    Even if Floyd beats the Cotto-Margarito winner, he will get no credit

    People will just say that the guy who lost could still beat Floyd. We've seen this happen before. The most recent example is those who said they still pick Margarito to beat Quintana after Quintana beat Williams.

    Say Cotto wins and Floyd beats Cotto, they will say that since he is smaller than Tony and throws less he was easier for Floyd to beat, but he could not handle Margarito's size and pressure. If Tony wins and Floyd beats him, they would say that since Cotto has a more controlled attack and better overall skills he would beat Floyd. In both cases, their justification would be "styles makes fights"

    People picked Baldomir to beat him because he was bigger, but when he lost he was a slow journeyman who never had a chance. They picked Oscar to beat him because he was bigger and had good skills, but after he lost he was over the hill , and they picked Hatton to beat him because of his relentless pressure, but after he lost, he was undersized. When someone HATES and is biased against a fighter, they will find ANY reason imaginable to put him down. And THAT is "plain and basic common sense"

    wow again with this ****. no one was lookin for Baldomir vs. Floyd, people werent asking for Mayweather/DLH, people werent asking for Mayweather/Hatton like they are asking for Cotto/Mayweather.

    why do you guys insist in saying that people were picking those fighters to beat Floyd? Where are they? where are the odds?

    what the **** does the opinion of a SMALL group of people matter?

        the matter of fact is, Cotto vs. Judah had closer odds than any of Mayweather's recent fights, the fact is Cotto vs. Mosley had odds favoring Mosley so what you are saying in turn is really more appropriate for Cotto.

          To avoid this Floyd should just man up and fight both Margarito and Cotto.

          If he does and wins then Floyd is one of the greatest of our time.

                I agree with the thread, People are thick they would still come up with different excuses, This has nothing to do with Cotto or Margarito but when someone hates you then its easy to find a fault in anything you do.

                  Yeah that's they way it will always be, if he beats Cotto they will say "he beat a robot, big deal" or something, you know how it is

                    That has to do with PBF's greatness compare to cotto's.
