens but al lim saying is he has a big challenge in margarito and if he losses he can kiss a floyd fight away.

AND Still NOBODY can name who has Margarito beat other than an iMmAtUrE Cintron and... WHO ELSE????????

cotto mayweather WILL happen

People have to realise Floyd is a meal ticket for many people.Ricky Hatton fully knows he will be knocked out again and still remain with his fans intact.He is trying to get a pension thats all.

Cotto knows he will be knocked out as well,he wants to make proper money as well.By fighting Floyd he knows he will cross over to the casual fans as well.

the hype for cotto/mayweather is brewing... it will overflow in 2009, but I'm still not sure if it will match the money involved in both DLH fights and the Hatton fight.

since Hatton is NOT a WW...
Who many WW has Floyd KO? 0 = 0% Who many WW has Cotto KO 3 out of four = 75%
3 opponents in common (Cotto fought them and Floyd Fought them too)
Sosa, Corley and Judah
all 3 when 12 rounds with Floyd but they all got Stop by Cotto
What make you think Floyd can KO Cotto?

Clottey, but in reality, Margarito's resume is not very good. Antonio Diaz isn't a terrible fighter either.

Clottey, but in reality, Margarito's resume is not very good. Antonio Diaz isn't a terrible fighter either.

But in reality.. Clotteys broken hand beat Clottey, because he was owning Margarito until then. Even then Margo could barely beat a one-handed Clottey, which actually says alot about more about Clottey than Margarito.

PS and no, Margarito didn´t ::also hurt his hand::, he had to make up an excuse because he ****** in that fight.
