Team Mayweather: "Cotto Not Important"
Collapse
-
Cotto Fans must realize that Cotto is popular fighter among Hardcore boxing fans that's it..! He is not a draw outside of Boxing...
It's not a terrible thing
It is something he got to work on.....Maybe his fight with Margarito will get him some recognition.....
Because as of now He isnt really a star outside the sport...

You know who is a draw outside of boxing to the casual fan? I'll tell you the fighters' names that I recognized before I got into the sport.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Roy Jones Jr.
Antonio Tarver
Oscar De La Hoya
That is it, literally. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is now on the list because of how he has expanded his horizons, but other than that, no one is on the list. Shane Mosley is not more of a draw to a casual fan than Cotto. Neither is Ricky Hatton.

most of you are on one end of the spectrum or the other, cotto fans want the fight, floyd fans dont want floyd to be viewed with the same criticism and dismay hes always been viewed with. with floyd, it was his domestic disputes, his volitale personality or maybe his inability to draw with his style, he got big, and all of the sudden hes ducking 123456 x fighters. Either way to me, my focus hasnt been much on boxing, so wether the fight comes off or not, i dont even care anymore, following and hanging every word these guys say and spin everywhere just does my head in, at this point i cant argue much anymore in anyones favor, everyones playing the same game
so basically its a no win situation for everyone, if you ask me, cotto just needs to unify on tv and then go after the WBC floyd has, thats it, after that it should be set.Last edited by El Jesus; 04-26-2008, 08:40 PM.

by himself cotto is boring and does not appear as a big threat to floyd. so cotto has to go out there and dominate the other belt holders i.e margo and the paul williams quintana winner
once he has done that then the public can get behind an "undisputed" ppv extravaganza

Floyd ain't scared
Its true it would be a great fight. but cotto has no popularity outside of boxing unlike mayweather and oscar. why isn't cotto in dancing with the STARS or wwe, or indy 500 honor. He aint known by anyone outside. He is rarely talked about. Mayweather is waiting for cotto to become great. the fight will happen trust me. I think that cotto needs to step up and actualy call him out, he uses arum as his shield cus he can not confront anyone. Cotto is looking down at floyd when he should be looking up. mayweather is the best. so COTTO needs to fight the best not Floyd. Floyd has already doubled anything cotto has ever done. COTTO is fighting bums like gomez and people give him more credit for that then they did for floyd beating hatton. Stop the hating. Floyd is by far the better smarter fighter and will win big if they fight. COTTO IS OVERATED AND IS NOT KNOWN OUTSIDE OF BOXING. We want boxing back.

It's sad these Floyd fans are making excuses like, Cotto is not on Dancing with the stars or wwe, thats why he wont get a fight with Floyd and thats why is not on a "great" status. Why does Cotto need to fight Magarito or Williams but Mayweather doesn't? If they were threats in the welterweight division before cotto beat mosley or judah, why doesn't the "P4P best fighter in boxing" dispose of these threats? I'm not trying to take anything away from Floyd, he is a great fighter. But the excuses you guys making are a bit ridiculous.

Who cares about how good you are? If WWE fans haven't heard of you, you're a nobody, right?
Besides, Mayweather does this with all potential opponents, such as how he waited for Baldomir to become massively famous outside of boxing before facing him.
