Cotto fights Gomez and nothing.

Forrest fights Mora and nothing.

Pavlik fights Lockett and nothing.

Hatton fights Lazcano and nothing.

Yet everyone is up in arms about Floyd's competition. I wonder why that is....

[TheGreatA]

Because he fights once a year.

Im a floyd fan but i understand this, 1, they are not floyd mayweather, They dont make millions everytime they fight,
2. They had not fought those fighters before
3. They didnt have several people lined up who honestly deserved a fight with them with the exception of ricky hatton

Those fights are stay busy fights. In Cotto's case, he turns around and fights Margarito just a few months later. Floyd hardly fights, and when he does they're meaningless to the boxing world.

If Floyd were to fight a bum AND Cotto/Mosley/Margo/Cottey any top 10 welter in the same year, there wouldnt be any criticism. but he isnt.

Cotto fougth Gomez "bum" and now is fighting Margarito AND is fighting one more time. 3 times a year just like most of his other years.

so what are you crying about?

Why do you fools bring up Gomez but ignore the fact that he's fighting Margarito only a couple of months later? Why leave out that bit of information haha?

and for the record, there is criticism, but the best is always held to the highest standard because...............anyone.............bueler... ......bueler...........bueler?

Floyd's fights have been a lot more meaningful than Cotto's.

The Hatton fight was a blockbuster..and it ended with a ****..

Cotto can't touch that..

Forrest is a semi retired geezer.

Pavlik just fought JT 2x and Miranda.

Hatton has fought Castillo who was ranked #2 at 140 behind him, Mayweather who is #1 in the world and he's signed to face Paulie who is #2 behind him.

Mayweather since winning the title has faced a past his best 154 guy and a 140 guy. He's signed to rematch that 154 guy again and if he wins will be facing that 140 guy again.

Does this need to be spelled out?

He needs to fight the Cotto v Margarito winner!

meaningful to his bank account, not so much to the boxing world. but that doesnt matter to you of course because you guys create your own alternate reality.

True boxing fans are much more excited about the Cotto-Margarito fight than the Mayweather-De La Hoya rematch. Don't try to say otherwise.
