I'm not a hater.
I've given Floyd credit when it was due.
In regards to his skills, speed, reflexs, ring smarts, overall abilities.
As far as his decisions when it comes to who he steps in the ring with.
He gets NO love.
Not just from me - not just from the other Cotto fans on this board - but even Larry Merchant and just about every boxing writer in the universe buddy.
Your username is "SryNoAutographs" buddy.
You obviously think you're the online capacity of Floyd.
Bow down hoe.Comment

I'm out for now, but for all you PBF haters, keep supporting Cotto and calling out Floyd for him because we all now for damn sure Cotto aint man enough to do it on his own...Comment

Funny thing is, of all the excuses Floyd has come up with thus far, Cotto's reluctance to call him out on national tv isnt one of them. Only the fanboys are claiming this to be the reason why Floyd wont take the fight.Comment

Cotto has certainly began to show his personality more and talk a bit more in general.WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto welcomes a December bout with Oscar De La Hoya. Several days ago, De La Hoya said he was very interested in making the last fight of his career against Cotto. De La Hoya must first get past Steve Forbes on May 3 and then Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September. Cotto has a tough task ahead with Antonio Margarito on July 26. [details]
This is good.
Instead of saying, "well my promoters tell me who to fight" cotto said, "if de la hoya is serious then call them up"...not a major step but its a step none-the-less.
Lets be honest here; IF oscar does beat forbes (which i believe he will) and then go on to beat mayweather (this is definately the tough fight) who would be left for oscar to fight? cotto.
I dont think oscar could go out any better to end his career than fight miguel cotto because if he gets past floyd who else would be a more logical choice? unless im overlooking someone i have to say cotto.
Trinidad WOULD HAVE been the fight except at this point the weight difference is too great and even if they were close in weight class i think tito has faded much further from his prime than oscar and it wouldnt be the exciting fight that we all expect it to be. it wouldnt mirror the first fight at all.
This way oscar would basically be stepping into floyd's shoes and fight cotto (like we'd all want floyd to do if he beats oscar)...so i think oscar is doing the right thing.
The only thing i keep thinking about though is what if oscar beats floyd in the rematch? doesnt that force a trilogy? in my eyes it does; and im sure most of you who say, "floyd should fight a true top WW in their prime" would say, "okay; oscar beat him; they are 1-1; a 3rd fight needs to take place".
i know thats what i would be thinking...
so maybe oscar has 4 fights before retirement.
its the most logicial scenario should oscar beat floyd in the rematch.Comment
