    So it's not true that a lot of people thought Hatton had the style to beat Floyd? Is that what your saying?

      Yes, Mayweather's career is light years away from Cotto.. Cotto started like 7years after Mayweather made his pro debut though.
      Who said anything about Miguel getting down to 130? You do know that as a child Cotto was the same weight he is now because he was fat don't you?
      Btw I predict that later on in his career Cotto moves up to Middlweight so what does him not fightin at 130 matter?
      Because you know as much as I know that when you talk Mayweather these days, you talk Cotto. Now I never said you specifically brought him up which is why I actually really never criticized you in my post.

      Yes I knew Miguel was this weight ealier on, as a matter of fact the only reason Miguel started boxing is because he wanted to lose weight.

      The only reason I bring up Mayweathers rise through the weightclasses is cuz people seem to not care about it when in reality its one of Floyds biggests achievements.

      And I put Cotto's name in it because since so many people love to **** on Floyd and big up Cotto, I put Cotto is Floyd's shoes to show them how difficult it actually would be for Cotto.

      I'm glad you agree with me on their resumes although I did have to check you for that Oscar comment with my Shane comment, but my post was really for all his delusional fans that now damn well they werent following Cotto since the beginning

It was win-win, a lot of people thought Hatton had the style to beat Floyd and they were saying the same thing about Hatton that they are saying about Cotto now. So how is he being a hypocrite for the sayin the same thing about a fighter that da haterz have annointed is his greatest threat. Cotto better tell Arum to make sure after SEP 16 that the fight with him is the best option for Floyd to take and the fight will get made
        pleeeeeaaase,

        do u know how long it took that fight to happen?

        wtf is this ****, you talk of this fight like it was a mega event anticipated for decades. you make it sound like the Pope was coming into town.
        ricky, who had absolutely no chance going into the fight, called out mayweather. mayweather, who had absolutely every chance going into the fight, accepted the fight for a very easy victory. one unworthy challanger, and one ko later floyd is still a ****ing *****. and that's that.

            I never said anything about Mayweather's career... his entire career has nothing to do with what I am speaking on.
            It is true he was a great lightweight.. no one is denying that.
            What you and many fail to see is that we are talking who is the best WELTERWEIGHT here not who had the BEST RESUME.
            Of course mayweather has the best resume.. but how does that make him the best welter? you feel what I am trying to say??

              Yes I feel what your saying but wat YOU fail to relize is that I already stated that YOU didnt bring Cotto up but I BROUGHT HIM UP cuz of all the haters that I feel deflate Floyds achievements to big up Cotto, read my other comments homie I already agreed with you on the welterweight run.

              Damn you making me sound like a broken record

                    Cottos last opponents were Gomez (lol, seriously), a 36 year old Mosley whose last big "win" was over ODLH 5 years ago, a Judah who lost to Baldo and PBF.

                    It's easy to find a way to criticize a win for anybody, anybody's resume, or anybody's future prospects in fights.

                      One cannot dispute Mayweathers brilliance in the 130 lb division,he beat top guy after top guy.He moved up to 135 and remained undefeated but was involved in a hard to score fight with Castillo, followed by questionable opponents of the likes of Sosa and Ndou.

                      He moves up to 140 and the quality of opponents is C+ material. His stint at 147 is B- at best.

                      His only fight in which I applauded Floyd, since his 130 days of destruction ,was the Hatton fight.
