    Oscar said that after Mayweather, he wants Cotto. Now, whether you believe him or not, if you're the Cotto camp, you want to make sure if it IS a possibility, you will be able to do it. A loss to Margarito would stump that.

          it is my understanding that DLH and Hatton were fights that Floyd actively pursued or agreed to with no problem.
          Exactly. Floyd never explained anything, but Ricky beat two real legendary names, one who many think beat Floyd and another who many think could have, and ****, after Castillo the fight got made like that. If Ricky hadn't then the fight wouldn't have happened.

            ^^^^^

            Cotto hater. Floyd lover. people pull out of fights all the time. I guarantee if Oscar was like, "Oye Cotto, lets fight", Cotto would had been like PEACE to Margo. Skills just cant stand when Mayweather isnt getting all the attention. This wasnt even a Mayweather thread and this fool still felt the need to disrespect me.

              Trust me Mayweather only fought Hatton because of his English fans base...And the fact that it would be an easy fight for him.

                but you said that Floyd made ricky go through all of that as if Hatton had been calling Floyd out for years and Floyd kept saying he wasn't good enough. That wasn't the case. Floyd didnt fight Ricky because of what he accomplished, but because of the amount of finance he was capable of producing. Get real here. And the many wasnt the majority by the way. Majority equates significance.

                      2501...If Oscar said Cotto lets do it ofcourse Cotto would ditch Margarito, Why did you think it took Cotto abit long to sign to fight Margarito? He knows he needs to see if other attractive fights comes up or are around the corner.
