Miguel Cotto: "Mayweather, 147 Doing Well Without Him"

[Boofdatruth]

Wrong. He turned down 8mil to fight the biggest threat at WW at the time, so that he can make $1 more to fight a journeyman with 9 losses who happened to have possesion of the titles at the moment. That win did absolutely zilch for his legacy. All he did was stink the place up, and cry like an emotional woman afterwards!

Arum wasn't paying anyone 8 mil. The amount was 7 mil, and he only wanted to smear Floyd because Floyd was leaving him. Everyone believes everything about another boxer until their boxer is criticized lol. The economics of boxing don't add up when you say Arum offered 8 mil to Floyd. They say Floydhsn't defended the titles in 2-3 years. Why doesn't he have all the titles he won first off? Second, why is any man stripped for not paying sanctioning fees. Third, who was in the top 10 that he had to defend against. Say he didn't fight the other so-called champions right away, who was the contender he was supposed to defend against at that time? Each sanctioning body had a top 10 ranking...

Williams knocked out Carlos Quintana in the first round and the first fight between them was a good fight. Williams gives the WW division a new dimension with his height and hand speed. I hope Mayweather returns .

Im not discrediting Williams at all. He is a good fighter, but i dont see how the division will die without him or Floyd as boof claims. Truth is, Williams is damn near commiting suicide by trying to make 147.

Cotto telling lies as usual.

Nothing that comes from this ****er's mouth is ever true.

You'd rather have Floyd in the mix just so he can yap his trap, instead of just watching the best take on the best? Williams? What excitement does he bring to the division??? Can it be that you are just a supporter of black fighters?

I just remembered why I never respected your thoughts on boxing.

What was Winky Wrights biggest win and when did he have it and why?

Winky Wrights biggest win was shutting out trinidad, he got it when trinidad was feeling himself and decided he could take him.

if you are talking about his first win with shane, i have no idea why shane took this fight, it was a terrible management desicion and instead of taking a DLH rematch he got stifled by wright, you could say it was brave, but nobody really gave him a chance to win (and rightfully so), his fight with wright was universally derided because he took less money to fight a much tougher fight on a smaller scale and it derailed his career (ala forrest) once again.

If Arums's $8mil offer wasnt legit as u claim, how do we know that Floyd actually made $8mil+$1 to fight Baldomir. When the question was presented to Dan Goosen during a btalk interview with G.Leon, his answer was "its not about the money. Its about the best WW in the world, fighting the best fighter in the world" He completely refused to answer if Floyd was actually making $8.000.001.

I support many black fighters, but Williams really gets nothing from me.

He looks off balance on every punch he throws.
He gets all this credit for his workrate when most of those punches he throws come off as slaps (ala Calzaghe).

Margs really didn't beat Clottey. Clottey lumped margs up, and was the recipient of bad scoring. Margs did beat Cintron who was scared of him, and a bunch of ex-140 lb fighters. He was never anything special. I wouldn't call him a journeyman, but if he loses to cotto, he will be known as what we all thought he was...overrated.

bad scoring? (double slap)
