    Not really.

    It's their logo. Would you prefer if I had a pic of the team showering together?

      Floyd couldnt secure a fight with hatton or cotto

      Hatton wasnt ever going to get in the ring with a young cotto, so cotto fought anybody he could at 140.

      140 has seen alot of inactivity, ducking, and crap throughout the last few years.

      Yeah, but for whatever reason Cotto ended up fighting better competition at that weight than either PBF or Hatton. Hatton just basically has Tzu and Urango (Castillo was a LW who was pretty shot since his fight before Hatton). PBF could've had the best there but he went up to the bigger money when he couldn't secure Hatton. I think Cotto was too green for PBF at that weight too.

      So I'm not saying Cotto was the best jrWW at the time but he at the least fought just as good if not better competition than any other jrWW. Maussa, Sosa, Pinto, Corley, Paulie, Torres all pretty respectable for a guy coming up.

      Than the seasoned older Cotto stepped it up at WW and fought many top 10 in his weight class. A good progression.

            I honestly cant think of any worthwhile fight at 140 for PBF other than Gatti and Hatton. The Gatti fight, even though alot of people cast it down, meant and did alot for PBF, especially the way it played out, but on the other hand i think it hurt him, do you honestly think Hatton would have shied away from him like he did if he didint see that **** face to face? PBF looked like freakin superman in that fight.


            Cotto fought basically every viable WW canidate, however, Live Dog had a point when he said that Cotto has yet to take a title from someone at WW, he will get his chance now against a prime fighter.

            I think Cottos resume is good, there are alot of decent names on the list, Margarito is the first true welterweight hes fighting in my opinion, one who actually poses a real threat with his punch output and potential power due to cotto having no idea how to move out the way of a right hand.

            Im not ready to call Cotto the second coming just yet, especially since this is his first prime WW opponent. I think Decent/Good are the words for his resume, impressed? Ill be impressed if he continued this **** into 154, or better yet, 160. Or if he unified the welterweight division.

              I've got a lot of time for Cotto and his resume is shaping up to be something special.

                Why do you take it so personal? First you call him a hater for feeling as though cottos resume has a couple of questionmarks, then you rip on the chicago cubs, then you call him out on his sexuality... I have seen far worse from far less objective posters, i think you are being unfair and also basically ignoring this fact

                if you have a picture of a sweaty man, looking oiled up, shirtless, doing jumprope with his shorts/pants whatever practically coming off, as a man, you cannot call someone else a f4ggot.

                i know you will probably claim im not black (again) and everything else, but im just saying.

                  Appreciate it but it's not necessary. The day an intelligent and unbiased opinion about Cotto comes from him is the day I'll take him seriously. Until that time I'll just figure that he really enjoys watching his fav fighter skip rope.

                    His resume is certainly better than a lot of fighters, but at the same time i'm not amazed by it.

                      I'm not putting PBF's 140lbs career down. Do a post search on me, I have defended it for ages. He went after Gatti (which put his mainstream exposure on another level) saw he couldn't get the 2 big fights and went for bigger WW money.

                      LOL @ Live Dog.........who are you? I dont even remember reading any worth while post from you.
