    Floyd has always avoided highly skilled opponents like Mosley, Cotto and Tszyu. He prefers the courageous but less slick fighters like Gatti, Hatton, Corrales and Baldomir.
    You don't even know what you're talking about..

    Shane claimed he had a toothache..then he said he needed time with his family..


    Look at all the highly skilled fighters Joe has avoided..

    RJJ..Toney..PRIME Hopkins...Echols..!!

    Slappy was supposed to fight the WINNER of Brewer/Echols

    But

    That COWARD fought the LOSER instead of the WINNER..

    Floyd has more balls than Joe..and more Titles

      Shane has taken more punishment than Oscar..

      Plus

      Floyd beat Oscar at 154..

      When has Cotto fought a bigger man??

      He just drains-down to fight below his normal weight

        I suggest u look at at the post-fight interview that Mosley had with Larry Merchant, following his rematch with Vargas. Mosley stated that he made it known that this will be his last fight of the year, because he will take the rest of the year off to spend time with his family. Now how do u call someone out AFTER they said they will be taking the rest of the year off, then claimed that he ducked you? Its like calling out a fighter after he retires, then when he says no, u claim he ducked u! LOL. Lets also not forget that when Shane returned, he called Floyd out, and what did Floyd say? "I dont fight sparring partners"

          I don't see Cotto calling Floyd out right now. And if he does in the future I think Floyd will fight him and beat him.

            Cotto is too polite to trash talk, but his promoter Bob Arum has been calling for Floyd to find the courage to fight Cotto.

              You don't have to be rude to call a guy out..

              Cotto could have fought Floyd at 140..he lacked courage to make it happen..

              Floyd has far more courage than Calzhage..that's for damn sure..

                U seem to be avoiding my question like the plague, but i'll ask it for the 3rd time. If Cotto was worthy enough for Floyd to fight at 140, how is he "unworthy" now, especially being that his stock, resume, and notoriety have grown since then?

                  Floyd wasn't in the driver's seat at 140 the way he is now..He was a Top Rank fighter..just like Cotto

                  He wants mega-fights nowadays..

                  Cotto wanted no parts of Floyd at 140..just like Hatton..and will get beat-down at 147..just like Hatton..

                    Weak excuse. Just like the excuse that Floyd has made about Cotto needing to become a CEO before he can accept a fight with him.

                      What was Cotto's excuse at 140??
